Because if it wasn't hard, then everyone would be doing it, competition would be greater, and separating yourself would be more difficult.

You could be right, but I also wonder if option A, B, or C are great filters for weeding out those that are not ready/determined?

You make some great points, and I can't say that any of them are off-base. My comment is obviously filtered by my experiences in the industry, which might be unfair to the founders in question. However, my comment seems to have resonat

Ask for enough money to have say 3-6 months of resources, which would force them to figure out pricing/business economics before the money runs out, and forces them to invest in the idea as much as their backers do. First reaction for

Point blank - I'm tired of people abusing crowdfunding as some sort of money grab (Spike Lee's recent Kickstarter as an example) and because I'm involved in the industry, I have a vested interest in seeing crowdfunding, as an

what does Ayn Rand have to do with any of this?

Totally get it, but why not share some of the risk with your supporters and meet them halfway? Asking for a full (decent) salary for two people for a year places all of the risk on your supporters and makes you look uninspired. Edit: I can&

I'm in the crowdfunding business, so I feel strange saying this, but I'm really turned off by this model of 'pay us in advance for developing a product that hasn't been market tested or validated,' especially when a

They'll need to do something. I typically go to B&N to beef up my Amazon wishlist. So they're paying all of that overhead to send customers to another marketplace.

I disagree. Re-scaffolding is a pain in the arse, and if I'm not using something like Bootstrap, I'm using textexpander to re-use snippets, which in effect, is the same thing. Even if you don't like boostrap, I'd recomme

I downvoted you because your comment doesn't recognize the context of the article. It's not about being treated poorly, but making stupid decisions that lead to poor product.

I agree with this. The Fountainhead is one of my favorite books, but Wales is no Roark.

They can't prevent you from selling it, but they can revoke your access to the API.

Yes it's a beta product, but it's a beta product that costs about 2200 bucks and a day+ of time in order to get to a Glass pickup center. I just got mine, and I'm 50/50 on keeping it. I don't think anyone is faultin

Part of the reason I'm offering my opinion is because of the hero worship that happens on this site. Sometimes opinions aren't as balanced as I'd like them to be.

I'm a little leery anytime someone goes from doing 'Activity A' to no longer doing 'Activity A' and instead teaching people how to do it. I don't know Patrick personally, so I won't denigrate him for this

Crowdfunding tools should belong to the crowd? I'd like to hear more rationale on that statement.

Am I the only one that feels the logo now reads as: Mailchimys?

Thanks a lot. My partner Shawn worked very hard on that one, and we put a lot of time/effort into it. Glad you found it useful.

That's fair enough, I appreciate the feedback. Ironically, I avoided a lengthier comment because I worried it would seem fake.

If you really want to keep building Fred, you could use something like IgnitionDeck ( http://ignitiondeck.com ) to raise money over a longer duration. We've had a lot of people come to us after successful and non-successful K

It's not that America wants this, it's that the politicians we elect do not keep their promises. Those that try are forced out, shaken down, relegated to stay at the bottom of the ladder. In our current political climate, a politi

The business owner doesn't share the risk, so I'm not sure how that applies. If anything, offering more 'benefits' increases his/her risk. Outside of specialized industries, most employees are replaceable, so I don&

The majority of Americans do not believe the banks should have been bailed out. I'm speaking on behalf of the average SMB owner.

People probably assume that you work for retroshare and are using this thread to promote it.

That's quite rude no? The OP was merely stating an opinion, which he/she is entitled to do. Bitter much?

I'd say this proves the OP's point. We don't believe in handouts. Paid vacation and sick time is something to be earned, not granted as a token thank you for working here. Edit: If you're going to downvote, why not expou
