One of the Dark Sky guys here... So yeah, we need money for servers, and to pay for rent / food / etc for the several months it'll take us to make this thing.

When you start doing the math, a lot of the money we're asking for disappears. 10% of what we raise goes to Kickstarter and Amazon (for payment processing). Another 30% - $35% goes to paying for the Kickstarter rewards, and then the government takes it's cut. What's left is a minority of the money.
- jhamburger 15y agoSorry if I missed something from the page but how do we know this really works?
- thegrossman 15y agoHah! You don't. ;-) We'll be writing more about how it works for our fellow nerds soon.
- vijayr 15y agoOh ok. I guess I didn't do the math correctly, I also didn't know you are going to work on it full time. Good luck, please come back and post here when you are done. You already have one future customer here :)
