You guys are really running with this $25k thing. Read it again - he basically says that he was trying to raise $25k but has pretty much given up on it. He's not soliciting for new money (but IF it were really as simple as only needing $25k now, which I strongly doubt, then soliciting for money may have made sense.. a long time ago) He probably just wants to show some meager evidence that he was trying to do something to salvage the project. Who knows what he actually did. Anything was probably too little, too late.
I just want to make it clear, when I talked about the possibility of funding this did not have anything to do with giving Craig money. Or buying off anything he used the money for. It'd still be on him to try to put together what money he had, including selling what he can, to give whatever refund he could. In no way am I interested in nor suggesting anyone take up his debts or responsibilities. What I could potentially be interested in is getting MWeston and others onboard to contribute their design work towards an otherwise separate project, one actually managed competently. And possibly funding design to completion IF I had any belief that another KS could be successful. I don't care about making a profit, but it's no good if too few of the backers would want to do it again. IF Craig demands some amount of money to relinquish rights to whatever he has rights over then I'd only consider it if that payment can be satisfied by being giving it directly to his backers and relieving some of his debt, there's no way I'd directly give him money for anything.
Free apps still need money to be created. Where did Craig get the money from? He will make more money with in-app ads. People have been making accounts and notifying members of the Nissan Leaf forum he is pitching the new app on. He doesn't want the bad publicity.
No actually, apps don't take money to be created if you feel like creating them, a lot of the software in the world is written this way. Or maybe you want to audit where he got the $25 for setting up an Android developer account?
Guess what, a lot of apps also don't have ads, until you see his does you have no basis to assume it. And even if it does, so what?
Really, constantly trying to smear Craig and Link by posting irrelevant information about them is not actually helping your cause. People have been making accounts to flame him on a board that couldn't care less about iCP2, you seriously wonder why he'd want those people banned? I'd want someone banned too if they joined a forum just to disrupt it by calling me out. It's not productive unless your only goal is to inflict revenge.
