Re: Is bitcoin v0.10's new libsecp256k1 safe & without mathematical backdoors?
99,9% of the people already have to believe every other piece of code of bitcoin because they (me too) lack the skills to review it themselves.
This, in my opinion, is one of the biggest hurdles for bitcoin technology to overcome.
But they don't have to believe _me_, even if they can't review it themselves they can choose anyone else who has (or pay someone to, or learn...).This, in my opinion, is one of the biggest hurdles for bitcoin technology to overcome.
Of course it's not about you personally, we all know you are highly credible
So in short it comes to the question if people want to have a free choice? (to find/pay/trust/learn the skills to review the code)
I'm sorry to go philosophical and might get marked as a troll but your simple one-liner made me think about this. (thanks for that, food for weeks!
)
