I have participated in 10 crowd funded development efforts so far at Kickstarter and 1 at Indigogo. I am completely comfortable with the risks involved and the rewards I have experienced so far. I want government to stay out of the crowd funding process to prevent the costs always associated with government involvement. If you want to make a difference make your opinion heard to the SEC and your government representatives.
