op has too much free time that is why I said he should get a job.I've never done a kickstarter or Indigogo etc but is there not an option to do a refund? If I did do one and did not reach the goal or was not able to deliver for any reason I wouldn't want to just take people's money without delivering anything. I guess this is why I'm not rich like that crypto badger dude.
Been playing around in Protocase designer to get an idea of how much it would cost to build a rackmount case as the options here in Canada suck for that sort of thing. If I was to do it I'd probably do a kickstarter as the more I can get made the cheaper they are per unit.
With Kickstarter, if the project doesn't hit their funding goal, then nobody pays anything and the project doesn't go forward. But there's no refund if the project isn't completed (for the most part).I've never done a kickstarter or Indigogo etc but is there not an option to do a refund?

It's a tiny niche I don't see being widely useful. but I could be wrong. Let's say you want to buy 1000ac of rainforest as a preserve, and it's gonna cost $n. You have a year to raise funds, or it'll be sold off as a palm plantation. You don't know if $n is even possible, but you start a campaign to try to make it happen. People can donate money and know for sure their money will go to the stated goal, or they'll get their money back.It sounds like OP is suggesting something where everyone gets a refund if the project isn't completed in time. Kind of a fundamental flaw though, in theory you spend the funding money while you're working on the project... so where does this $10,000 come from after a year? Does it just get held in escrow, and you don't get it until you're done? What's the point there?
Well, that would be workable under Kickstarter as-is.It's a tiny niche I don't see being widely useful. but I could be wrong.
