According to your web site (http://brwr.org), you're a "software hacker living in Mountain View, CA". So presumably, if you really wanted to become an entrepreneur, you could save money from your job and invest it in a side business rather than begging $1 donations from random people on the web. If I wanted to give $1 to a beggar, I'd rather give it to the homeless guys on the street who are asking for money to buy food.

And yes, you're begging, not looking for investors. If you were looking for investors, you'd have a business plan and would be offering the investors a piece of your business in return for their money.
