content: Quote from: Fsck on December 17, 2013, 10:20:26 amNon-US projects are handled differently. I don't need an amazon payments account like all US projects creators do, and the money goes directly into my back account minus a merchant fee. I don't know what CC merchant they are using though?

content: Quote from: EEVblog on December 17, 2013, 09:31:29 amI have never funded a kickstarter... until now. But this device is a darn useful tool to have and I could not pass up the opportunity. It won't be used often, but when it is needed it will be like gold. A bit like my digital frequency meter - rarely used, but when you need it you need it. A Christmas present to me from me - something I always wanted!

content: Quote from: EEVblog on December 17, 2013, 10:01:42 amI totally understand why you use Kickstarter. It is funded more, it is bigger. I would do the same. Only they look at non-english speaking countries, like they don't exist.
