I, DRAGON: Crowdfunding campaign by the late Juan Gimenez (METABARONS)

Hi, people! As you may or may not know, there was a great artist named Juan Gimenez that, among other things, co-created The Metabarons with Jodorowski. Sadly, Gimenez passed away due to COVID complications, and his latest project called "I, Dragon" has been unpublished in English ever since.

Now Alien Books is publishing this trilogy with the first book slated for July 2024, but we just launched a crowdfunding campaign at Backerkit with an exclusive crowdfunding cover (by the amazing Salvador Sanz), the regular book with art and cover by Gimenez, variant covers by Danny Earls and Martin Rodriguez Rio, prints, trading cards, and lots of Alien Books and Valiant books as add-ons, everything with a discount price.

Please, take a look at the project, support it if you like it, and let me know any questions or comments: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/alien-books/i-dragon-book-1-by-juan-gimenez-special-covers

Need Advice About Waggle

I set up a crowdfunding page for my cat (she has diabetes and needs ongoing care that's rather expensive), and I'm not sure that I set it up at the right place. I chose Waggle (<-- not gonna lie, that goes to her page) because it's for pets, but some of the questions they ask during set up are kind of odd. They wanted me to call my vet and ask for the administrators name and email address. I knew before I called that they weren't going to give me that info, but I called anyway. I gave them the info that the receptionist gave me. My cat's campaign was approved, but I feel like I should have went through GoFundMe, because it's better known. But Waggle, if I read things correctly, sends the money straight to the vet. But they also limit you to how much money you can raise.

So what I'm asking is, did I make a mistake in choosing Waggle? Should I have went through GoFundMe? Thoughts? Opinions?

Help

Hi guys. I had a talk with my doctor and I have almost a 100% chance that my neck mass is cancerous. We already know what they all say it's a blessing that's it's only thyroid cancer. It's highly curable but for someone who is a breadwinner like me with no savings as all my salary goes to our bills this is not a blessing. I can't save for the operation as nothing is left every time I receive my salary and god if I ever get enough fund for the operation what happens after? I can't work after operation hence I won't have salary but the bills won't stop. I keep on trying to find additional work but I keep on getting rejected. I don't know what to do anymore. I show everyone that I'm okay but in reality, I don't know what to do I'm panicking that my sickness will spread. I'm lost, I'm broke. Being a breadwinner and broke s*cks especially when you're sick.

I'm not sure if this is the right avenue to post this but I'm kind of desperate. I can't let my sickness beat me as I have my family who relies on me still. I need to stay strong for them especially as my parents are sick too and they need their medication. I would appreciate any help prayers, job offers, monetary and even if you just want to talk. I honestly don't have anyone I can share how I feel about this as I have to stay strong for them. I have to show them that this sickness is nothing and I am not struggling but in reality I am. It's so hard and there are times where it is so painful.

Hey guys, how do you fulfill your orders after your campaign succeeds? Do you use a 3PL like Nextsmartship or have your in-house fulfillment system?

When does a crowdfunded project become commercial?

Hello everyone,

I am a Games Design student at university and over the summer a sizable group of us would like to create a vertical slice of a game with which we can post a crowdfunding campaign with the aim of obtaining commercial licenses for software and therefore make a sellable game which we can release on steam.

The question though is if we choose to make the initial vertical slice using student licensed software (not for commercial use), are we able to use this non-commercial project to gain funding in the aim of using that money to get the commercial licenses required to make a game that we can sell.

On one hand we will be receiving money from the "idea" of the game however we will not be selling it or even giving access to people to the project until it has been created through commercial licenses.

However on the other hand, we will be getting money (for development costs) from displaying something created using non-commercial licenses.

I am a little stumped here as there is no set definition for what classes as a commercial project in relation to games and crowdfunding.

Does anybody have any experience or knowledge in this area?

Any new crypto crowdfunding platforms?

Hey frens,

I'm thinking about launching a docufilm on the future of Web 3.0 and Bitcoin, and I need your support to make it happen!
Since I'm based in Argentina, BuyMeACoffee and Kickstarter aren't options for me. Can anyone recommend some good crowdfunding platforms that work here? It may have to be crypto crowdfunding for it to work based on my location.

Thanks!

Desperate Plea for Help - Needing Support for GoFundMe Campaign

Hi Reddit Community,

I hope this message finds you all well. I am reaching out to you all in a moment of desperation and sincere need for assistance. As a single mom facing financial struggles, I find myself in a tough situation where I have no one to turn to for help.

Recently, my grandmas underwent eye surgery, leaving me unemployed as I care for my son. The situation is dire as my main support, who we depended on, is currently far away and in a significant amount of debt, unable to assist us.

I have set up a GoFundMe campaign to help me through this challenging time. Any contribution, no matter how small, would make a world of difference to us. I understand that times are tough for everyone, and I genuinely appreciate any support you can offer.

I want to assure you that once I am back on my feet and working again, I fully intend to pay forward any donations received to help others in need. Your generosity will not go unnoticed, and I will be forever grateful for your kindness and assistance.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message. If you can help in any way or share my GoFundMe campaign, it would mean the world to me and my son.

Once in a Lifetime Trip to Spain. Well deserved by a student who has a 5.0 GPA as a sophomore in high school. The HS was one in many that had gun violence resulting in death of a victim that is now considered a hero.

Card issue

I pledged $64 for “Ink and Enamel” during Backerkit’s Pintopia, but I ran out of money on that card (had some unexpected events) and it only could charge me $12. Is there a way to pay the rest now that I’ve gotten some more in my account? I didn’t see anything to do it with. Thanks for any responses

Market research for university project - Time funding

Would you use a crowdfunding service where, instead of boosting your project with money you would receive professionals' time availability? Example: ABC sees the project of BCD on the platform and decides to donate 8h of his time as SW Dev to help the project and get paid afterwards.
