The private provision of discrete public goods is studied in situations of incomplete information and continuous contributions. Two scenarios are considered, one where contributions are not refunded if the project is not completed and the other where contributions are reunded. It is shown that in the former case, if cost is high enough, there are only strong free riding equilibria. Several equilibria of both types of situations are studied and a new proof ex-post inefficiency is given.
