I had a similar "dumb" 1 million dollar idea, but with a emoji money and a Twitter bot called Terence: https://twitter.com/helpterence

Sofar he has raised almost 8000, but I'm also looking for a way to get it out there!

Love silly twitter bots like that. This is adorable!

Thanks, I appreciate it!! They're a lot of fun to create as well, you never know how people are going to interact with them.

And I really hope that some day Terence's campaign really takes off without me really noticing it.

What's the story behind the staying low from the "twitter police"? https://twitter.com/helpterence/status/774672966961561600

Twitter is pretty strict when it comes to bots and apparently they didn't like Terence's behavior(automatic following, lots of similar replies) and his tweets were no longer showing up in peoples timelines (replies).
