We have to be EXTREMELY careful with these type of fund raise posts. Encouraging the raising of funds (upvotes) based on promises can be extremely detrimental to the community in the long run. We need to develop some clear guidelines for this type of thing. See my comments regarding a similar situation here:

Hi James212, I understand your concerns, which is why I publicly staked my reputation on it, if you look at my name in the post it has a hyperlink to my LinkedIn page, I have provided social credibility and not just a username. I will also post proof once the billboards are in flight.

Hi steemdrive, thanks for your reply. My concern is not particularly with you or your project, as you seem to be very honest and quite capable of doing what you propose. My point is that we as a community need to set some basic standards and best practices for this type of activity. We will shortly have a large volume of people in this project, and Steemit as this is a unique community with resources at the ready, will be deluged with solicitations for all kinds. How do we deal with the scammers who are sure to come? The best community standards should be basic, clear, and with few exceptions. My initial suggestions for guidelines are in the link provided above, and I am sure there are many other valid approaches. I look forward to the community giving this issue some serious attention.

I know thedashguy, I believe him when he says he was working on the same idea the same week as me that week, he took long to execute so decided to post unofficial version. I'm cool with it. Steemit is greater than any one post or person.

And...there's also no problem that more people do billboards. It will only grow steemit. The problem is more if there's scams out there. It's also not really an efficient crowdfunding model as half of the 75% will go to steempower...
