USB was supposed to rule them all but it's now a mess of standards sharing the same connector. Different speeds, voltage, charging protocols, alt modes, even the number of pins used is variable.... For those asking, the thing is available on Kickstarter

Why?

90% of the projects are scams and have been for years.

There's only one thing I can think of that actually succeeded out of Kickstarter, and that's the Pebble watch. Still the best smartwatch ever made imo

Eh, I have a few things from Kickstarter that were successful. Exploding Kittens is probably the most successful one of all the ones I own.

Oh, I didn't know that started on Kickstarter
