Ask HN: What do you think of starting a crowdfunding platform by crowdfunding?
Not my idea, instead it belongs to an acquaintance. In theory it sounds good: a crowdfunding platform to finance poorer people's travels. The guy explains it but gives little detail on his donation page: http://www.kapipal.com/wegetthere
I even suggested the use of Kickstarter, but over there the starter of the funding campaign must have a US address, US bank account, etc.
However, I think that Kickstarter can actually revert fraud attempts, while Kapipal says it's not their responsibility.
Not trying to get you to donate, I'm just curious if you think what he's doing is okay or not. I'm thinking of asking the same question or Reddit.
