@cryptopathe Presumably you then have 1000 security disasters, half using standard crypto and half not. You think this is a new experiment?

@sasha_crypto @cryptopathe Re Salsa20 > AES: Subjective maybe, but I'm inclined to believe it all the same.

@ciphergoth @sasha_crypto In practice, people tend to use standardized algorithms, which is a good security practice.

@cryptopathe Using standards is "good security practice"? Really? Using standard RSA-512 in 1998? Standard MD5-based certificates in 2008?

@hashbreaker To the first 500, ask them to use standard crypto. Say nothing to the other 500.
