If you are unable to get into The Low Tech Laboratory Movie Kickstarter Support Forum...

This is a place for folks who are having trouble accessing the Kickstarter Support Forum to ask questions, watch permies magic tricks happen, and in most cases, witness the world becoming a better, shinier place before their very eyes.

In 97.3% of cases, all problems are resolved when you add your kickstarter email address as a secondary email address in you permies account.  

Like this:

get your kickstarter email address from your kickstarter settings:







then add your kickstarter email address as a secondary email address for your permies account:









If that works for you, great!  If it doesn't or if you are the 2.7% who have some other challenge, leave a comment below and we'll get you sorted.

I used an Apple ID to create my Kickstarter account with the hide my email function. I am forwarded all my emails to my primary account. I have tried to change it or add the Apply ID spoof account to Permies without success. I can provide you with screenshots of my Kickstarter account to prove I am a backer.

So, of course, I had to replace my debit card between the time if pledging and collection of Kickstarter funds. That got sorted with Kickstarter 5 days ago, when they collected my monies. My Kickstarter email is still listed as secondary in my profile. I can't access the secret forum yet.

Maybe they've not yet updated the Empire?

Hi Mark, thanks for bringing this up - it seems to be a quirk of using the Apple ID service for Kickstarter :)  If you can post over in this thread, then a steward should be able to sort you out: https://permies.com/t/178166/permies-kickstarter-apple-fancy-security
If you have a backer id number or anything like that, that would also be helpful to mention in the post.

Great that you've sorted out your payment info with Kickstarter Yes, you are right though, they've yet to update us with a revised list of confirmed paid backers. Once we get that through, we can give access to all who are eligible.

Hi, everyone.
I have been reading and enjoying premies for a few months now. I am learning lots and want to know a lot more. Thank you to all for sharing your knowledge, experiences, and most of all the excitement.
I am planning for a visit to the farm next year, armed with questions and seeking out experiences, and the people.

I am having issues accessing the kickstart goodies.
Tried adding my kickstart email as a secondaire email, but got message its being used by somebody else.

It may be that I have  set up 2 different accounts in the premies world. And hope somebody guide me to my kickstart goodies.

Yes, it seems like that might be the case that there are 2 permies accounts. I can look into this for you

In the first instance, can you let us know what your kickstarter backer no is, so we can do some cross-referencing. Then we should be able to sort it out.

I thought I would pop in and do a quick lookup.  Unfortunately, the quick kickstarter lookup tool no longer allows us to look up people via email.  Only name and backer number.

I learned that you did not use the name "Neal" in your kickstarter name.

Backer number?

I'm part of the 2.7%

I tried adding the email address I use for my Kickstarter account, and got a message that it's in use by another account.

I also noticed my "Display Name" had "II" added at the end. So I presume I have 2 accounts here.

How can we go about curing my "split personality" on this site?

(I've not put in the email addresses I use, since it would potentially be seen by others. I can put them in a direct message to someone).

Thanks

I'm one of the folks who had issues with the initial payment.  That has been corrected.  I'm happy to wait for you to get the updated list from Kickstarter if that's less cumbersome.  Otherwise, my backer number is 1441 and my email is the same here and on Kickstarter.

Thanks for providing connections and resources that help me learn and grow <3

Ray, I think all your stuff should now be together in the same account.  Everything look good to you?

My kickstarter email is the same as my permies email and I didn't have any issues with collecting payment (at least that i'm aware of as the money left my account). Yet i'm not able to get access to the goodies.

I did get an email from a bot saying my email address was not on the permies database, yet i have had this account for years.

My backer number is 1730.

I found you on the current kickstarter report.  It says "collected" - so we will get you added to the forum soon!

Looks like kickstarter harvested your coin.  It looks like the emails match.

The key is that  no goodies have been handed out yet!

So you are saying that you currently don't have access to the support forum?

And you are also saying that your funds were collected within the first few minutes that the kickstarter finished?

I think a lot of people got into the support forum - so that general function is working.  

Once we get the final list from kickstarter (friday afternoon) we'll get EVERYBODY in there and start handing out candy.

If kickstarter is being weird, we can try to look up their stuff at kickstarter to see if shows being all sorted.

I can't add my kickstarter email address to my account, because some time in the past, I must have used the email to open an account on permies and then forgot about it. I'm not the most active social media/online forum person. Well, I have attempted to log in to that account; however, it says that it is locked.

Kathryn,

Kickstarter has "upgraded" their lookup so that I can look you up by backer number or by name.  And searching for your name did not bear any fruit.  Do you happen to know what your backer number is?

The email address that kickstarter shows me is the exact same email address for your account that you are using right now.  

Did you make some changes recently?

I did. I changed the kickstarter email then realized I had misread something, but it would not let me change it back. Please forgive my internet clumsiness. My internet speed is slow and is ALWAYS slowest when I actually need to do something so I then end up in a bit of a rush because  I have a million other things I need to be doing and the internet always feels like such a time suck.

It looks like the issue was resolved about a day after you asked for this info. I have access now

Hey, I'm a $100 level supporter of the LTLM Kickstarter and I'm trying to download the videos. I live where I can't get the net, so I go into town to download things.  Can you help me with downloading the videos? I can't seem to find a way.

Hi Alex!  Thanks for your support.  The final movie - the Low Tech Lab movie - will be available as a download for your level of support ($100) but that has not been released yet.  Most of the other rewards are streaming only.  I think you were particularly interested in the Justin Rhodes' webinar, which is a streaming-only product with a downloadable PDF of the slides.

You can find a list of all the rewards and what is still yet to be released in the private Kickstarter forum here: https://permies.com/wiki/213562/Tech-Laboratory-Movie-links

Totally ditto

I detoured off the rat race 20 years ago
My health has mostly improved even though I am slowly losing my strength and height LOL
My mental health : no comparison
But I am now longer internet savvy and also only use a smart phone that is smarter than I am

I usually have to waste gas to find a weak cellular signal unless anything online has to wait until I am actually going somewhere and have time to stop

When people talk offgrid they usually don't mean no signal either

All the great stuff in permies wiki I can only access when in a vehicle except right now I am visiting my son in the arctic

Of course when he is free I am not online either!

So when do I get time to get any better...

Solution is to ignore email in general and anything important i will find attatched to my sent folder
Which gives me more time on permies

Freyda,

This thread is to help people that backed the kickstarter we did last spring.  Are you a backer of that kickstarter?

The rewards haven't been distributed yet. We won't get the full report from Kickstarter for at least another week or so.

Frank,

This is the thread for LTLM 1 - the kickstarter we did in the spring.  Are you saying that you backed LTLM 1 or LTLM 2 (the kickstarter we finished a few days ago)?
