This is awesome, it even looks like the "funding bar" graphic breaks when it gets to 100%...

Brilliant.

Not sure that's on purpose. The inner DIV is set to 106.08% width. Seems they are 106% funded.

Is there actually any 3rd party ala kickstarter verifying the donations? Or is this number similar to those of political campaigns and their online fundraising self-reporting?

    We are using Stripe to host/power the billing aspects of join.app.net. In the very near
    future I will ask an impartial 3rd party take a look at our data (while preserving all
    privacy of our backers) and publicly verify that the join.app.net was operated in an honest
    manner.

I'm saying he probably didn't care that it would break in that case.
