[QUOTE=Vedicardi;37264712]you're going to be seeing a lot more of these as the campaign gets into the later stages[/QUOTE] Notch, and Gabe will probably join in :v:
Might be a good idea to email Gabe, Notch, companies, etc. to guarantee they are at least aware of the campaign.

Think about this, Tesla promised the world not only wireless energy, but FREE, UNLIMITED, WIRELESS energy. He did not get the funding for it because "If anyone can use it, where do we put the meter?" He was literally asked that. Never got the funding because it wouldnt be profitable.

i wish i could make stupid comics and become famous
I donated $25 :3
[QUOTE=abcpea2;37266562]i wish i could make stupid comics and become famous[/QUOTE] can you get over your hate of his comics just for this it's motherfucking NIKOLA TESLA.
[QUOTE=abcpea2;37266562]i wish i could make stupid comics and become famous[/QUOTE] To each his own, I suppose. Personally I like what he does, but humor is kinda subjective.

I think people need to stop mining for gold and start mining for geeks.[/QUOTE] 280k already with 45 days left!
I support this idea, even if I can't donate anything, I'll let all my friends and their families etc know about this.
In indiegogo, can you contribute less than the 25$?
Do it! No reason for a piece of history like this to be turned into a fucking shopping mall. [editline]16th August 2012[/editline] Notch's tweet probably guaranteed that it will fly right past it's goal. Hell it might make enough from the indigogo outright.
Donated $25. As someone doing a degree in Physics, I think Tesla was one of the greatest, if not the greatest Physicist to ever live. He was an example of what all scientists should aspire to be.
I wish I could go back in time and murder Edison before the first time he fucked over Tesla.
Damn, 45 days to go and already 295k.

If you look through the funders tab, you can see several donations of $1.
Halfway there! Put your backs into it!
[QUOTE=abcpea2;37266562]i wish i could make stupid comics and become famous[/QUOTE] Well, you already have stupid comments. You just need to draw your own stupid art and have your own stupid website and you too can be a stupid comic strip writer on the internet!
427k
I think the coolest thing I've seen with this is when it was still at only $2,000 donated, I -only then- read the actual comic and refreshed the page, donations were up to $8,000 V:v:V
Thomas Edison stole inventions from Tesla
It's amazing how fast the money has gone up. Looks like a Tesla museum will be built.
Elon Musk has pledged his support.
This is cool. To repeat a sentence that is quickly becoming worn out; crowd funding works.

That's awesome. Hope it goes through!
I contributed :smile:
