Well, that was a nice bump. John Walker just kicked in a grand. That puts me over 10% of the goal on the first full day. Not sure how many more of those I’ll get, though.
[Update a while later]
I’ve gotten a couple emails wondering if there’s some way to contribute anonymously. Unfortunately, I don’t think Kickstarter allows that. I can understand how there would be a lot of people who’d like to support it, but would suffer repercussions if they did so publicly. However, if I get funded, I’d be happy to take more money under the table for equivalent rewards, and just keep track of it myself, instead of Kickstarter. That would have the additional advantage of eliminating the take from the middle man (7-8%).
Hey Rand! Meant to leave this comment yesterday. If you want the audio on your video to sound better, record it with a blanket over yourself and your computer. You’ll feel stupid, but sound great.
Stupid and hot. 🙂
Kickstarter requires an account, but doesn’t care what the name it shows is. Anyone who’d rather not show their real name can make an account with some non-identifiable random handle on it. I imagine you can also find one or several trustworthy people to do a “straw donation”.
“That would have the additional advantage of eliminating the take from the middle man (7-8%).”
Who does Kickstarter think they are, the government?
I know what you mean when you use phrases like “under the table,” but if the IRS sees that, watch out…
