Yes it is not about funding a start up for the funding sake. The start up must have shown some sort of proof, in form of working model, reveneau or other. A due dilligence must be done... But in general 3 of 5 start ups go bankrupt in the 5 first years, so startup a business is a hard world.
In general I would think that, if part of a games revenue went back to the community the community also would enjoy the game.
i hope you will atleast investigate these startups and ask for proof of work and that they want their projects to succeed.
too many times i have read people saying that they want to start up a business, they get funding, and they run off..
i would not say business startups need funding, as a $10 website and a coder that works in the evenings in his free time can start up a business. i would say that helping an existent start up that has a website and a service to prove their business plan can work, aswell as revealing their real life identity.. should be a good point at which funding is given to help expand/mainstream it.
basically, if they dont have a prototype dont fund them, if they want to be anonymous dont fund them, if they are running a ponzi/pyramid dont fund them, if all they have is an idea posted on a forum, an nothing else to back them up.... you guessed it, dont fund them.
bitcoin does not need regulation.. but we do need to have some "ethics checking" atleast. more of a moral code, than a regulation.
