I've watched about 10 random 1 minute updates, and the smallest one I've seen was $3500.

The largest was almost $7000.

A MINUTE. That's crazy.

It's impressive, for sure. But does ANYONE think this pace will continue? You have to remember that today was supposed to be a big dumping day for Paul. I suspect a lot of people (who might give monthly) combine both October and November to today's big push.

It would be interesting to see depth/breadth numbers (how many people are giving, how many are close to capping out, what is the growth rate of the number of different contributors, etc.)

Almost as important as the actual money is all the free publicity brought in. Hillary picked up quite a lot of press for her 1.5 million $ birthday fund raiser and Paul has a shot at doubling that today. The kind of coverage he can get for this could be worth a million or two in itself and could bring in many new contributers to replace those who are tapped out after today.
