An Open Alternative To Kickstarter 124
angry tapir writes "Crowd-funding website Crowdtilt officially launched last week, expanding upon the collective fundraising model pioneered by Kickstarter to enable raising money for any project — even a beer blitz. Like Kickstarter, Crowdtilt allows users to create a fundraising campaign with a tipping point. If the effort falls short of the set amount, would-be donors are not charged. However, unlike Kickstarter, the platform allows users to "group fund anything." Users can initiate campaigns without first getting the approval of service administrators, which they must do on Kickstarter."
Group Fund Anything?! (Score:5, Funny)
I'm going to start a fundraising campaign to assassinate every world leader.
In other news: Crowdtilt was just shut down.

Hmm. I think you will need a prototype to start getting donations. Maybe you could invest your own money in killing one world leader and release a video of it.
