Now I can’t buy anything on any websites because I don’t want to use my credit card number. I need a new credit card now and I understand that the most convenient way is to apply online but I don’t know whether is safe to use such websites as <a href="http://balances-transferfees.cn/discover-transfer-balance-card4245652.html" rel="nofollow">discover card balance transfer for life</a> A38ht6lm9 I was stupid enough to use my Social Security number when I was filling out one of the forms online.

There are other means to reward the crowd, and to offer such a tiny financial stake seems counterproductive. Anyone who would participate for the money would not be swayed by such a small and theoretical reward. Of course, I see the issue as you mentioned related to securities laws and how their hands are tied in certain ways. It will be interesting to see exactly how Crowdspirit handles the same issue. I love the Cambrian model and very much want them to succeed, but it seems they might want to stick with more of a Threadless style reward model (at least when it comes to financial incentives).
