You feel there are there are enough crowd-sourced hardware startup failures to warrant any action? I know the interest from this site is primarily tech products but it seems to have grown in proportion to the site which is still heavily arts/crafts saturated. I don't believe the sample size is really close to large enough to be come to the conclusion that that vaporware is as big a issue as the article claims. Providing failsafes for investors ruins the unique accessibility that Kickstartr provides for aspiring project managers.

Of course people want to see their projects realized but I believe that far more good will come from disappointing projects. The horror stories will serve to remind people that these are still investments and as such: it would be best to consider funding these projects with non-profit-esque expectations rather than some hipster product marketplace.
