Wait, IndieGoGo remove the project pages for projects that are funded successfully and then turn out to be scams? That isn't shady in the slightest...

SovietSpyGuy posted:Yeah, I'm not sure I see the point of a lawsuit in that case. That's a great way to ensure that neither you nor anyone else will ever see the product. Unless it was really that far gone that it was the only choice. Also, wow, if I'm not mistaken Torment: Tides of Numenera is going to have the biggest first day of funding out of all the video games Kickstarters so far.

Mu Thermal Camera - THE GREATEST TOOL TO ELIMINATE ENERGY WASTE. This was on Hack a Day a few days ago, and it's actually kind of cool on paper, but there are a few minor problems. Firstly, it's a Flexible Funding campaign for something that's going to have a whole bunch of upfront engineering costs. Secondly, just the thermal imaging sensor alone would apparently cost way more than the amount they're charging their backers for a complete device. Thirdly, they have no photos or videos showing either the actual hardware or a prototype of it, just renderings and a few videos that may or may not have been filmed on some kind of thermal camera.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/914635363/lace-anchors-20-a-simple-design-for-simple-people - there's probably nothing awful about the product itself, but is it just me or is the title of this Kickstarter a bit off?

I don't think Kickstarter lets you pledge more than $10,000 in one go either, so some trickery was presumably involved to arrange the $20,000 pledge.

http://fundanything.com/en/campaigns/internet-speed-booster - one of a whole two campaigns in the Technology section on Trump's site. I'm pretty sure that isn't technically possible, it doesn't need crowdfunding since it's already for sale on their website, and there's also an IndieGoGo campaign for it that's on the road to failure). They have some nice technobabble on their own website though:http://outbooster.com/info/ posted:Techie Answer: OutBooster amplifies an incoming signal through a series of patented self powered PoE magnetic transistors and aluminum mini-antennas to force a better bit rate. Then partnering with the best available hardware like gold plated 1000BASE-T Gigabit connections, it reduces the risk of loose or bad wiring. Finally, it balances packet transfer with built-in QoS (Quality of Service) to prioritize traffic and hardware regulation to minimize loops and broadcast storms. All with plug and play functionality to your existing network devices.

A Fancy 400 lbs posted:They probably just think that any internal part that stores data is called a hard drive, not that that's much better. quote:We initially installed a hard drive, but there are issues with a hard drive operating in zero-gravity, so we've switched to SSDs for memory. The SSDs are ready to be uploaded with information, and we've installed and tested the processors that will operate everything. (The lack of gravity isn't actually a problem as far as I know, but the lack of atmosphere means that if they did send hard drives up, they'd destroy themselves as soon as they were powered on.)

A Fancy 400 lbs posted:You have to click on houses sometimes to get resources, so people played like five minutes and then flipped their poo poo about how it's "obviously" just a Farmville clone now even though playing for more than five minutes reveals that it, in fact, is not.
