Paying the wage for a real developer would not be possible with donations, it is around 25$ per hour (even reading the documantion). People like notaz, exo and the others are working for fun and in their spare time here and maybe some of them get a small thank you (50$ or something) from a competition. I am very happy we have this guys. Thank you and big respect  

 .
A dev fund however is good thing, to get something specific done like one port of a special software or maybe "fixing wifi driver". But it should be considered, that most of the software work, is done without payment which is very nice of the coders.
An other thing: 
Kickstarter is great way to advertise things. A lot of companys start a kickstarter not (only) to make money but do marketing like they are using facebook. If someone want something they will send it to their friends, so it get funded. 
Maybe do it this way, and sell some rebirth units^^:
