The only problem here is you fell for the story of the BILLIONaire(!) that
"failed" to drum up ridiculous-in-his-balancebook 30some MILLIONS(!), while
Nikolaus probably would be able to pull of same project on 10% of that budget.
Canonical big hoax, sorry! If this Shuttleguy really been interested in
building a Edge , he'd simply DO it instead of starting nonsensical
crowdfunding.
Don't you see this is a marketing gag, nothing else?
