So, what you are saying is that you want crypto to protect yourself from government intrusion, but are unwilling to actually WRITE the code for fear that the government will lock you up.
That's about right. I will write the code for myself. I will not release it since I'm in the U.S. and it gives the thugs one more reason to come after me. That job is better suited for somebody who is outside the U.S. or is actually willing to sit through a long grand jury investigation, possible indictment, trial, conviction, jail time, and life as a convicted felon.
Cleanse it of your identity (or start a pseudonym if you need the ego boost), and get it to hacktic. PD/BSDL/GPL the code, and go. Use the tools to "free" yourself. If the law is bad, ignore it whenever possible. This is a very ignorable law. -- petro@playboy.com----for work related issues. I don't speak for Playboy. petro@bounty.org-----for everthing else. They wouldn't like that. They REALLY Economic speech IS political speech. wouldn't like that.
