have you thought of supporting a bitcoin based crowdfunding platform rather than focusing on USD? like bitstarter?

Indiegogo's infrastructure makes them the right choice to go to to start your crowd funding endeavors. You learn many of the skills necessary to conduct an effective campaign anywhere. Don't forget there's nothing stopping you from doing multiple campaigns at the same time, one after the other, or repeating (relaunching) campaigns.

Just about everyone things CF is simple and easy like winning a lottery, however it is extremely difficult and not assured even if you do everything right. It's extremely hard work that will knock you out.

We at EMC2 plan on using CF as a major resource for funding our science research grant awards, we will use bitcoinstarter and all other effective CF platforms. Currently we have our first project running on indiegogo, its doing pretty good. We have tons of cryptocurrency community support, not just from our coin but from many other coins as well.

Our campaign received USD, EMC2, HYPER, and Doge, and also got pledges from 5 other coins -- we are in our 4 day of the campaign.

To me it's about engagement from connected communities.
