I think the "ambitions" you're ascribing to them are based on your own interpretation of events. They sought a little seed money (what was it? $4k?) to try to do something pretty cool. They happened to do it at just the right time and rode a wave of publicity and enthusiasm. Now people like you are saying, well they should have planned it better. Well, they should have released a more mature project before begging for handouts. Well, they should have let security experts do it. They didn't plan this. But they're giving it a shot. Haters gon' hate.
