I'm rapidly approaching the able-to-go-public event on my 5,000 year project, filing for the enabling patent!
At that point I'll post details here on FR for all to see, and especially for those who have expressed curiosity, but been unwilling to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. This will also free those who have signed and know about it from needing to continue to keep it confidential.
But that's not why I'm posting a plea for help today.
I want to have the fundraising vehicles in place when I file. I'M NOT ASKING YOU FOR MONEY!
If you have experience with Kickstarter, GoFundMe, Patreon or other crowd funding, I'd like input on your preferences, warnings for how avoid bad experiences, advice, tips or other insights.
There will also be a need for industry and academic sponsors. More about the project and why institutional investors might be interested when there is a 'patent pending' to attach to disclosures.
I think most FReepers will find it a worthy project, and more comments and such will be gratefully accepted at that time.

Click this link. Good luck dude. Hope to see you on TV soon.
you look younger for your a person of your age...
correction; you look younger than a person of your age...
damn small keyboard and big fingers got me... 😁
I sure don’t feel it.
“I have a patent pending on a device to make all of humblegunner’s posts friendly and enlightening.”
Sooooo, another 5,000 year project, right?
you don’t act like it either...
maybe you could give our current president a few tips...
Good luck!
Thanks.
I just went to update and prettify the last half dozen new drawings.
Panic city! My old but fully paid for expensive CAD program won’t open. Zero. Zip Nada.
That’s bad.
The good news is nothing else will open either, so it’s not the CAD program that’s the problem!!!
The bad news is it’s my copy of windoze 7 that is dead and corrupted. After several moves, I have no idea where the original disc is. It could be on the moon, or even less accessible, somewhere in the wilds of the garage...
I’ll figger something out, I think my CAD program will run on my old XP machine, assuming it still runs. The CAD program won’t run on anything newer than Win 7.
You’re against it!
You know full well I'm still interested. It's nice to learn that you're progressing. By the way, whenever I mention you to my wife, which happens occasionally, you're always "that guy on FR who wanted the NDA."
Are you Hari Seldon?
You have a prototype yet? Or is this more for a film project?
Luckily you have backups
What kind of a CAD program are you using?
I experienced the same thing after moving to Windows 10.
not exactly...
would post an image, but i need to charge my solar powered keyboard, and keyboard viewer doesn’t do html or capital letters
see above...

i have some proof of principle parts
In asking for a funding site, we are to assume this is something we would normally be able to afford and expect to buy, correct? It not something like a new pipeline technology or a different sort of tow truck, correct?
