Their bitcoin service to top up phones disappeared pretty quickly too and never came back, also their debit card service never happened. They used 'VouchX' which was run by a shady guy who disappeared after LR went pop so maybe th

I wrote replace GnuPG Assistant not GnuPG. I have never had a problem using command line gpg or GPA but seems millions of ppl can't figure it out so they don't use it, thus NSA wins. I also dont think cryptocat should replace it (

Good thing Satoshi wasn't scared of cryptography or we wouldn't have bitcoin. Also good thing the Truecrypt devs weren't scared of it, or the Debian devs, or the OpenBSD devs and others who gave us OpenSSH. Moxie Marlinspike

I went to DC in the 90s and almost everybody you ran into was doing something illegal, like the Shadowcrew guys and a team of motorola hackers I mainly hung out with. Almost every talk gave hommage to whatever current hacker was in prison o

I guess you failed to read the part where I was responding to somebody who basically said Syrians are too inferior to use computers, and that cryptography was only used by criminals. You are exactly the kind of CS professor I'm glad I

You are exactly the kind of self absorbed, reckless person crypto projects want to weed out, so it's great you take criticism personally and run off crying. No amount of hand holding or spoon feeding will make you understand it's

I noticed similar behaviour with the devs at Guardianproject (supposedly secure android apps). Noble project indeed, but some serious sloppy development. Moxie has been more than helpful to them in repeatedly showing that Gibberbot suffers
