UbuntuEdge mobile fundraising project was blocked. The next day, the fundraising speed slowed down.

Canonical originally planned to raise $32 million to create the UbuntuEdge smartphone project seems to have encountered some problems, because on the first day of fundraising, the amount of money raised reached $3.4 million, it has exceeded 10% of the target amount, but the growth has slowed down significantly from the next day. Currently, UbuntuEdge only raised $3.9 million for the Indiegogo website, that is, only $0.5 million for the past 21 hours on the second day of the launch of the project. If Canonical is to be reached

Canonical originally planned to raise $32 million to create a Ubuntu Edge smartphone project, which seems to have encountered some problems, because on the first day of fundraising, the amount of money raised reached $3.4 million, it has exceeded 10% of the target amount, but the growth has slowed down significantly from the next day.

At present, Ubuntu Edge only raised $3.9 million for the Indiegogo site, that is, only $0.5 million for the past 21 hours on the second day of the launch of the project. To reach the Edge manufacturing goal, Canonical must ensure a fundraising speed of no less than $1 million per day. Canonical has now added several lower donation prices, $625, $675, and $725.

Canonical originally planned to offer discounts for the first 5000 donors for the phone at $600, and later donors will get the Ubuntu phone at $5000. There are still 3750 people who have the opportunity to get a preferential price for Ubuntu Edge. However, before the official release of the mobile phone, I don't know if it can reach the target of $32 million.
