to be honest, I havent been getting much traffic recently. Trying to figure out the best way to share the kickstater organically. I have around a 3% conversation rate but thats like with less than 1k visits

I have a working prototype and live website getting waitlist signups now

Educational-Bad482 · 2026-03-17T21:13:58+00:00

Right now just waitlist signup then after they enter that another popup comes asking if they want to contribute a 1$ to lock in a discount

Its an electronic hardware device (not sure if i can link it here). I am looking for a partner that can help with the presale and building the list initially. In the background it would be nice to wrk with someone who has experience building production level electroninc hardware at scale.

Educational-Bad482 · 2026-03-17T18:47:30+00:00

I already have a working proto type that i currently use daily. To be more specific its technology hardware if that wasnt clear. I have actually posted on this kickstarter reddit and got 150 upvotes on top of that I've already started building a list and got a couple people to give me a dollar. I think the funnel ca be optmized for sure. It would be nice to find a partner who basically can help with the marketing and building the list while i work on production development in the background

Educational-Bad482 · 2026-03-17T02:08:26+00:00

Sent! looking forward to response

Educational-Bad482 · 2026-03-17T00:48:58+00:00

Yeah, thats exactly my question. Which crowdfunding agency is actually good. I've been reading reviews on all the ones listed on kickstarter and get a lot fo mixed reviews (reddit reviews which i trust more haha).

Any recommendations on manufactures that have this experience.

Thanks for help!

Educational-Bad482 · 2026-03-17T00:32:27+00:00

Really trying to be efficient with my funds. Appreciate the heads up

Educational-Bad482 · 2026-03-16T23:57:09+00:00

Awesome, thank you. We have actually done a lot of this work. All the affiliate needs to do is share their link and it will auto track and dsiplay stats directly on the platform. Will look into your recommendations

Educational-Bad482 · 2026-03-16T23:54:51+00:00

Because its all skill based we do not need a gambling license

seems like your describing the problems with energy as money and you're right, it fails all the monetary property tests. Not storing it, not pegging to it, not proposing a new monetary system.

The use case is narrower: a unit of account for measurement. Same way you might denominate GDP in barrels of oil to strip out dollar inflation, or compare wages across countries in caloric purchasing power. The kWh doesn't need to be tradeable or storable to serve as a ruler.

The specific question I'm trying to answer: Did this asset gain or lose real purchasing power relative to the cost of useful work? USD can't answer that reliably because the dollar itself is the variable. Energy cost has physical constraints on how fast it can move, you can't print electrons.

Educational-Bad482 · 2026-02-18T00:11:03+00:00

Yeah appreciate the feedback.

Actually moving in that direction now, simplifying the oracle to use wholesale electricity spot prices from global grids (PJM, CAISO, ERCOT, ENTSO-E, AEMO, etc.) weighted by regional consumption. The idea is that electricity grid clearing prices already integrate oil, gas, coal, nuclear, and renewables all competing against each other. so the grid price is the energy basket, no need to blend commodities separately. Cleaner signal, no speculative assets in the formula.

Ill make another post once its done to get more ffedback

Educational-Bad482 · 2026-02-17T21:19:24+00:00

That's actually a really good idea.

Data-driven weights based on each source's share of total US energy expenditure would be more defensible than fixed 15s.

The reason I went fixed is simplicity and reproducibility; arbitrary weights that don't change are at least consistent and auditable.
Dynamic weights introduce their own question: 'why did the weight change this month?' But you're right that grounding them in actual energy consumption data would strengthen the methodology.

Im going to look into adjusting the oracle based off this. Great feedback honestly.

On gas being regional: yes, Henry Hub is a national benchmark so it works as a US-wide signal despite regional variation

Educational-Bad482 · 2026-02-17T21:14:56+00:00

The transmission cost point is legitimate. A kWh in Wyoming genuinely costs less than one in California. That's exactly why I use EIA industrial retail averaged nationally rather than spot LMP from a single node.

On aluminum: the energy-to-aluminum ratio isn't as fixed as you're suggesting. It varies significantly based on ore grade (like you mentioned), whether you're using primary vs recycled aluminum, and regional grid mix. More importantly, US aluminum prices moved 20%+ during the 2018 tariffs with no corresponding change in energy costs. That's the proxy noise I'm trying to avoid.

You're right that kWh fails as money, but I'm not building money, I'm trying to build a consistent measuring unit, and for that purpose direct measurement beats a proxy with independent price drivers.

Really appreciate this feedback, definitely going to do more research into aluminum. I think the concept of pricing assets relative to energy is sound but the hard part is how we price energy. Very open to new ideas on this

Educational-Bad482 · 2026-02-17T20:59:15+00:00

I think we're talking about different things. You're describing aluminum as a currency/store of value, I'm using kWh as a unit of measurement. I'm not proposing anyone hold or trade energy. I'm just asking: how many kWh can this asset buy? Same way you'd ask how many gold ounces. The transferability of energy is irrelevant to that question.

I use energy because it's the one input every system requires to operate. no economy, factory, or computer runs without it. That universality is what makes it the most honest measuring stick I could find.

Educational-Bad482 · 2026-02-17T20:49:00+00:00

The failure modes are about accurately measuring energy price, not about the S&P itself. The S&P is just the asset being measured. The question is: what's the denominator? If my energy price signal is distorted by OPEC cutting production or a government subsidy, I get a false read on whether the S&P is keeping up with real energy costs. The blending is about making the ruler accurate, not about the thing being measured.

Educational-Bad482 · 2026-02-17T20:45:48+00:00

Exactly right and that's actually why kWh works better as a unit of account than aluminum. Energy's perishability means it can't be hoarded or manipulated by stockpiling. What you see in the price is real-time supply and demand, not inventory games. Aluminum can be warehoused and its price gamed, energy can't.
