| No problem. The whole creators/bonders/backers thing is interesting. It feels like it adds a layer of extra cost to the content. So a content creator is paying a kickback to the bonders - it's like paying a commission. Why should the creator pay a bonder anything, what have they done? Are they doing favors for the creator or the backers? Would it be in a backer's interest to also become a bonder? Why does there need to be an extra bonder entity? Maybe the creator should just pay a listing fee that is reimbursed if fully funded, otherwise it is distributed to backers in a funding-fail? Bonding is also like a prediction bet - "I bet this piece gets fully funded / I bet it doesn't." That's all they're doing, right, or would bonders be like a record company who would fund and endorse some type of content, so it's like a stamp of approval or provide expectation/goodwill to a piece pre-release? Why not just have a standard group-funding model, and then run prediction betting alongside it separately? Anyway, I was thinking - what would be the most valuable piece of information to back, while also being the most minimal? A password? What's behind the password? How about a new album to download from a webpage with HTTP Basic Authentication? How about backers who want some information to NOT be released before a deadline? That could be pretty funny, or would it be like blackmail? It's like Pieces is where you go once you've got the NOC list. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/v8P1T1pgOjU Some people want the information released, some people want the information suppressed.. who wins? Is it really the NOC list or a fake? WikiStopLeaks / SpyNation. Make sure that hard drive is in a secret location and fully purged! |
