The beta version of the app, which developer Mike Hearn described as a specialized wallet for decentralized crowdfunding, is now publicly available for download.

The release follows months of development, which included an investment from noted bitcoin entrepreneur Olivier Janssens.

The app is designed to function as a streamlined tool for using smart contracts to commit pledges to particular projects, which can range from bitcoin development initiatives to charity drives. Currently, the only project available for Lighthouse is a 3.5 BTC fundraiser for Medic Mobile.

Have not tried it yet myself but have read a few threads on it
Who knows may become as big as kickstarter in a few years
Or someone else decides to make a better big bag crowdfunding site that said its a bump for Bitcoin nonetheless.
