If just one of you would have seriously backed statpedia with the amount of time spent criticizing people, it probably would have been enough to create snowballing success by now. It is time for me to spend my free time doing more productive things to make this happen. nobody backed your little project because there was nothing to back. you had nothing to show, and nothing to pitch. potential investors need more than "what if there was a website with statistics?". that's not a business plan, hell it's barely even an idea! what statistics? how is the money spent? how is it going to turn a profit? how sustainable is that income? target audience? etc etc etc... you were asked all these questions multiple times and never once answered any of them. instead all we got was delusional boasts about how you were going to be a millionaire - because you had an idea for a website! maybe nobody wants a site full of user-generated statistics because user-generated content is by definition unreliable. people who want statistics can already google them and get the results direct from the source, so why would they go to your site, let alone pay for it? you think you're some kind of hot-shot ideas guy, but there are a million other people like you who all think having an idea is the really hard part and that actually turning the idea into a functional product is just grunt work for somebody else, or which will just magically happen by itself once money is acquired. ideas are nothing. implementation is everything. people criticised you because you had no plan. they asked for details and got arrogant brush-offs. people are calling you crazy and telling you to take your meds because you sound, act, and post like a crazy person. you keep saying you want people to invest in your idea, then a page later you're posting some drivel about running a script to spam federalreserve.gov. now you're ranting about hard drive technology. you sound like a conspiracy theorist nutjob, not a reliable project leader. if someone gave you a million dollars they need to be confident that you wouldn't have another funny turn and spend it all on tinfoil hats or magnets to keep the mind control rays out of your head.

With the funding mentioned in the proposal, I believe 1% is achievable. I get yelled at for something, then I show results, then I get yelled at and criticized more. It is just a constant berate. This forum feels like the father that never approved of his son who tries so hard. Being constantly belittled is wearing. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/statpedia-post-stats-on-anything

Hey it looks like you put a lot of effort into that business pl TAKE YOUR MEDS PLEASE. you know we aren't joking right? you could get a lot of extra productivity out of being properly diagnosed and treated. there's nothing to be ashamed of. e: that mobile board is seriously cool, like my gf already would like a fitbit, it'd be a neat project to make an analogue so poor that she said "thanks honey" and went and bought a real one instead. but that's on my end.
