Kickstarter's founders are becoming concerned about what individuals think -- and particularly the crowdfunding platform is going to be regarded as an Amazon . com for uninvented devices. As a result, they are tightening the guidelines on product pitches to avoid anything too nebulous during the vetting process. Projects using simulations or renderings are prohibited from today, forcing designers to show working prototypes of the inventions. The website can also be adding a piece known as "Risks and Challenges," where contributing factors need to demonstrate their business, tech and planning acumen by explaining how they'll deal with issues that arise further in the future. Finally, Kickstarter can also be stopping job-plenty of items on offer like a funding reward (aside from such things as Ardunio-esque sets, where it's reasonable to anticipate multiple models) -- ending the times of having 30 nuclear-powered apple iphone cases for that low, low cost of $1,000.
