yeh, precisely. I don't believe in the future of this 'MiniDrive'. You can't just make shit look pretty/colorful and suggest you've got a 'new/innovative' product.

How is it no-risk?
If they reach their campaign goal, they can disappear with your money. The only 'no-risk' is them not getting money if they don't get to the campaign goal.
