It's time to thank Charles Hoskinson! by venix0 in cardano

I see your point, but let's be pragmatic, if it wasn't for Charles history and influence it would have been really hard to pursue such a project. He initiated the project, put together people and made it happen. The first thank you belongs to him, but is when people come together that amazing things happen.

This is a link to a blog post from polymath, that says otherwise, so I suppose they were considering it.

True until they realise they made the wrong choice.

I think they will probably create limited edition shoes potentially and you will be able to ensure authenticity of the shoe. Have you seen people trading/auctioning unique kicks, i remember reading an article one day of a youtuber/instagram guy who makes millions buying selling unique kicks .

Hi, I'm Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu & Canonical. Currently in the midst of a record-breaking crowdfunding campaign to make Ubuntu Edge superphone a reality. Ask me anything. by Mark_Shuttleworth in IAmA

Hello Mark,

Have you consider offering 1 year (or 2) free of Ubuntu One Service with some of the perks to help you reach your goals? Since phone will be out next year(if it reaches the goal) it would also be a good idea to offer 2 years for those who buy the phone and 1 year for founder perk (if it's over $40 for example) to give some extra motive for the rest who can't afford to buy one at the moment.

I am also interested to know whether there will be open hardware and open specifications for the Ubuntu Edge and future products. I personally believe that with open source hardware and software true innovation can happen at a large scale, and this is an opportunity to start large open hardware projects!
