Kickstarter: a movie about Free, Earth-Friendly Heat

Ah cool new stretch goal! I love it!

Evening sessions at events always hold such gems of wisdom!

New page requires a handy-dandy button to get to kickstarter!



(I need these links, because that's how I find my way to the kickstarter page )

1,102 backers! If we have 9 more, we'll have 1,111 backers!

Pretty much!

1111 backers

It's Monday.  4 days to go!  

from my email:

subject: PTJ videos

Hey Paul,

Will all the tracks be recorded and available to $100+ backers to the Kickstarter like they were for the Appropriate Technology course?

Lineup looks good this year! I can't make it, but would love to see how it's all done

Thanks  

I think there is a typo (or two) in this question.  

We are talking about the RMHJ videos, right?  Ten hours of RMHJ videos is part of the $100 backer level.

New stretch goal!

Why thank, thank you! Though I must say, the award should actually go to my husband. He thought up the idea for this meme a couple years ago--I just photoshopped it into existence!

I stopped to grab lunch and we blew past 50k!  Now every backer at 100 and up gets the 9 presentation bundle from the 2017 Wheaton Labs PDC!!!




Working toward 55k, for 4 tickets to this year's Rocket Mass Heater Workshop:

Looking at the kickstarter page, I can't simply pledge the amount I want to? Do I need to select the next lower level and then add in the difference as a "bonus", or am I missing something?

I'm pretty sure you want to pick a reward level, and then add on more as a bonus. If you don't pick a reward level, it makes it really hard to get you any rewards, because you're categorized in a very different way, and it's kind of assumed you don't want any rewards.

I think we have some tutorials somewhere on how to raise your backer level. Let me see if I can hunt one down...

Ah-ha! I found a tutorial!

 - click "change your pledge"
 - scroll down to select your new backer level
 - click on "continue" and then "confirm"

OMG! I blinked and the Kickstarter is taking off! To the moon!

Here's a video from a previous kickstarter. Hopefully it helps!

Okay, the kickstarter was too proud to take my cutesy little pennies bonus, but I still upped my pledge ten times really fast...

It's got me envisioning a rocket mass heater built into a piano, so you can play in the cold without your fingers going all numb!  If you can put it in a hugel, and you can put it in a hot tub, why NOT a grand piano???
