(since kickstarter's politics had been changed indeed, that's why potato salad became possible at kickstarter)
what about Monero @ kickstarter?
Work is progressing quite rapidly on a funding system where everyone will be able to fund specific features / tasks. The main reason for donations at present is to enable us and some of the other devs to allocate much larger blocks of time to Monero on an ongoing basis until that system is ready to go:)
I consider kickstarter not as donate source, but as PR's one. Very strong source, see 'salad' link mentioned above - you can google it and discover ***explosive*** WWW effect for FREE.
How many time did Salad Man spend to post kickstarter request? Compare it with much more time you spend to develop your funding system.
Compare audience involved!
Note, FUNDAMENTAL & open source anonymity is the trend novadays. Only you as dev team leader can initiate Monero's kickstarter PR company. Just think about...
