'bitstarter' is the CEO of BST , if you want any updates and any other info you can contact him.

I would assume he's reading this thread.  Wink

I would PM him, but I think many people, not just me, would appreciate concrete information.

Update: We took it to PM and I spoke personally to BinaryMage. Hopefully, I re-assured him we are on the right track! I'll get more concrete information though.

Edit ninja'd you!  Smiley

Indeed, bitstarter was professional and seemed to have a clear concept of what needed to be done. Hopefully the site will be operational soon.

Yes you did edit Ninja'd me! Thanks BinaryMage for the great conversation!

EDIT: Talked to bitstarter and sen. Sounds like this is indeed coming along, they've just hit a few hiccups along the way. It should be up and running pretty soon.

Some days ago game designer Tim Schafer hit the news by setting a
new record for crowdfunding. He was able to raise nearly 2 mio US-Dollars for
the development of a new adventure game called "Double Fine Adventure".

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/66710809/double-fine-adventure?ref=search

This success proves that crowdfunding has become a real alternative
to classical ways of fundraising. Why do I mention this?
A problem for our bitcoin-economy or generally speaking for a cryptocurrency
economy is exactly the issue of funding. I am sceptical that without
law enforcement a conventional way of banking and stock exchange is possible.
Crowdfunding on the other hand does not need a high level of law enforcement.
The funding is more or less a donation, and will go mainly to projects that
serve a common cause - let's say an open source project like a bitcoin app, or a
plug-in for wordpress. With crowdfunding it could be possible to hire
programmers that get their payments in bitcoins only.

my conclusion: we need a crowdfunding platform running on cryptocurrencies
as soon as possible!
