Kickstarter Plans to Move Its Crowdfunding Platform to the Blockchain

Lucas Matney, reporting for TechCrunch:

Crowdfunding platform Kickstarter is making a big bet on the blockchain, announcing plans to create an open source protocol “that will essentially create a decentralized version of Kickstarter’s core functionality.” The company says the goal is for multiple platforms to embrace the protocol, including, eventually, Kickstarter.com.

Welp, all that’s left after that is to sell the company to Twitter and shut it down.
