By that logic, you can't know KeePass is safe without auditing Mono, your compiler, your checksum tool, the editor you used for the audit, the logic gates of your CPU, etc. Auditing anything is impossible. If you can't get a copy

I recommend OneShallPass ( http://oneshallpass.com ) over KeePass. It's open source and auditable like KeePass, but: 1) It doesn't have to be compiled or installed, since it's just a monolithic HTML page with all JS

I don't understand the practical need for Bitcoin mixers vs. simply mixing via existing exchanges. If Bitcoin goes into an exchange and Litecoin leaves a week later, nothing in either the Bitcoin or Litecoin blockchain would link the t

How are you dealing with the recent slowness of BTC transaction confirmations? Transactions can easily take over an hour now, especially if naive users don't understand how to set fees.

The problem with wrapping console.log is that you lose the ability to know what line number initiated the log entry. The line number Chrome gives for the log line will always be where you call console.log inside the wrapper, not the line wh

No company can possibly be expected to know exactly who they have information about, as would be needed to publish the disclosure you're talking about. On any web server, you have countless logged HTTP requests that are effectively anonymou
