          @aral @MacLemon I Read "Music producer" on @charliehilton and associated the FUD to my connection to @tpbdotorg. I don't talk to trolls. :)

          @brokep To me it looks like you're trying to cash in with the post-PRISM fear. No substance to backup your secure claims yet.

          @brokep @aral i don't think you're scam and it's a great initiative, but being able to assess the source ourselves is a must in this area.

          @aral @charliehilton @brokep would probably be avoiding transparency which is the ONLY way for security to be trustworthy.
