Utopian is a great concept but why should you spend money in ads? I would have preferred a partnership with Mozilla, Gnome, Kde, or an existing known Open Source entities.
Unfortunately these initiatives are not known to be very talkative. We have tried to get in touch and let them know but we are yet to receive a response.
Why Indiegogo ? Many are in crypto to not use credit cards or banks.. Fundition ?
Because it is time to get people in crypto by giving them something they understand and can use. It is not just about getting as much funds as possible, but using Indiegogo as a marketing tool to get the word out.
We are also running on Fundition, but as I said, that won't really produce the same exposure Indiegogo can produce outside of the crypto world.
Stablecoins like DAI and Steem Dollars work. Here is an example made for Ethereum that on Steem could also work even better https://gitcoin.co/explorer
Utopian implements SBD for loading up bounties and we are working on the integrations of additional currencies to give our platform in the hands of as much people as possible. We go for a hybrid approach, that we believe is the best way to go for growing adoption.
Thanks for your feedback!
