Since then I've had some positive and (thankfully not too much) negative feedback which has been awesomely useful in shaping my vision and subsequent Kickstarter campaign (which is in it's last 10 days).

We've run Kickstarter Fails looking at those using Kickstarter to raise money that don't always… work out. But of late, there have been more from bidders who are scammers.
