Keith,
How are you any different than the "scammers" you have so vehemently gone after? You don't actually need the money, your answers to many of the questions on the campaign are not very serious, but you do genuinely appear to want people to put money into this thing - and it is really actually live and if people put money in, they will genuinely be charged on their credit card and the money given to you.
So what is the difference? Intent? But good intent is what I've said (and you have agreed with) cannot be the basis for giving those seeking funding a free pass on not delivering or not being serious or respectful of the $$$ people are investing in them.
The difference is that I will deliver what I have promised.
I am serious and I am respectful to my supporters (or should I say supporter?)
However....by going through the Indiegogo application process I have already proven that ANYBODY can put up any kind of a proposal on Indiegogo and start receiving money from day one.
If the promoter is a bit short in the scruple department and is telling a load of porkies then the contributors will be unlikely to get their money back.
Now
:-DD which way to the bank? :-DD

Two points...
1) I am positive the founders of this Mu Imager or the Pebble (both of which you have lambasted) would also say they are serious and respectful of their supporters, and that they will deliver.
2) You say you are being serious and respectful (of the fact that people are putting their hard earned money in). Based on the answers you posted to questions on Indiegogo, "serious" and "respectful" are not the words that come to mind.
For example:
Point out your successful track record with projects like this (if you have one).
I got it together once.
I forgot where I put it.
Make it real for people and build trust.
I am real, you can trust me.
Remind them to use the Indiegogo share tools!
Try to remember........... what was that again?
And that’s all there is to it.
Whooo Hoooo!
It appears that you are making a bit of a joke with the project. I think my feeling is confirmed by your statement that "I have already proven that ANYBODY can put up any kind of a proposal on Indiegogo and start receiving money from day one.".
I'm not saying you are a scammer. I am just pointing out that, from my perspective, you have gotten so wrapped up in this Suncube thing from years ago and your resultant internet war against people seeking investments that you might have lost the plot a bit, and may even be emulating aspects of that which you detest so much in your seemingly scorched earth policy towards such folks.
Just an observation - take it for what it's worth. But keep in mind that at least a few other users have raised similar complaints, and the forum owner has mentioned he's gotten numerous reports and complaints as well. I don't think that helps your cause... and your cause appears to be well intentioned and just - so it's a shame.
