Most Kickstarter's success stories rely on the fact that people who donate money receive something in return, for example if the project is a video-game, they will receive the game once it's finished. I don't see what OpenCog could promise to its backers. That said, fundraising is indeed a worthy option to look at, which Ben Goertzel is well aware of. Seeing how fast things have evolved in the last years concerning fundraising platforms, it may be interesting to check what is being done today. Here are some websites I know of:
- www.microryza.com (for scientific projects) - www.razoo.com - www.fundly.com - www.startsomegood.com - www.firstgiving.com - www.crowdrise.com - www.gofundme.com - www.stayclassy.org Do some people have experience with any of this? ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
