To clear up any misconceptions and as a final post, Columbia Basin Mining started this thread only to gauge interest in a potential crowdfunding campaign that would be done through the well-known crowdfunding platform of Indiegogo. Our campaign has not yet been approved through Indiegogo and would only go forward if approved by Indiegogo. Part of the process Indiegogo goes through is to make sure that campaigns are not violating any SEC rules, which we are dedicated to following and the reason we chose Indiegogo as a known platform.

As most of you will understand, platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo are platforms for start-ups to raise funds in exchange for perks. Those perks are normally product offered as a perk at a reduced price. In our potential campaign, that perk happens to be a Bitcoin Paper Wallet at different amounts of Bitcoin at 25%-45% of face value. Kickstarter and Indiegogo have lots of information related to crowdfunding on their websites and you are free to read up about the crowdfunding rules. Crowdfunding does not violate SEC rules.  

We are appreciative of the legitimate inquiries made and we hope that our explanations were helpful. We realize that many people have perpetrated scams on the Bitcoin community. We are mindful of the skepticism and would not ask anyone to do anything they didn't feel comfortable doing when and if our campaign moves forward. We are closing the thread at this time to focus on getting approval from Indiegogo for our potential campaign.
