I find it fascinating that Kickstarter considered this a "Home Improvement" product.
Its not an actual lock and doesn't become part of the home permanently. This is kind of like saying that one of those desktop USB dart shooters is a weapon, or one of those little "iPhone-bots" is a surveillance device. It seems like the perfect, hackable "geek device" that Kickstarter was made to fund.
I wonder if underneath the Kickstarter guys were afraid that it a) would never get funded, or b) you couldn't deliver.
Oh well, I guess it was their $75,000 to lose. A great big congratulations to you guys. Way to take a setback and spin it into epic win. Best of luck.
