I'm not terribly familiar with this, so I don't what know the average toxicity of the feedback they have received is. Maybe it's unhelpful. But there is a reason that their critics are like that. If they are just learning and want nice and supportive criticism, then they need to present their project in that way, not as serious software. If it were a paint program then no one would care. With something like this, the stakes are too high to just give them a pass.

Yes, that's exactly the problem. It's not even relevant that it's crypto software vs paint software, what matters is that it's crypto software being presented as something that should be used by the public. Nobody cares if you tinker with crypto in your bedroom. You can even toss it on github and ask for feedback on it if you want. Hell, if you want to put the security of your own data at the mercy of the software you write, go right ahead. What you can't get away with is claiming to build a useful crypto product when you don't even have the first clue what that entails.
