I consider fundraising a part of trying. Without funding it's just not possible to do anything and maybe that's the reason why there are so many open points here.

With regard to your point on the business model. I've criticized exactly this in my comment. I think they need to put more work into this.

If people are willing to donate without a better understanding of their plans then I'm disproven (for now) and it's their right to do so :)
