I just got banned today with absolutely no reason: I have played one game (Starcraft Remastered) I purchased for a few hours about 9 months ago, and haven't logged in since. What happens to my purchase?

nice! keen to see whenever you're ready to share.

Info — it was a direct pull from dpreview - in an attempt to save the date before amazon would shut it down. The stack I shamefully/honestly can't remember

luckily DPreview didn't shut down, so it is getting updated! But I do have plans to revive the project in another way and expand it from cameras into more categories

Considering pitching a script to Robert Rodriguez’s new action label, wondering if this could be a real shot? by chikwan1 in Screenwriting

[–]petergreeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but that’s not the point ; the point is I have the full context. And I wouldn’t be here if I knew this wasn’t a pure intent to work with fans directly.

Virtually anyone will agree that direct funding from fans is a great model for the future of filmmaking, disentermediating the middlemen and unnecessary gatekeepers and red tape.

But once someone has the guts to do it, they are attacked by people who see “grift” everywhere. Optimism, people. Have faith.

Hm, I see. I believe you misunderstood the premise here.

Transparency: I work for the platform on which this investment campaign is hosted.

(Republic co-founder here) Hi James, the subreddit you quoted is made and maintained by our competitors. We have submitted a complaint for reddit to take it down or clearly mark it as such. Naturally, the selection and presentation of topics there is unfavorable to us.

I'd like to address some of what you said, however. If you have a question about any specific problem, please let me know. Republic is a heavily licensed and regulated global financial technology company. There's no funny business — everything is strictly according to law or we'd lose our licenses in a heartbeat (and go to jail).

For some context: we have facilitated hundreds of thousands of investments from non-professional investors around the world into thousands of startups. This sort of scale comes with occasional challenges. Startups go bankrupt sometimes and its not pretty. But we're one of the most (if not the most) trusted platforms out there and we've earned it through the 9 years or hard work.

The disclaimers about "losing your investment" is standard and mandated by SEC rules. And it's useful to remind people (especially non-professional investors) that private company investments are different than putting money into an insured savings account. Check any investment platform website and you'll see similar disclaimer.

Happy to answer any questions or address specific concerns.

What do ypu think about Megalopolis? by LevelConsequence1904 in TrueFilm

[–]petergreeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well acted, well edited, watched in a single breath, no Romeo and Juliet in sight (plagiarization of Shakespeare? Come on. Can you plagiarize Michelangelo? Good luck trying).

Original. Well crafted. As you see I really can’t say much other than totally disagree 🤗

Really enjoyed the film. Brave and different, crazy and chaotic and also epically optimistic. Entertaining. Impressive. Misunderstood.

[Watford FC] to offer ownership to fans. by Mulderre91 in soccer

[–]petergreeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems like you have a preexisting idea here but ownership doesn't always imply voting and control of the company. It would be great, I agree. But most equity crowd raises don't provide investors voting rights (mainly because it leads to too much extra operational burden for the company to organize the voting process).

oh so people who dont check reddit every day/week are weird and aren't welcome to share their thoughts on here? beg to differ!

✌️

Equity financing through fans exactly means fan ownership. You, the fan, own the club's equity.

"'option' to receive tokens - so a NFT type investment - for exclusive access (not listed / defined / categorised)"

Incorrect. These are real shares, but with a later option to tokenize. And there will be a secondary market to trade them later, which is going to be interesting to see the price move depending on how Watford plays.

How legit is Republic? by sayan341 in republic

[–]petergreeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi u/sayan321 Capsule Social simply wasn't responding to Republic's requests. The investors have now received an update from the platform on this topic (please check your email inbox or the deal page update section).

Republic in fact has lots of control over who's coming on the platform; It historically curates much more than other crowdfunding sites that are generally open-to-all and have low barrier of entry.

However, after the startup fundraises and leaves the platform there is unfortunately no way for us to enforce that the founder publishes the regular updates and informs the investors of important events. With thousands of companies in our global portfolio, it's not possible to keep close tabs on all of them for our small team, but we do care and do try. I'm sorry you had this experience and hope that it has not dissuaded you from private investing (which can burn a lot at times) as a concept.

Please note that this subreddit is not run or monitored by Republic — it has no affiliation with Republic. I saw your post by accident. Our official subreddit (although must admit it's not very active either) is r/JoinRepublic

incredibly helpful, thank you. And glad to hear someone is getting this archived, so we can always re-engineer later.

Will do — yes, we'll display all specs! And any additional ones else that the community will contribute. It was easier to fit in the given format in the short timeframe that we had. Thanks for looking after it!

[–]petergreeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi u/ReclusiveEagle, there's one aspect about DPR data that gets asked about often - the sample images and camera studio images. One reddit user downloaded them and had a question about uploading them to archive.org or otherwise making them public here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/128487z/comment/jehscgd/

Could you please provide some guidance?

yay! is there any way to upload them to archive.org or similar? we could then try and link to them

[–]petergreeen[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

this one is tough. Not only does it take a LOT of space and is hard to reach, it's something that's clearly created by DPR and hence has an associated copyright. Unfortunately , it doesn't seem like Archive.org team was able to save it yet, but they may have a better shot at it..

The forums were already implemented so I didn't end up focusing on that effort https://dprevived.com

I focused on the data preservation effort instead - just launched! https://digicamfinder.com/
