Bumping would actually be preferable to sticking it, imo. Why not write about this on the Dolphin blog? Can't get much more visible than that.

I dunno, I personally don't want to have too much spam on the blog. Maybe I'll post it on facebook in a few days or sth.

Well, an official blog is usually used for these types of things (supporting a project financially and whatnot) imo, but Facebook works too. Maybe someone should tweet about this on Twitter too? AnyOldName can spam Reddit with this fwiw too :p

I spent over $1,000 on amazon over the last few months getting my paintball gun modded and aquariums/ponds set up. If you had only started this sooner you would have made a fortune off of me.

Well, it still is only 4-6% so it's not a huge amount of money from any one person, even if he or she buys a lot from Amazon. It's if a large portion of those of us who are aware do this whenever we buy from Amazon that it can become significant. I've spread the word some to help. I think a blog post, Facebook, and Twitter would all be good things. The earlier people are aware of it the more people there will be who haven't done their holiday shopping yet and can take advantage of it.
Also, can Dolphin Pro be made available for more than just Android or would that take too much extra effort/logistics? I'd buy it given the option. In fact, I'd really prefer supporting the core development rather than Android in particular.

@nothingtosay
This really is a "do what you feel like" style open source project. The only reason we even have an android version is because one of the devs wanted to make one. It wasn't really a team/project goal. At least not initially. What other platforms do you want it to support?
RE: Buying on Amazon for Christmas? Support Dolphin in 1 click - nothingtosay - 11-20-2013
I care about Windows mainly, but of course some Mac and Linux users would buy Dolphin Pro for their OS to support the developers. The emulator has definitely brought me greater than $6 worth of enjoyment so I'd be happy to monetize my appreciation and reward their continued labor in some small way.

I thought dolphin pro was just the android version of dolphin?

It is, but he wants it for other OS's too
