you may have noticed several times we have said we are asking for no money from anyone. not for orders or deposits, until there is a prototype to demo.
That's the proper way to approach this.
All we have said is if people want to show us their support before then we will not say no and arguably this is no different to a donation which many people ask for.
And this is where you lose all credibility.
I call bullshit. This is a scam.
