"Lol my idea with the water and pump was something I figured could work."

I'm in hysterics that you started a funding campaign asking for $450K knowing NOTHING about what you're doing.

Despite $450K being about a 1/3 of what you'd need.
I see no problem with this when there are Kickstarters like this around:

I'm making potato salad.

Basically I'm just making potato salad. I haven't decided what kind yet.

Reminds me of the first one of these back in 2004 - 2 guys ran a donation site for "we want jetskis"
They got a fair amount of the way there iirc.

Currently, this surface needs to be a non-ferromagnetic conductor.  Right now we use commonly available metals in a simple sheets, but we are working on new compounds and new configurations to maximize our technology and minimize costs.

So all you need, aside from your $300 to $10,000 investment all you need is hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of copper or aluminium, why not gold?

It's getting to the point where I want to launch a scam idea on kickstarter before the service implodes.

Not even a scam. It does exactly what it said it will.
It's just a fucking shit idea with poor development.

This is what INVESTMENT is all about. Gambles. Only with the idiocy of crowds... well you get idiocy.
As said before in this thread, this is a convenient way for someone to bypass proof of concept, investment funding (which involves prooving viability to an experienced outside party, substantial & proven progress reports, etc.) It's not a scam until they run off with the money never to be seen or heard of again, and it turns out all the investment propaganda was all falsified.

I saw this on YouTube. Apparently it got its funding in only an hour. Also: Shadowrun is one of the few RPG universes which seems worth living in

Yes.. I'm a fan of Cyberpunk stuff in general, I like the Shadowrun universe, I really enjoyed ShadowRun Returns and expect to enjoy Dragonfall when I get around to playing it, so kickstarting this was a no brainer.

$20 to ship to NZ is pretty steep. Maybe if someone else wanted a deck we could split up the postage.
