From Kickstarter FAQ:
To be eligible to start a Kickstarter project, you need to satisfy the requirements of Amazon Payments:
—You are 18 years of age or older.
—You are a permanent US resident with a Social Security Number (or EIN).
—You have a US address, US bank account, and US state-issued ID (driver’s license).
—You have a major US credit or debit card.
So it's a big no-no for a lot of people who happen not to be residents of the US, like me.

- dbaupp 14y agoI have no idea on the details; but is there a member of the PyPy project (or of the Hippy VM project) who does satisfy those requirements, and who you can arrange to proxy the funds through?
- lucian1900 14y agoThat sort of setup might be considered fraud by Kickstarter, or their financial services.
- dbaupp 14y agoThe "arrange" was meant to mean: arrange so that it is completely legal & not considered fraud (etc). I have literally no idea if this is possible though.
