Topic: Bitcoin Crowdfunding - page 2. (Read 1897 times)
Great idea like kickstarter for the 21st century currency.
Cool idea man
Kickstarter or Indiegogo are examples of crowdfunding. Basically someone who has a project starts a little page on the site. It details the project and contains a budget or goal of funding that project. Individuals can then look at the page, decide if they like the idea, whether they think the project originator is legitimate and decide to fund the project to some extent. It allows for giving donations and often there are rewards for funding a project to a certain amount. In most cases, the conditions of the crowdfunding site are that if the project makes all the funding it needs in a month, the funding is passed on. If it doesn't the funding is returned to those who gave it.
It individuals an opportunity to invest really cool ideas they love. It does carry risks of course. No crowdfunding site backs up the claims the projects are making, it's very buyer beware. That said, as far as has been documented, there have been many successful projects and few failures. To me, the bridge to get innovative projects that are directly funded by those who desire them is awesome and worth all the risk.
I could answer other questions at length on the topic need be.

Can someone explain to me what is crowdfunding? is it something like fundly.com, where you try to appeal to other users to donate money for your activity? thanks a bunch
I dont really understand what Crowdfunding is.
Hello everyone,
I wanted to share with everyone my efforts to crowdfund a documentary my company (www.filamentfeatures.com) is co-producing titled The Spark. http://www.TheSparkFilm.com
THE SPARK is a documentary about a genius technologist and a rebel educator, two pioneers from opposite spectrums with one goal in common: Build a sustainable open source future. Can two men driven by determination overcome global challenges to change the world? It is also a film that's sponsored by the International Documentary Association.
To me this project screamed Bitcoin, as we too want to bring an open source solution to change the world. I teamed up with BitcoinStarter.com to create a crowdfunding that can use bitcoin. I'm just reaching for 10% of the total goal in BTC, although hopefully this will be dwarfed.
https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/91
They even have a referral program. Just add your bitcoin wallet address to the end of this: https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/91?partner= and you will earn 1% of amounts donated by users you attract to {your bitcoin address} after projects they support get successully funded. - See more at: https://bitcoinstarter.com/partners#sthash.DN9eSkT4.dpuf
I'm open and encourage discussion and comments on this topic. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could promote this further throughout the bitcoin community? We only have 28 days to raise our target of BTC40+.
Thank you,
-Alan

BitcoinFunding has a few small projects listed, but apparently, none are 'popular' enough to have been listed under the 'Popular' category: https://bitcoinfunding.com/project/small_projects
I've seen three sites dedicated to BTC Crowdfunding, anyone have any experience with them? Any suggestions for crowdfunding with BTC?
The Two I've come across are:
https://bitcoinstarter.com/
http://www.BitcoinFunding.com
http://www.CoinFunder.com

I'm interested in this too.
BitCoinStarter.com seems to have the most projects, but haven't had any completed yet. Started in April I believe.
BitcoinFunding.com doesn't have any projects.
CoinFunder.com has 9 projects, one of which is raising funds for itself (so far at 4btc).
