RE: The Fundraiser: A Concept for a Dapp/Widget/Feature/Something

It's a good idea, but you have to consider the implications of unfulfilled promises. This is always a issue on fundraising platform.
That's a good issue to raise.
Donations are closely tied to reputation and trust, which helps to limit scams, to some extent.
We also have escrow as a feature on the Steem blockchain and that could be leveraged. So instead of placing trust in the person receiving the donations, people can trust the escrow agent instead.
And that brings up a market for providing reputable and honest escrow and mediation services, which can earn the provider income based on the fees paid.
I must admit that I haven't yet studied Steem's escrow feature to be in a position to speak on its capabilities or limitations in depth, so I'll leave it at that :)
