thestringpuller: If you want clear evidence of the insanity, the Apple Store requires that you register with govt if your app uses any crypto (including https, some people ignore that but some have written blog posts about trying to follow the rules) UNLESS your app is for banking/financial transactions, then you are exempt from registering and providing algos, code, descriptions, etc of your app's use of crypto.
