But then you don't know who's going to invest how much and how much hardware that buys. Then it becomes too risky to reinvest at all. Knowing upfront how much reinvestment we'll have is key to success?
I dont understand how this is so hard for almost all of you. Investing is the exact same thing as reinvesting, all that differs is the source of the funds, and the choice you no longer have.
Doesn't the lack of choice make it more predictable? If I knew it would be a good investment if they'd at least raise some amount X (to get a good deal with the supplier, hosting, etc.), but cannot know if they're able to hit that target, I'm more inclined to stay away? Potentially killing a good investment opportunity?
You must admit, so far it worked. I don't think the project will survive any kind of difficulty increase, but so far so good?
