Super-good encryption seems to be something that is overkill. Obviously, a general flawed encryption scheme isn't good, hackers and states will collect it like crazy. I think what I'd like is a toolkit for DIY encryption that I could break it if I had to, that I accept that if someone smart SPECIFICALLY targets me they can break it with effort, but the general dragnets/sweeps won't work on. If the government wants the info, they can assign some cryptographer who can break it in a day or two on a single machine if they put eyes on it. Like here might be my personal encryption: Take some encryption scheme that can be cracked in a day (low bitrate DES or something) on a server. That I know how to break myself. Then maybe some one-off swap of the bit order or something that can be cracked if a human looks at it, but is so one-off that governments or crackers need to SPECIFICALLY target something. One of the things that would be great would obviously be hiding it in images and the like. There isn't a lot of guidance on this. IMO it's obviously better than unencrypted, and works in a lot of situations where X person is died, inheritor want to get to their Bitcoins but doesn't have the key. Inheritor knows from will to try X Y and Z to break it. So we either have AES-256, or you write your passwords on a paper in a safe deposit box. Can we have some guidance on options in the middle?
