Rejected by Kickstarter; Lumawake opts to Selfstart

It's understandable why Kickstarter has enabled and are enforcing their new project guidelines & rules. It's a shame however when good products that are fully functional and prototyped are tossed into the photo-realistic renderings or simulations bucket.

I think the Lumawake team is doing the right thing by using the http://selfstarter.us open source framework.

Thanks for the support man. I think there's going to be a big shift towards this model since popular crowdfunding sites are shying away from hardware and never really fit with software. Lockitron and app.net have definitely paved the way but we're excited to be at the forefront. It will be interesting to see how the JOBS act fits in to all of this too...
