mircea_popescu: and if we know for a fact you're alone, the advice is entirely correct.
mircea_popescu: quite so.
mircea_popescu: writing own crypto [especially if done by the typically ustardian aloneman, a la shaun bridges etc] is bound to crash in the local maxima problem discussed a minute ago.
mircea_popescu: well, the advice is in general correct.
mircea_popescu: all that jazz.

mircea_popescu: myeah.
mircea_popescu: ofcourse, they're mostly doing their own people, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: so far the usg is like 3-0 for "kidnapped, murdered and extorted keys"
