Where do you draw the line? At one point, you have to accept that some projects require deep and context-specific knowledge. I can't be expected to be handheld if I dive deep into some math libraries without knowing the prerequisites. And if I do anyway, it's up to me to figure out at least the basics on my own.

The README has the examples and explanations you're looking for, they're just using the language common in the peer-to-peer ecosystem, as it's a peer-to-peer library/cli/daemon.

...which is kind of what is being complained about by GP. I'm not going to pretend that anyone who can actually read this readme has enough expertise in p2p networking to remake bifrost (obviously it's quite a thing, if it does what it says it does) but at a glance it certainly feels that way.
