Hahahhaa, that's cute.

Had you EVER had a consulting gig you'd know that customers cut corners
in EVERYTHING. Crypto is no exception.

Wait, every message uses the same key? Do you have a salt per message?
 How do you prevent replays?

This still doesn't address the user who uses "ade" as their password
because it's easy to type in one a phone ;-)

My "insults" as you put it stop at the same time your shananigans
[can't believe I used that word] stop. Your actions become no less
valid or appropriate just because you protest the negative reaction it
attracts.

The difference is I donate stuff of value to the community. At
**BEST** you're discussing a PRODUCT of value. The reality though is
it's a product of no value because it totally sidesteps proper key
negotiation.

People rag on me because they're sick of me talking about my free
projects which help thousands upon thousands of people. They're just
jealous because while they've wasted away their youth doing drugs,
veging in front of tv or playing some stupid MMORPG I taught myself
mathematics and cryptography.

Let's see you donate five years of your life to the public domain and
then see how well you adjust to having no-names come out of the dark
and rag on you.

Clearly you're just too good to think on your own. I mean if you had
any business savvy you would have ended this discussion 1200 posts ago.

I don't need to tear you down. That's just sport at this point.
