THE RANT ROOM

[stivep]

I'm not  sure  I understood you properly.
I'm in USA,  I know the rules from business perspective too.
Unfortunately tax deductible donations must be given to  American non profit.
But I think that in that highly civilized  EU there are similar rules too.
EU means European  Union (- not the Far Far East Europe)

As already mentioned prior
The benchmark for Angel donations is a working prototype
Which can pass testing protocols
No need to share details of tech
Black box was always allowed .
To date ( it's been a longtime) none got that far ..
Many tried scams
Others had measurement error


And for clarity
Offer has nothing to do with a forum ( which you specifically asked about ?
Open source is a mindset
Not a forum anomaly
(IMO the world will rally to ( support)a true working open source device)

I will make a few calls again to reboot relationships with
Those who've offered to help open source inventor's in the past
Perhaps it's a good thing to do ..
And try to contact a few new persons too.
Times are changing!
Incredibly fast ..

I suspect many more are willing to help this world move
Towards a better path.

Ramset,

No offence but I'd rather work out the details with the Angel Funder directly.
As is very common and, generally, a requirement.

However, if you are the Angel Funder, please advise.

But, otherwise, thanks for your interest.

And, awaiting any information on other Forum Angel Funding...
You're the one who brought the "forum" Angel Funding" up, BTW.

Pretty hard to get a "direct answer" to a "direct question" around here, isn' it!
[Dodge Ball, anyone?]      

Have a good one.

PM me their emails/phone numbers - they can issue a cheque for a couple of million - no strings!

The technology can be presented, no problem (put the cheque in escrow), then, after executing
a non-disclosure - if there's no tech - then there's no money!

It sounds like you have been down this road before like myself?.

Generally speaking the first thing an inventor learns is that all the middle men do not disclose there supposed contacts unless there cut is in writing first because there useless. Otherwise there out of the loop just like an inventor putting there ideas or technology in the public forum. We all have vested interests and we tend to protect them, that is human nature.

I think you nailed it, if everyone and more so the wealthy, are so altruistic and charitable why has society become such a train wreck?. If this was true everyone would do the right thing and put there money where there mouth is but in fact this is generally the last thing we see. No offense but I have found most people worth over a few million dollars to be shallow, contradictory, semi-psychotic, narcissistic and all around assholes. Which is why I choose not to be like them nor associate with any of them. There just not worth my time and I have better things to do like learning and improving myself.

In reality real people know there real worth, it is nether here nor there and has nothing to do with money. They walk into a room and everything they do or say resonates with everyone around them, that is there worth.

On the issue of money, I was supposedly offered "more money than my family could spend in there lifetime". Why would you suppose I turned them down?. Seems kind of crazy or reckless doesn't it?. I mean that's a stupid amount of money so why would anyone suppose a fool like me would reject it?.

AC,

No offense taken - but just because I'm a Capitalist Pig doesn't mean I'm all the things you accuse me of.

Drop by some time and you'll find out - and yea, I grew up on a farm east of Edmonton, and I can still
milk a cow, ride a horse and rope! (well sort of ?)

And, I still enjoy sailing Yachts, good booze, a fast Mercedes, and inventing stuff, as well! Take care!
