Again, I don't think blogging about this will influence your A/B test, because your (future) customers and people reading your blog don't overlap very much (or at all).
But, I do think publishing the A/B test does influence the outcome if they do overlap.
You are talking about the $30 that you could get but miss the point: you might get some extra money but in the process corrupt the validity of your A/B test and make a bad decision afterwards, based on that result. Well, not that it matters anyhow, as I'm pretty sure you have actually decided already to stop doing the Java app.
I would like to have somebody that knows more about sociology and statistical surveys explain if what I am saying makes sense or not.
The point of the A/B test is that, once devised, it is purely statistics and the software (from here on in) will tell patio11 which of the two options to adopt.
