Hmmm, for me the cap wouldn't be enough, I'd just have to create an account, fake for twenty referals, then do this multiple times. But maybe I'm over-paranoid

Hmmm, for me the cap wouldn't be enough, I'd just have to create an account, fake for twenty referals, then do this multiple times. But maybe I'm over-paranoid on this. Just that money/discount reward just for pushing people to signup seems to really start by hurting your business plan. Let's wait for other opinions on this.
You might consider posting your site with a different title, like a "Show HN : launching a new brand of t-shirts targetting programmers" or an equivalent? Because the current title seems to ask advice on how to go viral and a lot of people might not even know your project exists even if they would like it!
- outdooricon 14y agoI'm not completely familiar with Hacker New's rules, but I'm a little concerned about being considered spam if I post again. Do you think it'd be ok to just go ahead and make another post?
- koopajah 14y agoI'm not really sure but I guess you're right, posting again would not be really useful, because a Show HN would only show a "launchrock" page for the moment. Maybe after improving the website or starting the kickstarter campaign you could come back here and ask for feedback ?
- outdooricon 14y agoYah, I think you're right... we'll definitely have to do that. Also, glad to hear that you're on board with Kickstarter :)
