Ah, that makes it look totally different. I took this phrase:
it's not yet decided if and how this will already be a (partial, 15%?) preorder as well.
... as "maybe 15% of money you've paid will count for pre-order" I see, that you have now made it more clear in the quoted post, thanks.

Anyway, of course, having to pay 15% or 20% at early stage, then, having this sum subtracted from whole unit price during MP ordering is absolutely OK for everyone (i think). Even without T-shirts and names on PCB

BTW, something that I thought about for a while - is it really worth to use kickstarter, if Golden Delicious already have own forms of payment available? I mean, of course, the % kickstarter is taking from whole gathered sum.

Of course, I realize that kickstarter campaigns have some medial fuzz thing around them (although, much less nowadays, there is just too many of them appearing every day), so it's a matter of price/gain ratio. I just think, that people behind this project are respectable enough, to allow successful funds gathering without need for "trusted middleman" in form of KS, if "popularization" factor of KS isn't worth price need to be paid.
