 the problem is that the "usual" crowdfunding projects, you don't have
multiple radically-different arbitrary modular parts!  you have one
main "thing", and errr... that's it.

 but you're absolutely right, there should definitely be a MOQ not a
financial target, i'll mention it to crowd supply, see what he thinks.
