Cause this project needs a lot more than we already spent. You never can start something wirthout any investrment. In this case there were a lot of tasks to take care of, until you know for sure if the project will work.

I definitely would'nt call the money people give us "peanuts". We appriciate any support and trust we get. The sense of crowdfinfing ist to put a lot of smaller amounts together to create a huge power able to build up big projects.
