Kickstarter's reply upon asking them to reverse course on blockchain poo poo:

quote:

Hi there,

Thank you for writing in. We appreciate your feedback and understand your concern.

First, we’d like to be clear at the outset that as a user, the Kickstarter experience you’re familiar with will stay the same. Backers can continue to use normal credit / debit cards to pledge to campaigns and creators will continue to receive fiat currency (aka dollars, euros, pounds, etc.) to fulfill their projects. As a Kickstarter user, you won’t “see” the protocol, but you will benefit from its improvements.

We believe that in the coming years, large swaths of the internet will be reconstructed from the ground up by open and decentralized networks of contributors, who participate in the design, operation, governance and even ownership of the technology themselves. We believe that helping build the infrastructure and tools that help bring creative projects to life is an important and exciting way for us to serve our mission, to help bring creative projects to life.

Blockchain technology is a powerful tool to create and align decentralized and distributed networks of people.

We think bringing all that we’ve learned about crowdfunding since 2009 to inform the development of a decentralized protocol will open up exciting new opportunities for creative projects to come to life. In the coming weeks, a white paper will be released outlining the technology and plans for the protocol.

If you have not read it already, you can find more information about our announcement and what this means for our community (and to sign up to learn more as plans develop), at kickstarter.com/protocol.

Our goal – and the mission of Kickstarter as a whole – is to support creative projects and creative people like you. If you have additional feedback on how we can best support you here, please let us know. We will be sharing your concerns with the rest of the team here.

We value your participation in our community. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.

Best,
Kickstarter Support

oh yes the entire Internet will be restructured on a distributed ledger, sure

Interviewer:
It’s one thing if you’re Steve Ballmer, but I think that it’s just a term that if I mention it, a lot of people are going to think: this game is really dystopian. And I’m wondering if that’s a fair read of it or if that’s not the way that you mean for it to be interpreted.

Molyneux:
I want to give you the absolute ability to make the perfect town, to make sure all the workers are completely happy, that they’ve got, you know, cafes and cinemas and schools. All of this happens within the game, you know, people get married and they have kids and they need to go to school. I want you to have the power to do that.

But I want you to also realize that with that power, there are consequences to that. Your business may not be as successful as my business. Because it’s a simulation, I can approach this in a completely different way. I can say, “No, I don’t want to build cafes and cinemas. I want to build another factory.” There’s a full pollution simulation in the game, so if you build lots of factories close together, you’ll notice all the trees around it will start withdrawing, that more workers will have really bad coughs. There’s a whole range and that’s what’s so fascinating.
