Stock options, will there be stock options? Is love for name to be there, it'd be an honor. I ain't skeered.

We could also just put the monikers people use on the forum.

Yeah, we could do that. But I don't see the harm in first name/last name. Without some other piece of identifying information, there's not much value in just a name. No way would we publish email addresses. That's just stupid and also there's no point to it. Besides, the NSA already has all that.

But if a few folks are uncomfortable with it, we can just drop it. No biggie. We just wanted to give credit to our supporters on the company site. But we're happy to take all the credit ourselves.  ;D

The idea was to be like some of the Kickstarter projects out there. For projects like funding a band's album or funding an indy movie, lots of those project will include the supporter's names on their site (or liner notes, or credits) as part of the "value" of contributing money.

Hm. There is no connection between the forum moniker and the paypal order.
Perhaps you could ask every buyer what he prefers when you send the shipping notification?

I disagree. The contradition is right there: if there's not much value then why use it?
And I can think of many good reasons for staying anonymous.

Dont wanna whine or anything, but fwiw:

I dont have any problems with my name (as in first/last) showing up in a "thanx to.." or "credit" list. Its just an honor.

I think his point was that there is no value in a name in terms of someone exploiting that information. The value to us is quite different. But, there is no reason to make anyone uncomfortable so I expect we'll figure out an alternate way of saying thanks.

I think a good compromise would be first name and last initial. What do you guys think?
