Members THAT4301 Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 It's like that because they only charge you if it succeeds. So it's not as simple as just card details. Unless you want the guys sorting it out to pay hundreds of dollars to accept card payments themselves?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WeStartToDrift Posted March 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 TGP has finally infiltrated the kickstarter. 3 Backers came to the page directly from TGP. Also four from browsing Kickstarter, 1 from Tiny Chat (assuming this is a HCFX Chat-er), and 1 from Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WeStartToDrift Posted March 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 Oh yeah, I was just surprised that they came directly from TGP as opposed to this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Aristotle Posted March 20, 2012 Members Share Posted March 20, 2012 I think we should send one to the Library of Congress or Smithsonian so there is a historical record of how god damn awesome HCFX was in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members t_e_l_e Posted March 20, 2012 Members Share Posted March 20, 2012 how many pedals are you going to make? 57 backers already, this will be already a lot of soldering. still less than 200$ extra for the builders, which i think is kinda lame of the backers, in respect what amount of work is waiting for the builders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members macadood Posted March 20, 2012 Members Share Posted March 20, 2012 ^ i'll still contribute my share for the builders, im sure others will too. so far i've just paid the $60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one was $129 and the total cash in the account after all the orders were in was staggering. The cost for building the pedals and paying for the ridiculous pile of swag that came with them was maybe 40% of the fund. The rest went to charity and upkeep on the forum including a new server. Perhaps the organizers of this could have considered a wider scope for this build other than just the pedal. The pedal is largely irrelevant in a community-building effort. The other stuff involved is what makes these projects special Oh and BTWs I kickstarted like second or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get to 75 pedals we can afford to bring another builder online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
