Good morning ! ... I fall into this somewhere @ the middle; but I lean towards 'an investment' and I'm less about needing to control that $dollar (whatever the amount) in terms of micro management or pounding on someone's door expecting detailed accountability. On the other hand I don't want to be scammed any more than someone else! My expectation is that people on KS will tell the truth, have honest objectives, and attempt to deliver on their promises. If I were to be critical the most I might say is that some KS projects have had some glitches... but, for the most part and I do include the PineA64 here, things are working fairly well, actually.
So, for me, if I send you the buck I am expecting a return on investment but I'm not looking at the return or accountability the same as I would from an order to MCM Element14, forinstance. I really want to help the KS project get off the ground and if there's a good return, then great ! If there are glitches, I tend to be very understanding 'n so on...
