If they don't deliver hopefully it will just open up new ways of vetting projects that raise six-figures or more.

If they do deliver will that finally be enough to silence the crowdfunding naysayers?



How do we vet them, beyond "is a scam"?

There are plenty of well-meaning people who want to do a lot, but are incredibly poorly positioned to do it. Or do we want to limit crowdfunding to near slam-dunk ideas?

I think it's a problem that Kickstarter has brought out a lot of very, very green entrepreneurs with little experience actually shipping product. But what can we do about it without throwing the baby out also?
