Not that I don't believe the fine folks at Lockitron, just a question about this Kickstarter-on-your-own-site thing that seems to be catching on. Since this isn't audited by an independent company (like Kickstarter) how do you blindly believe what the company says? Doing so would be a smart way to build more buzz, resulting in more success.
PS: The blog is down, so I'm not sure if they presented any visual evidence, such as an Amazon screenshot. But that's easily doctored too.
- niggler 14y agoTo be fair, it's not clear to what extent Kickstarter was actually auditing projects (in light of the various complaints)
- dror 14y agoThe amounts are published by Kickstarter and they're the ones collecting the money and passing it to the project, so there's no question that they're correct. The complaints had to do with the delivery of the product after the project was funded.
