The first 200 (at least) I will be shipping myself.
If I do use the same mail company again, I have made it clear I will only use Australia Post, not Directlink.

EARLY SIGNATURE EDITION.

You'll also get a low serial number unit 5 6-15...

Or are you anticipating selling 4 "I have more money than sense" option?

I'm using it because I talk about Kickstarter all the time on the AmpHour, and doing my own campaign means I'll be able to now talk with some authority on the subject.

Looks like they dropped amazon payments?

Non-US projects are handled differently. I don't need an amazon payments account like all US projects creators do, and the money goes directly into my back account minus a merchant fee. I don't know what CC merchant they are using though?

! Private video

I have never funded a kickstarter... until now. But this device is a darn useful tool to have and I could not pass up the opportunity. It won't be used often, but when it is needed it will be like gold. A bit like my digital frequency meter - rarely used, but when you need it you need it. A Christmas present to me from me - something I always wanted! :)

So start assembling!  :)

I found the difference in price compared to the first prod. run too big, however µRulers in 3 different colours was tempting.

Place your bets, final kickstarter funding amount...

Kicktraq says it's trending towards $34,245 but it's lagging a bit behind and basing that on data an hour ago.

What a missery.

Would have liked to found the Project and get one of those nice mCurrets, but Kickstarter doesn't want my Money.
On Pozible i payed happily via PayPal to get those nice Rulers but Kickstarter only acceps Kredit Cards. Don't have a Card...

Greetings
Janaha  :'(

I totally understand why you use Kickstarter. It is funded more, it is bigger. I would do the same. Only they look at non-english speaking countries, like they don't exist.
