You are a charming and energized speaker and perhaps that is why Tim Draper thinks you a good investment as with others he has made. Acronyms like 'PTSD' and 'PARTY' in the project is likely good at attracting people who think they sound fun and do not question many details.

It is difficult to get brief clear details about how gun.js works. There are distracting or simple documents, discussions about high level ideas and tangentially-related topics. In some cases 'worse is better' yes but it sets a tone that the project is hiding internal problems of implementation or can not easy explain its own design.

The transparency of gun.js enterprise organizations also raises questions. Are people on your team related to you? Do you pay yourself and team and open source contributors?
