Why yes, you're right, poor code hygiene and poor documentation hygiene does matter. We finally agree.

It doesn't matter. The install was broken as was written. That's poor hygiene.

Brand new, clean install of npm.

Poor code + doc hygiene is the problem here.

The install errors out after following two basic install commands. This is poor code hygiene on the part of the authors. That's "not ready for primetime" in my book.

Doesn't seem ready for prime-time. I'll be impressed when it actually installs.

You’re not going wrong. For the most part, blockchain is snake oil, at least in how it’s positioned.

No, they are all entirely reasonable questions. Yeah, they might require lawyers to answer - tough shit. Understanding the legal landscape that ones' product lives in is part of a company's responsibility.

I truly don't think they can guarantee that. Which is a massive concern.

@Nat, these questions (all of them, not just the 2 you answered) are critical for anyone who is considering using this system. Please answer them?

I for one wouldn't touch this with a 10000' pole until I know the answers to these (very reasonable) questions.
