While the Flipstarter was ultimately unsuccessful in reaching only 125BCH of its 200BCH target, I want to thank everyone who pledged.
There really are two parts when you make a
Flipstarter pledge - there's the cash value and there's the moral support. For different projects, these two parts will have different relative values, but for me, the moral support
is a really big component of it. 'Attaboys are all well and good, but knowing that people I respect and admire in the Bitcoin Cash community were prepared to put their own money up to
see the project turbo-charged was and remains enormously encouraging.
So while the project won't get the the boost I had hoped for, knowing that others in the community value the
project and want to see it suceed has given me me additional motivation to continue.
There was a brief temptation to complete the Flipstarter from borrowed funds, but I decided
against that on the grounds that it goes against the spirit of Flipstarter. Pledgers have an expectation that their funds are contributed only if others in the community match those
pledges, so the pledges are all released now. If you'd still like your pledged funds to support member.cash, you can send the BCH directly to bitcoincash:qqlx98vrupdm9gmnenwpcgy2yv4hf
zktwv6raa4n3g (message me with a note for the MEMBER recognition token). I will continue on the terms outlined in the Flipstarter from whatever funds are made available.
With thanks
