I wish you luck with your Galaxy paper, and hope it works out for you, but the fact remains that this KS was promoted inaccurately and misleadingly: Witness the number of people in both this thread and a similar one at APUG who were angry and disappointed when the facts were made clear - not by Galaxy, but by forum members.
Ah, debates about ones use of words. But the truth is if I wanted to say folks were 'nitpicking' I would have used that word. And, it so happens I agree with you that the creators of this campaign should have included a paragraph carefully explaining the difference between Ilford's DP paper and the paper they envisioned. I of course, was quite thrilled when I confirmed with the creators that this paper could be used, with regular paper developers, as a negative. I had often wished that Ilford would make a special high speed, low contrast paper specifically designed to be used in camera as a negative. Only time will tell if this paper fills that need.
Re: Galaxy paper offered for direct positive processing
Paper arrived today, with basic development instructions, all at 20C/68F. What wasn't included was any specific information on chemicals, what to use or where to buy them. So I guess the paper will sit in my cabinet for a while.
It's a basic develop, bleach and tone process.... but with exactly what, not sure. And you need a dark red safe light (Wratten filter #29 or better). Amber not sufficient.

which makes me nervous that it will entail some convoluted process with smelly chemicals that are highly temperature sensitive -
making the whole process too much of a pain in the ass to attempt

Someone posted an image made with this paper on Reddit a few days ago:

Re: Galaxy paper offered for direct positive processing
Got mine on Friday
checked out the developing instructions
whelp... it's gonna sit
I wish there was an electric processor available..like the ones for RC or Stab paper - then I could set it all up in a gallery say..shoot /process/staple to wall....all in 10 minutes
now that would rule..if it's gonna take this much trouble to develop...I might as well shoot film
