When you get the confirmation email there is a period at the end of the confirmation link nullifying the link.

Can you please PM me the text?

That should be fixed now.

Done.

And the link "Upload photo" in the "My account" section is twice the actual button's length. It doesn't seem to work in Chrome either.

Edit: Actually it just takes a while to open for some reason.

Also, the 5% fee is really steep.

Not really.  It's the same amount kickstarter charges for their service.  No signup fees or paypal tax.  You pay for the service and our ability to manage support and grow the user base.  The fee will be reduced for a time period when the site is actually launched.

I'd remove the little facebook box about the fundraising script.

I also created a project, I don't know if it went through... Might be nice if there was a pending project list.

Thanks,

I feel like you shouldn't resize photos. Just scale them to fit the box.

In the spirit of beta/user testing... please for the love of all that is normal and legible in the universe... change the color scheme on the T&C page. Seriously, I think 12 Japanese kids just went into epileptic seizures looking at that graphic disaster.

Light orange text, set on a medium blue background with black hashing lines through it? That is just so wrong on so many levels. Please, please, please find a new scheme or revise this one massively. It does not go with the rest of the site, which is clean and mostly legible, it hurts the eyes, and is so hard to read that you would never be able to enforce the T&C because nobody, but nobody will ever be able to read the damn things.

And don't ever, ever use that combination again. Ever.

Updates: Fixed the terms page, removed FB login (no intention to use this at this time), and forced the site to load in SSL.

OK first off the text describing what the fund could be used for is way too small, also this is BTC funding why are you using dollars, come on! ALSOOOOOOOOO THIS IS WHAT MAKES ME MAD, IF I WANT TO DONATE TO A FUND WHY MUST I SIGN UP, I SHOULD GET A UNQUIE BITCOIN ADDRESS TO DONATE TOO AND BE DONE, I DON"T WANT TO SIGN UP, BITCOIN IS ANONYMOUS THIS IS KILLING THAT VALUE!

I am sorry but I think you have been misinformed that bitcoin is anonymous.  I explored that model of straight donation fundraising prior to designing the service and I do not believe it is in the best interests of the content creators and angels donating to a cause.  You are happy to disagree with me but I base my business model on Kickstarter due to the huge success they have had.

I would like to have people try depositing small amounts of btc and give to a project.  Please let me know how your experience goes, now that we have fixed these initial requests I am confidant in launching the site for real soon.

Thanks!

I have not been misinformed it is more anonymous then a twitter login or creating a user account that is linked to a bitcoin address. Also it is so sad that all you did was take existing site, clone it (Not even designed that great), and just add bitcoins to the name and currency. You didn't even look at the flaws or how to make the idea better that is truly sad. This could have been a great idea but again it is a failure clone, that doesn't look at the core values of what make bitcoins a great system, and ignores them, just to be a greedy.

I'm sorry but I do not understand what your problem is.  Have you tested the site?  Does everything work as expected? If not I would like to hear about it, if you don't want to help that's fine too. Thanks!

How can I test it if I don't want to create an account and don't have a twitter to login? That is beautiful thing about bitcoins all you need is a deposit address and your money is there, no one knows who you are, but your clearly didn't explore that side of the process. You just throw a site together, and you legit threw it together cause you did no security checks

That's fine, you don't have to.
