"Developers of secure server Protonet asked for some $136,000 on a local crowdfunding website ? and were rewarded with $1 million in an hour and a half. The record campaign, one year after Snowden?s NSA leaks, ended with more than $2 million raised.

Hamburg-based startup Protonet, which launched its first private cloud device in July 2013 ? a month after the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed the scale of US internet surveillance ? on Wednesday proved the spying scandal is still in full swing.

The small team of 23 asked for 100,000 euros in funding ($135,830) to support its products, including a new model of a secure server for small companies, on the German crowdfunding site Seedmatch. While Protonet had already raised twice as much on the same website last year, the developers were amazed at the speed the people responded to their cause.

In just 89 minutes, the startup raised 750,000 euros (over $1 million), breaking the world crowdfunding speed record registered at Kickstarter. The previous speed record was held by the Veronica Mars movie project, which took just over 4 hours to gather the same amount. "
