Stacy Summary: We’ll be recording some new episodes of Get REAL with Jan Skoyles shortly. This series was first crowdfunded by StartJOIN for a total of six episodes. Not only was a star (Jan!) born with this StartJOIN funded financial news programme about REAL assets, it has now been picked up by a sponsor to make this content on a more regular basis. So anyone else out there who feels inspired to post their own series which may attract either a sponsor, a distributor, a network or, indeed, an ongoing crowd of funders ready to keep the episodes rolling . . . then start with STARTJOIN.COM!
Coming up the first week of December, Max will deliver on the StartJOIN funded Max Keiser Joins Russell Brand To Co-Host The Trews For One Week.
The funds raised actually amounted to £712 thanks to some startcoin and bitcoin appreciation at that time. All went to the charity, Shelter.
Another success story has been the Maxcoin and Startcoin Cryptobullion projects. Both of the 2015 editions (linked to in previous sentence) have hit 100% of funding; and I will order some more myself before the funding window closes. Irish surgeon, Mike Murphy, has delivered some beautiful coins on the 2014 edition of the Maxcoin Cryptobullion. He’ll put the first batches in the most in the next week or two. Send us your photos as you receive them; here’s mine (photo taken on my iPad at Kilkenomics):

Another great project, where you can contribute via paypal, bitcoin or startcoin is CRASH, BOOM, POP Money and Economics Exposed – graphic novel
They’ve reached their funding goal; but are very happy to receive even more! At the moment they are at $2250 and if they reach $2500, Michael Guerra, the graphic artist, will give all contributors a digital download of a full res 8×10 copy of this:
And, finally, for this post anyway, thanks to all who contributed to Hotspots: Hong Kong. We’re heading there for a week over Christmas. We’ll be meeting the protest leaders for the film. And we’ll also make an episode of Keiser Report if we can manage to secure a studio.
I’ll post more success stories soon.
