    Mina the Hollower by Yacht Club Games » Update #13 - Exciting new surprises! — Kickstarter
    ▻https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yachtclubgames/mina-the-hollower

    A Treasure Trove of Art

    […] The spark of the idea came way back in 2013 during the Shovel Knight kickstarter when someone shared with us a picture of an unknown game dev at a game jam using Shovel Knight sprites as reference. He was making art for HIS game referencing art from OUR game. We love the idea of enabling other game devs! So, to that end, we are finally realizing one or our dreams by publishing the Treasure Trove: a nearly 1 gigabyte .zip containing ALL of the art from the 7 years of production of Shovel Knight Treasure Trove. 1 gigabyte doesn’t sound like a lot in modern video game terms but it’s pixel art, these files are usually measured in Kilobytes. It’s huge and it’s YOURS!

    We’re publishing it all under the Creative Commons license [CC BY-NC 4.0].

    How this Wrist Watch Company Can Take On Expensive, top-of-the-line Brands

    There are so many international wrist watch companies in the world. But it is hard to pick one that justifies the price tag. Recently, I was approached by a new watchmaking firm with the name of Niklaas Fritz (NF) to review their products. And their simple yet cool design really impressed me.Nowadays, a wristwatch is not just for seeing or checking time. It is more about showcasing your style and personality. The type of watch you wear defines you as a person. It is about passion and a way of expressing yourself.So what’s the catch in NF?NF offers superior quality #watches at a reasonable price and they claim that their quality of watches is better than their competitors.They use numerous luxurious materials in their watches such as sapphire crystal, full-grain leather, and stainless (...)

    Kickstarter Focuses Its Mission on Altruism Over Profit - The New York Times
    ▻http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/21/technology/kickstarters-altruistic-vision-profits-as-the-means-not-the-mission.html

    http://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/09/19/business/21kickstarter-web3/21kickstarter-web3-superJumbo.jpg

    #Kickstarter is exceptionally charitable, for instance, donating 5 percent of after-tax profits to causes that support the arts and combat inequality. Kickstarter has also agreed to “not use loopholes or other esoteric but legal tax management strategies to reduce its tax burden.”

    Kickstarter decided to become a #public_benefit_corporation because “there’s a huge difference between a values document and the legal foundation of your company”

    L’idée a de quoi séduire les Californiens touchés par la #sécheresse depuis quatre ans : se laver et se rafraîchir en consommant 70% d’#eau en moins. C’est le concept de la start-up Nebia, basée à San Francisco. Le #pommeau qui atomise l’eau en une multitude de gouttelettes permet de toucher une surface de peau 10 fois plus grande qu’un pommeau de douche classique.

    Une idée qui séduit les internautes. Trois jours après le lancement du projet sur le site de financement participatif #Kickstarter, environ 1 500 000 dollars gonflent la cagnotte. Alors que le projet en demandait initialement 100 000.

      Lockitron’s struggles are symptomatic of challenges many young DIY hardware companies face. Crowdfunding, which seemed like the new face of innovation a couple years ago, has been humbled by the complex realities of mass production.

    Art (#music) is a #business – and, yes, artists have to make difficult, honest business decisions | Amanda Palmer | Comment is free | theguardian.com
    ▻http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/dec/13/amanda-palmer-art-business-difficult-honest-decisions

    #Jack_Conte, one-half of the indie duo #Pomplamoose, is confronting this paradox the hard way in the wake of his recent post on Medium in which he lays bare the nuts, bolts, nets and grosses of his group’s 24-show American tour. Pomplamoose decided to pull out most of the stops and hire a full crew (sound, lights, tour manager, merch person), spare few expenses (buying new lights and road cases for their gear), and they freely admitted to considering the undertaking an investment in their future as a touring band. They lost about $12,000 after grossing a total of $136,000. I looked at that and barely blinked.

    Metaphorically, the band didn’t even fly first class, but that didn’t stop armchair critics from complaining that Pomplamoose didn’t deserve to get on the plane to begin with, those plane-taking wankers. And there are those angry at Pomplamoose’s abilty to absorb a #loss-leading #tour because they’re making enough #sustainable #income through their #pledge-per-song system on #Patreon (a platform Conte started 2 years ago, because no #online system existed for #YouTube-star bands to convert millions of views into actual revenue). But he could afford to the lose the money! some musicians complained. This isn’t a fair representation of middle class touring at all!, others wrote. The indie bands who’d toured in vans, slept on floors, and had nothing but chips and salsa on their riders said things like These guys spent their money like idiots!

    The critics are partially correct: Conte’s accounting is not how they’ve toured, or might tour if given the same budget. But it is how Pomplamoose chose to tour: at a loss, and as an investment. If there was any naiveté in Jack’s post, it wasn’t in how the band spent their money but rather in his assumption that a compassionate universe was ready to accept his transparency as an important contribution to the music information economy instead of a mercenary gimmick promoting his own cause.

    But losing money on a mid-level tour is more common than anyone apparently thinks – it’s just that there are few artists masochistic enough to put the information transparently into the public domain.

    When The Dresden Dolls were invited to open up for Nine Inch Nails’ summer tour in 2005, we were ecstatic. We were offered $500 per show to perform about six shows a week. We had to hire a tour bus and driver (no amount of sleeping-in-the-van or cheap flights could match the speed of the NIN caravan), and we had to hire our own sound guy. I have not, until now, written about the huge loss we took on that tour, nor would I ever criticize Trent Reznor for not offering us a “living wage”. He made the offer; we didn’t have to take it. To this day, I still meet people who discovered my music because of that tour: they became fans, they supported my Kickstarter, they come to my shows, they bought my book. We figured we’d make it back when we went back on our own tour as headliners. And …we did.

    Risk-based investing exists everywhere but the arts (and, one could argue, in the non-profit world), where it is considered absolutely déclassé. In the tech industry – and the restaurant industry, or any industry, really – it is considered necessary to spend, experiment, fail, struggle, borrow capital and ultimately find a healthy balance between expenditure and income. Wired’s Erika Hall recently even wrote of the tech world that “Somewhere along the way, it got to be uncool to reduce one’s risk of failure.”

    Perhaps the stickiest problem when comparing art and business is that the definition of “success” becomes muddied when you opt for a career in music. On the one hand, you’re told you haven’t “made it” until you’re a megastar – making a living at your art isn’t enough – and, on the other hand, musicians aren’t supposed to be concerned with profits if they’re “real” artists – Didn’t you get into this job just for the love of it?

    I launched my now-infamous #Kickstarter for my own album, tour and art book in 2012 and, while it grossed over $1.2m, it netted – when all was said and done – close to zero. I actually chose to run the Kickstarter as a loss leader: I wanted to impress my fans, and the critics of crowdfunding who I knew were going to judge and criticize me - and the project - no matter what. I deliberately used high-end, expensive packages when manufacturing the CD-books, the vinyl, the hand-painted record players and art-books I’d convinced 25,000 people to #pre-purchase. I even wound up chronicling my projected budget. Why? Because there was a bizarre impression that I’d somehow been handed a million-dollar check and was going to spend my year languishing in a swimming pool filled with hundred dollar bills. But I hadn’t: like a shoe store, or a restaurant, I was running a business with the obligatory expenses, like a full staff on payroll, a shop to rent, and a million dollars worth of pre-ordered shoes to design, inspect, manufacture and mail out to my customers.

    Meanwhile, even as I was only breaking even on the Kickstarter with an optimistic vision of future earnings (which did eventually manifest as a larger fanbase, more profitable tours, and a book advance), I got widely raked over the coals in the media for not paying fans who’d volunteered to come to my show and play with me and the band for two or three songs in exchange for tickets, backstage beers and hugs. This wasn’t my salaried band or crew we’re talking about – these were local sax and violin players showing up for an impromptu jam session that lasted one evening. I’d been doing these sorts of trades for years and they’d worked out just fine for everyone, until people got the sense that I was a millionaire (or, at least the wife of one) running a rock’n’roll sweat shop.

    The irony? Some of the exact same journalists and bloggers are now lambasting Jack Conte for paying the professional musicians he hired to toured with Pomplamoose (which is usually a two-person band that use loops to fill out their sound). Will Stevenson, a band manager himself, asked in the Alternative Press: “But why would the rest of you and your band need salaries? If you aren’t making the money, why would you pay it out to people?”

    The backlash (Amanda, pay your volunteers! Jack, don’t pay your band!) is laughable, but it speaks volumes about the double standards with which the world tackles the #music_industry: you’re damned if you play by the rules, and you’re damned if you find a creative way to thwart them. We – Taylor Swift, Trent Reznor, Zoe Keating, Pomplamoose, U2, Radiohead, me – are all just trying to find a way to create and monetize our creations at the same time.

    And if there are going to be a million new paths to sustainability for a million different artists, we’d best stop bickering amongst ourselves about the validity of each and every path these artists are stumbling down – or at least step out of the way if we can’t lend a hand.

    Des raisons de se méfier de l’ #Anonabox

    L’Anonabox est un #Tor router qui se plug entre votre router et votre machine/ réseau à la maison, ce ou bien via réseau filaire ou bien sans fil à travers un wifi dans l’Anonabox. Il peut également être placé entre votre modem et votre router pour ainsi protéger tout le trafic internet de votre maison (mais alors vous pouvez oublier les jeux en-ligne à cause de la latence introduite.)

    https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/002/618/350/14597b63f56a0d2908cfc1275cef6fe1_large.jpg

    Ainsi vous pouvez tranquillement surfer le web, tout votre trafic sera encrypté à travers Tor. Ce boîtier est petit et peut bien sûr venir avec vous en voyage. Ca tourne sous #OpenWrt.

    C’est un project #Kickstarter lancé par August Germar en Californie. L’objectif était de recolter $7.500, mais ils sont déjà à $587.000

    ►https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/augustgermar/anonabox-a-tor-hardware-router

    MAIS de la critique est apparu sur #Reddit disant que contrairement à ce qui était prétendu initialement le hardware n’est pas fait maison mais bien du readymade Chinois disponible en-ligne, et que le boîtier ne serait pas très sécurisé.

    ▻https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/2je9ms/anonabox_scam_why_i_dont_trust_them

    Dans un interview avec #WIRED, le concepteur August Germar admet que le hardware provient d’un OEM Chinois, et pas issu d’un propre développement comme faussement indiqué sur le project Kickstarter.

    Dans un deuxième article WIRED :

    But as of Thursday morning, the backlash against that project had become so severe that its total funding was actually ticking down rather than up, as disillusioned backers pulled their pledges faster than others could make them. The comments section on the Kickstarter page had filled with users accusing the project’s creators of fraud, many asking Kickstarter to cancel the fundraiser.

    [...]

    But as the security community has taken notice of Anonabox over the last week, its analysts and penetration testers have found that the router’s software also has serious problems, ones that could punch holes in its Tor protections or even allow a user to be more easily tracked than if they were connecting to the unprotected Internet.

    [...]

    But Germar argues that all the criticisms of the Anonabox stem from miscommunication, not carelessness or any attempt to scam users. He admits that he should have made clear which parts of the Anonabox’s hardware he sourced from China rather than give users the impression he was custom-building the parts from scratch. But he denies the software issues represent real vulnerabilities. Instead, he describes them as issues of user education. Germar says he intended to include warnings in the final documentation to change the router’s root password, for instance.

      –Redesigned outer case and smaller form factor (images of the new case will be posted in the updates!)
      –Hardened version of OpenWrt the Open Source Operating system,
      -Latest version of Tor software and more secure configuration.
      –Automatic updates of Tor software (no need to configure!)

      Also:

      The funds from our backers will go to paying for production costs, and a portion will also be donated to the Official Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier foundation.

    How Youtube Stars Can Actually Make a Living | TIME
    ▻http://time.com/3012914/patreon-kickstarter-youtube-crowdfunding

    This desire to get an inside track on the creation of a new project has already helped #Kickstarter pull in more than $1 billion in pledges from people around the world. Experts believe the Patreon model can also reach massive scale since it’s appealing to both creators and their fans. ““Here you can evaluate the quality of output over time and then decide whether you want to continue subscribing or not,” says Anindya Ghose, a professor of information, operation and management sciences at New York University who also studies crowdfunding. “It’s a very positive self-reinforcing cycle where people give small amounts of money, which incentivizes artists to do a better job, which then leads people to give more money more frequently.”

    Plenty of obstacles remain for the still-nascent startup. It’s not yet clear just how long people will be willing to continually support a single artist’s work—Ghose points out that a few popular creators pumping out subpar work simply to collect a check could sour new users on the platform. More worrying could be YouTube’s entrance into the donations space. The video giant launched a virtual tip jar of its own recently as a response to ongoing gripes that it’s hard to earn money directly on the site. For now, Conte contends that Patreon’s features differentiates it from YouTube’s less robust offering, while YouTube has expressed support for crowdfunding platforms like #Patreon and Kickstarter.

    Silicon Valley, at least, believes in Patreon’s future. The startup closed a $15 million round of venture funding in June which included leading venture capitalist Danny Rimer and Alexis Ohanian, one of the co-founders of Reddit. The money will allow the company to launch a mobile app and open an office in San Francisco instead of working out of the two-bedroom apartment where Conte and co-founder Sam Yam live.

    As Patreon grows, Conte promises that it will remain focused on creators’ interests. The currently unprofitable company charges a 5% commission on all donations, and Conte vows the fee won’t increase in the future (Kickstarter and YouTube charge the same amount). Though he’s now a CEO, he’s still a creator at heart—Conte has 1,300 patrons of his own paying more than $5,000 for each new video he makes. He envisions a future where every creative person isn’t a starving artist or a pop megastar. There’s room in the middle for artists, too, and people will pay for their work because, as Conte says, “Everybody wants to be able to enjoy beautiful things.”

    Ce qui relie AirBnb, Kickstarter, mais aussi les Moocs ou les fablabs, c’est le passage d’institutions centralisées à des communautés distribuées et connectées. Bitcoin en est l’illustration parfaite : on passe d’institution financières centralisées qui contrôlent la production et la distribution d’argent à un réseau d’agents, sans autorité centrale.

    Pope’s Franciscans Kick-Start Restoration Effort : NPR
    ▻http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=289236246

    ROME (AP) — Pope Francis’ namesake, St. Francis of Assisi, founded his order of mendicant friars in the 13th century after receiving a calling from God to “rebuild my church.” Some 800 years later, St. Francis’ followers are rebuilding his church in the ancient tradition of door-to-door begging that St. Francis championed — but with a very modern twist.

    With interest in things Franciscan at an all-time high, the friars who run the San Francesco a Ripa church in Rome’s Trastevere neighborhood launched a #Kickstarter online fundraising campaign Wednesday to try to raise $125,000 for the restoration of the tiny cell where St. Francis stayed when he came to Rome to see the popes starting in 1209, The Associated Press has learned.

    Life After Death in Chicago
    by Carlos Javier Ortiz

    http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2013/12/03/blogs/20131203-lens-ortiz-slide-QBW6/20131203-lens-ortiz-slide-QBW6-blog480.jpg

    The killing of a high #school honors student and majorette who had participated in President Obama’s inaugural parade earlier this year elicited national outrage. Granted, some people who had been following gun violence against young people in Chicago wondered where the outrage was when other teenage boys were murdered.

    “If it was a 17-year-old boy, it probably would not have gotten as much attention, but you can’t really push it that way with a little girl,” said Carlos #Javier_Ortiz, a #documentary photographer in Chicago. “You hear it on the news, and we have these assumptions about people, thinking everything is gang related, but it’s not. The thing is, I’m trying to go beyond the headlines and show these are real people.”

    Indeed, when Hadiya Pendleton was killed, Mr. Ortiz was already into his seventh year documenting how violence affected families, primarily in Chicago, where he was raised and now lives. From the sidewalk memorials and the anti-violence rallies to the homes left broken or the wounded trying to recover, he was there. After an October workshop sequencing and editing his images at Red Hook Editions, he is now preparing a book and has started a #Kickstarter campaign to raise $10,000 to finance its publication. (A 2011 campaign, as well as exhibitions, allowed him to pursue the project and produce video.)

    The book’s title, “We All We Got,” is a nod to a theme running throughout the work.

    They’re mean and vicious and they just might come after you next. You’ve got to help! They have to be stopped. They have to be exposed. Alex didn’t ask for this. All she wanted was a chance to chase her dream. She didn’t even know they existed…until they turned her mother to stone. Without warning, her 9 year old world has been turned upside down. Though they’d been there moments before, Alex no longer saw her father or brothers. They weren’t stone but they were gone. Where were they? What happened to them?

    TUG by Nerd Kingdom — Kickstarter
    ▻http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nerdkingdom/tug-1

    TUG sits at the crossroads where survival sandbox and multiplayer RPG’s meet, offering both elegant simplicity and a world of complex secrets for those who desire to seek them out. From freezing snow capped mountains to dark dreary caves, TUG offers a massive procedurally-generated world to explore, full of mystery and danger — but what makes TUG truly unique is its ability to help us learn what you as players enjoy about the game, and to use your interactions to make an amazing world even better.

    The project draws inspiration from fun, accessible games we love such as Minecraft, Fable, Animal Crossing, and Zelda, as well as games that feature deeply complex worlds, including Eve Online, Monster Hunter, and Dwarf Fortress.

    le paradoxe du singe savant

    ▻http://singessavants.blogspot.fr

    Le lieu d’exposition d’une copine graphiste artiste de grand talent avec une de ses copines

    et la présentation de leur projet

    ▻http://www.kisskissbankbank.com/le-paradoxe-du-singe-savant--2?ref=recent

    Le paradoxe du singe savant est un théorème selon lequel un singe qui tape indéfiniment et au hasard sur le clavier d’une machine à écrire pourra « presque sûrement » écrire un texte donné. La probabilité qu’un singe tape avec exactitude un ouvrage complet comme Hamlet de Shakespeare est si faible que la chance que cela se produise au cours d’une période de temps de l’ordre de l’âge de l’univers est minuscule, mais cependant pas nulle.

    Nous sommes deux à vouloir travailler ici à Marseille, à vouloir travailler le papier, la poésie, le dessin, le sténopé, la reliure, la sérigraphie, la gravure. Faire des images pour rapprocher le dedans et le dehors. Faire des livres pour garder des traces et inventer des villes imaginaires dans la ville.

    Nous avons envie de pratiquer d’abord, puis d’exposer, d’échanger avec cette ville aux multiples facettes. Vous avez sûrement d’autres singes à fouetter : plutôt vous montrer quelques images.
