I sent them this email. It would be really cool if you guys could add bitcoin as a funding option. They replied. Thanks for writing in and sharing this idea with us! Although bitcoin payments are not currently available on Kickstarter, your feedback is an important part of how we decide which features to add. I'll pass it along to the rest of the team.
Thank you for taking the time to help make Kickstarter better,
Megan What do you think? |

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Megan What do you think? Would be sweet if they did. I have an idea I'd like to potentially get funded with Bitcoin. Are there any other crowd-sourcing sites that already accept BTC? |

Certainly would be great, It would be a good market fit too with so many early adopters using both bitcoin and funding kickstarter projects.

I would be very surprised would they not.
When this would happen I do not know, but do expect Amazon and Ebay to already be looking at the options. When either of these sites officially declares their backing, the coins value will explode.

If you were to get that email address and copy and paste it here for us to email them with then we could probably make it happen faster.

I recall one bitcoin kickstarter, but it hasn't received very many offers, yet.
Perhaps if someone proposed a Bitcoin kickstarter project to build a new online exchange that took on the new altcoins, or some such thing. Perhaps the altcoiners might throw a few BTC in for that.
|
I would like to work on development of a polymorphic altcoin that maintains a stable value and is more resistant to fraud.

I doubt Kickstarter would accept Bitcoin. What if a project fail or turned out to be a scam? How do people get their bitcoins back?

I think 2014 is going to be a good year in Bitcoin adaptation. A lot of big names have potential to add it into their systems. I think once enough people are using btc and businesses get bugged about accepting it frequently they will feel confident in its legitmacy.

Agreed I have heard good things about altcoins I heard that new ones will be coming up that change the entire bitcoin game while adding new support to bitcoin instead of hidding away inside of bitcoin |

I think Kickstarter would add BTC as a payment option. Little things like these will greatly increase BTC popularity!!  |

We really need to at least send like 5 emails though they are more likely to do it if we all ask instead of just one person... Why don't we turn this thread into the first bitcoin email force We can make threads about getting different websites to accept bitcoin and we can PM each other the links of the threads so that we can come support each other We can be the "Kickstarters"  |
