True, im afraid its unlikely they will make it. I would really like this Kickstarter campaign and ultimately this project to succeed, but I believe they have not delivered sufficient proof that they are capable of delivering the product they are promising.

If this post manages to stay on the front page, they may get enough traction, but still unlikely

Hi Madmaze, why do you think that they have not delivered sufficient proof?

Well, I guess you were wrong. $850K when I just checked.

This is not to say the idea is good, though. It does seem like an extraordinary price premium for something that's available through other means.

Yes it is. However, I've followed the funding progress in the last few hours and it's really increasing fast.

I really do hope it works out. I really see a lot of potential for (clusters of) these boards for machine perception and other neural computing applications.

A lot more has been raised in a lot less time. Lockitron comes to mind.

As of now, with 23 hours left to go, they are only short $25K, so it seems almost inevitable that the target will be met.

And as of now, with 18 hours to go, they're over the line at $766K.
