I'm not sure how this is done, but on kickstarter and indiegogo, I'm pretty sure you just submit any batshit crazy project you want and as long as it's not illegal it's automatically accepted. That, and as a mobile developer, an HTML5 *all browser* automated updating site doesn't cost $5,000. This just doesn't look right.

I agree $5,000 to make a basic app.  It sounds like there just trying to bounce some money off bitcoins popularity.  I'm always backing things on Kickstarter for a dollar here and there but I don't like what this app is offering.  A simple bookmark would be of as much use.  If it was for a wallet or something useful I'd throw it a dollar.

Whoops--I forgot to mention this before, as it hadn't crossed my mind.

Apple doesn't like anything to do with Bitcoin apparently.  So I hope you didn't plan on doing anything that PayPal currently does, or it's likely to be rejected.  Sad  They've already pulled a few iOS apps related to Bitcoin.

To true but not that I like or use Apple products but it is a big market share.

does not work like that at Kickstarter... they go though a whole process.  hence why almost all bitcoin kickstarters were denied prior.

It will cost me that much...    I need to most likely have some people help me (and that costs money)  though I will be building it myself,  I built for Android Mobile, HTML5 webapps but this needs more...  plus I will need to scale up the infrastructure as well (better servers, ect) in reality that most likely will be where a big part of the money is going.

I really hope the community supports this...  it will pave the way for everyone....   overall increasing the value of Bitcoins themselves as now they can be funded via traditional means as well...

Mhmm it's a very very easy app. Nothing big.

But $5,750 goal?
Such an iOS-App cost just around $100.

I'm only trying to help Smiley.  If it gets picked up by other mainstream media, we don't want to look like unprofessional bunch (not implying anything Smiley).

I like the concept, but it needs over $5k to develop?

Thanks for fixing the apostrophe issue. More importantly, BIG GRATS!!!  Also, many thanks from the rest of us. This is an important step in establishing Bitcoin as a means of exchange.

EDIT:  This is a record,  most likely (after you read this thread)  you'll see that I had the world's first Bitcoin Kickstarter project approved, and most likely I will be deleting it tommrow (after I sleep on it to make sure).

My vision was that one day Kickstarter would be a viable option for developers to make innovative bitcoin projects.   However my vision wasn't shared by the bitcoin community (at least the ones in this thread).

Unless someone can convince me otherwise I think there is a 90% chance it's going to get deleted.

Thanks for your contributions (time and criticisms)

======

Kickstarter has approved its first Bitcoin Project

This is big deal people, bigger than just the value of this project.

If this is successful, I believe it will be a first for the Bitcoin Community. It also will help pave the way for other Bitcoin innovations to be funded though Kickstarter.
