21. BIG CAVEAT
BECAUSE WE HAVE MOVED TO A NEW CROWDFUNDING
PLATFORM THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN TESTED WITH A LIVE
DEPLOYMENT, WE WILL NOT BE CERTAIN THAT THE
CROWDFUNDING BURST WILL BE TAKING PLACE UNTIL MID-
SEPTEMBER. IT IS POSSIBLE, ALTHOUGH UNLIKELY, THAT
THE CROWDFUNDING BURST MAY BE DELAYED OR
CANCELLED.
