Where to write crypto?
If I want to go to a country outside the United States to write cryptographic code that will be freely distributable, what's the best place to go?

Or, on the other hand, is there no way that a U.S. citizen can legally do this?

Thats not clear. The ITARs seem, on their face, to create a prior restraint on speech based on its content, and forbid Americans the right to leave the country to pursue their livlihoods. The odds of geting persecuted seem pretty low. As to the (predictable) comment that I'm not doing this, I'd be happy to entertain offers of crypto work that are not in the US, possibly leading to me being a test case.
