Quote from: holyfuckisuck on September 06, 2012, 01:17 pmWell, your explanations make sense to me and I think everyone here appreciates you taking so much of your time to respond in such depth.As GrahamGreene pointed out, I'm being slandered left and right here. I don't really have a choice except to make time.Quote from: holyfuckisuck on September 06, 2012, 01:17 pmAnyway, I think that your comparison to drug dealers is a little inconsistent because new vendors usually have to give out samples and/or provide proof that their products are safe such as reagent tests etc. in order to gain customers.The reagent tests, sure, but the samples can still be skipped just by accepting orders from new buyers until they've got some feedback to prove they're the real deal.Quote from: holyfuckisuck on September 06, 2012, 01:17 pmYou say you will give step by step instructions/explanations to purchasers but couldn't you hypothetically lie whenever you wanted to in that?Not with corroborating evidence from unimpeachable documentation (e.g. on python.org) that shows I'm not doing that.Quote from: holyfuckisuck on September 06, 2012, 01:17 pmSo again, I just don't think you've done enough to prove that your program is safe. I've posted the proof-of-concept shell script I first wrote earlier in this thread. It performs some of the same functions in a different way. It does not have all the features of SROPPy.Quote from: holyfuckisuck on September 06, 2012, 01:17 pmI can't think of anything better other than releasing it for free or handing it to people who could check it out(and these people may not exist on sr) but maybe someone can. The only person I'd really trust on here to do it properly is Guru and he's already said he doesn't know Python. I don't really trust kmfkewm, although I appreciate his posts. Still, that point is moot, because he's a Ruby guy and not a Python guy.I'm still waiting for Shannon to weigh in ... maybe.Quote from: holyfuckisuck on September 06, 2012, 01:17 pmHonestly I do doubt that it has any exploits and I don't really know enough about programming to judge everything in your posts so maybe everything in this thread is just paranoid ranting about exploits that really aren't plausible. But if it is at all possible it's better to stay safe though no?The problem here is that you're saying that my only choice is to give in to the will of others. That is not my definition of what it means to be libertarian.I may be relatively new to SR, but not this philosophy. Go back and read everything in GrahamGreene's comment, I agree with all of it. Then go and find one of DPR's posts and read the documents linked in his forum signature, especially SEK3's New Libertarian Manifesto (if you don't want to read it there's an audiobook of it on www.agorism.info).Quote from: holyfuckisuck on September 06, 2012, 01:17 pm"Now can you guess what happens after that?1) I will be proven right (eventually).2) We will discover that there really aren't as many people capable of auditing it properly as Pine might think.3) My "tip jar" in my signature will receive sweet fuck all and I can go back to the drawing board."Personally this would be my guess as well but in the end all I have at the moment is an educated guess and for me that isn't enough.So there we go; I can try to appease the demands of others by working for free or I can try to address as much of the security concerns as possible while participating in this market as it is intended.
