So the Tor, Bitcoin, libOTR, pidgin/adium, encfs, luks, openssl, openssh, openvpn, truecrypt & recent PGP devs (not counting the crypto-as-muntions early days) fear this too?

The ones that have been harassed in my memory is the Cryptocat dev and Winny. Don't mark your software as having a political purpose and more of a general tool and I think you'll have less harassment in your future.



The TrueCrypt devs certainly appear to.


Can you be less cryptic on this? Unless you are a TrueCrypt dev, in which case you are allowed to.


The TrueCrypt devs are unknown, operating under anonymity.


Wow I didn't know that, thanks.


Yep, it's rather concerning, as nobody knows who they are. They haven't even said why they don't want to be known, as far as I know.
