Like that one! MOST Kickstarters project are successful. A lot fail. Many of those fail due to incompetence, not scams.

I've only backed a handful of Kickstarter and Indiegogo projects over the years, for very little total money, but they have all succeed. The Tiko one still might (they've shipped about 3000 production units) but it's not looking good. Even if they fail, they have provided an entertaining and informative story over the past year and a half, which was worth it in itself.

ETA: By successful Kickstarters I mean those that deliver the rewards they promise after being successfully funded (9 out of 10 according to one report), not about the project itself being successfully funded in the first place. That's about 40%)
