Talk about (almost) anything

How about, at 10,000, you do a livestream? It could show one of two things: We ask questions, or we see you make a Gamebuino FROM HAND.
Is that too hard for you?
Just don't get stage fright!

Mmh, that would be pretty boring to watch me assemble a Gamebuino, it takes about an hour.
But a live stream with Q&A could be funny, anybody else think it's a good idea?
(But I think we'll reach €10000 anyway)

Live stream Q&A would be nice. Yep, 10k is just around the corner.

How's about a nicely designed box to ship it in?

As I said on the indiegogo comment page...
Actually I don’t make any profit with Gamebuino (I don’t even count all the time I spent), so if I add more goodies it will even cost me money. And sorry about the headphone plugs, it’s too late in the design process as the first batch (for early birds) has already been ordered. Anyway, it wouldn’t fit on the PCB. Sorry!
At least, a live stream doesn't cost anything except time

You don't make profit? Not even a little? Profit would let you stay on this project full-time (Would that be bad?) and expand it.
Also, why did you move it to the general forum?

Selling Gamebuino consoles is just for fun. To to share a project, to create a community. You didn't even buy a Gamebuino for 35€ ($50), what if it was 70€ ($100)? I'm not sure it would work that well. Profit is not my main goal in life, and working as an engineer in robotics R&D makes enough money for my needs.
Well, I moved this topic because it was in the wrong category. "Project guidance" category is about "Advice on general approaches or feasibility".

My suggestions are:
Printed or online manual
Printed scheme signed by r0d0t in each package (or signed PCB/case)
Special color of PCB or buttons (red PCB, golden button) - for all except for early birds - I will buy another one (to have both - early and regular) in that case

I never said early birds wouldn't have something special
Edit: An online manual? What about the wiki? It's still pretty empty, but I'll work on that! (And hopefully you guys will help me a little bit)
