Tell us what it is!

Forgot to ask... is a part of your discussion with them whether they'll accept BTC funding for the project?

Good luck whatever it is that you do!

I won't fuck up   .. at least I hope not.

The concept is simple,  because there is already a working product.

I already have the webapp for ounce.me
I already have the android app for ounce.me

I need an iOS app for ounce.me

That's it ,  already at 20,000 views per day...  so there is already a working product,  just needed it ported to iOS.

I limited the scope of the project so they approve it...  I just need to prove to them that a bitcoin related project will work for them..  they are viewing it as a litmus test for bitcoin.. literally.

I'm trying...  I wanted to use bitcoinstarter.com but I need Kickstarter to accept bitcoins as a valid outlet for venture capital.    The idea is to open up a whole new door for people in the community to back bitcoin projects using established players...

If it doesn't work out,  I'll go directly to bitcoinstarter,  I promise.

Armory was funded using another site called rockethub.  To date kickstarter has been rather anti-Bitcoin.  IIRC a couple projects were blanked rejected simply by having the word Bitcoin in the project.  We aren't talking any long detailed analysis more like a 5 minute (oops Bitcoin - Rejected).  For whatever reason (ignorance, snap judgements, personal bias of founders, fear of legal uncertainy, etc) until now kickstarter has been pretty much bitcoin hostile. If the OP can break open kickstarter anti-Bitcoin policy (defacto or otherwise) that is huge.

To OP please keep the project as realistic as possible and if you need help from the community ask for it.  A good project launch could open a lot of doors, maybe even a partnership between kickstarter and a payment processor like bitpay to allow Bitcoin funding.  I mean honestly it seems silly that hasn't ALREADY happened "crowdfunding" = decentralized capital.  Bitcoin = decentralized currency.  Pretty much a no-brainer.

Awesome to hear! Good luck!

That would be great. I have help fund quite a number of Kickstarter projects over the past couple of years and would love to see them start accepting Bitcoin. I will let them know too.
