Well.. It turns out Kickstarter turned down my project for helping the unemployed.
Interestingly enough, Kickstarter turned down my project, citing the reason, “Self-Help” violates their terms and conditions for projects.

Privacy on your Smartphone a solution for all
I’ve recently written an article on smartphones only to think about a few things. One of the things I thought about was the fact that nobody has created a VPN service that is truly anonymous (as in not keeping logs) for smartphones. (They claim they are, but there is very little truth to that). So,…
