Idk I feel like the people who back things on kickstarter have their expectations set way too high (and obviously the people running it are naive and play into that) but good lord you guys funded $70k for an oscilloscope and you’re upset it takes a decade? You are astoundingly lucky this even came out, and it only did because the guy that ran it has a heart of gold.
People really need to start to understand what it takes to bring a product to market before they start backing kickstarters
Yeah that dude probably could have ran with the money everyone forgot about. Amazing that he kept going tbh.
It's 70k, it's not going to get him a private jet he can fly to belize, it's half a year of engineering salary, probably less.
1 person files a complaint and he's done for life.
I'd take 70k once please thx.
U act like he'd be unable to find a job if he walked away with the cash. Lol
Alternatively people should stop looking at Kickstarting as buying or investing in a product. It's closer to a donation to help someone try and realize their idea. You support cool idea you think should exist and that should by your primary motivation. Getting something out of it is just added bonus.
