Yes that is absolutely true and an advantage over btc mixers would be that the mixer logs would be useless since the mixer itself wouldn't know where the coins came from. With a coinjoin-style mixer the mixer wouldn't even need to know where the coins are going either. With the former you still have the usual issue of the mixer stealing your coins and with the latter you have a simultaneity requirement and timing attacks (as with regular coinjoin). The denominations naturally used in Monero would help with some of the other coinjoin weaknesses (relationships between inputs and output values).

This would provide protection against the threat that someday the "crypto is cracked" and anonymity broken. But then again in the normal course of transactions through merchants, p2p transactions, loans, gambling, etc. there is a lot of natural mixing too.

You can easily add off-chain mixing to a coin that provides on-chain mixing but you can't easily do the opposite.

EDIT: I guess you could pre-derive a one-time destination address even with a receive-and-send mixer, which would remove the recipient address from the mixer's logs too. Currently there is no tooling to send to a precomputed one-time address but I don't see a reason why it couldn't work. Also, I guess there are some issues with r being per-tx not per-output, although I suppose that could be changed to enable this, at the cost of some added space.

Well, I got excited about checking out kickstarter, but they don't allow projects for "cash equivalent" things... they used some other word than things. I forget.

I made a short animation of the Monero logo in 3D and I just uploaded it to Youtube.

Nothing spectacular, but I made the logo in Solidworks and I am just a beginning student, so it isn't too bad, considering.

Sir, he's referred to as noodle in my parts!

Yes

Well I made about 25 XMR off that site in a quick 10 days. Then my Spidey senses kicked in and said get the F$#@ out. 
Listening to my gut instinct rarely fails me.  Well karma is a bitch and they will get what's coming to them.  Feel for anyone that lost XMR or other coins.

Something like this becomes more feasible with the increasing Monero price.

I agree with the crowdfunding model. I'd add that kickstarter can provide a lot more exposure than just using an escrow but that also requires promoting the campaign to get much value from it.

Hopefully somebody will look into it. Pure speculation here but I wonder if that means you can't give people cash equivalents as a reward. But maybe the project funding with no rewards or different rewards could still happen there (or as you say another crowdfunding site with good visibility).
