‘Nano-Quantum Molecular Recombiner’?

You forgot to use the word “green”, that one works everytime.

In fact the biggest source of “crowd funding” is the U.S. Government.
The crowd is us taxpayers and the funding is the taxes we pay.

And almost every Alternative energy company that they have funded in the past has gone bankrupt.

And the alternative is...? Burn more coal? Nice rant though, you should run for office.

Nice sound bite!, you should run against me.

What I’m pointing out here is that this fool in the video is small time. There are much bigger players playing the same game.

Kickstarter should really work on killing scams. I don’t know about others but when I hear “kickstarter” I think scam. Certainly there have been some legitimate great kickstarters.

[WarHawk-AVG]

Yeah…scams wouldn’t be as big a problem if kickstarter held the “donations” until the project was actually produced…and then people can cancel their donations until the actual release

this way scammers just don’t get buckets of cash until “production” time

If they fail to produce…well then like paypal…they don’t get paid

[Halo]

Funds are usually used to produce the products. Holding funds won’t work here. The kickstarter company just doesn’t bother to vet projects, or even look at them at all.
