I am off to Worldcon in the morning! Online-ness will be reduced for the next week. I’ll still be in contact — just not sitting in front of a computer all day and all night.

If you are in-person there, you may see me. I will wearing the green hyperspace jacket (and black N95). I’ll be on a couple of IF/indie-games panels, and otherwise just wandering quietly around. You can say hi.
I know it's out of nowhere but I read your 2024 blog post about the kickstarter crypto thing and I thank you beacuse it's something I wanted some information about it. Thanks. (First Knife comic in september) I deleted my account back then and wanted to check if it was safe to go back.
You're welcome! I think that post (March 2024) is the last news I've heard about Kickstarter. Hunting around, they changed more stuff in May and then fired most of their execs in June. (Everette Taylor is still CEO.) No obvious moves since then.
I feel like it's "safe", in that nobody has said "blockchain" since 2022. They even managed to post a "2025 product roadmap" without mentioning AI at all. I don't really have a sense of how people view them any more. Probably just as one of several crowdfunding platforms, competing on ease-of-use.
Hoping our paths may cross again!
Indeed!
