... and a comment about how a few test vectors is not a serious cryptographic audit.
So it seems that the parent agrees with you, and nobody told anyone to stop doing what we're doing. The thing we (well, I; I don't want to put words in tqbf's mouth) did say repeatedly, is "the answer is still libsodium". It seems like that, too, is something you agree with.

- lvh 10y agoWhich patronizing statement? Is "it needs to be made clear..." patronizing? Surely asking why you'd want to use something is reasonable.
