That math is being implemented in front of a global audience of millions of sophisticated watchers. It is likely the most examined codebase in the world. It has been subjected to multiple public audits. The math, well known and widely standardized, will work for everyone, or it will not, whoever pays the bills." What a piece of dishonest garbage. Now it turns out that all software is 'math' so it either 'works' or not? All the usual problems with government funded activities magically go away because "it's math". Wow. The stupid is overwhelming. "millions of sophisticated watchers" LOL - I wonder how many people actually reviewed tor's source? 10? 50? Or maybe 0? The funny thing with these zealots is that they are way more brazen and full of shit than even the tor developers.
