He said that since I have a Mac and cannot establish a secure connection, there would be no deal.

I didn't say no deal. I just haven't contacted you for a few weeks, mainly because I been busy trying to find a person I could hire to help me implement the designs. But there is also some truth to that I am hesitant to tell you anything because you refuse to implement strong security procedures.

If I really need money, I will have no choice. And of course no developer should say he is not appreciative of investment that he needs to complete a project. At this time, I have enough cash (and other commitments from those who are willing to follow more secure methods of communication), if it is only me who is working on the project.

I might have needed more investment pronto had I needed to pay the compensation for a mathematician or programmer. Several times I thought I almost had someone to work with but it seems there are not many people in the world these days who have all the necessary attributes:

Qualified in math and or programming (actually many people claim to program but it doesn't mean they are any good)
Know how to work efficiently in a small team, subjugate their ego, and work for a delayed gratification with some risk dependent on their performance.
Willing to implement proper computer security such as an air-gapped Linux computer and a separate Linux computer to be internet facing on for the project which is not used for other activities. Also including knowing how to base64 encode and decode files to send them over Bitmessage, how to checksum check, encrypt and decrypt with 7zip so that Bitmessage files aren't fully decrypted on the internet facing machine, knows how to never open a PDF file, etc, etc, etc,
Is as dedicated as I am, because they take Martin Armstrong's predictions as seriously as I do, including but not limited to a war, economic collapse, and pandemic mad max coming 2018ish. And a Little Ice Age coming 2030ish which will decimate northern climates. I doubt many people are thinking about the mass starvation and open sores on the bodies of most people that is coming.

rpietila your computer security is inadequate for me to tell you anything and have myself retain any anonymity from the NSA. Everything I tell you is recorded by the NSA, because you don't care. I understand that is your choice. And I understand that if I have a choice, I would choose not to tell you anything for that reason. If I end up having no other choice, then I will have to decide whether to just quit or to allow everything I say to you to be recorded. With all the problems I already have in my life, you add more problems. But it is also potentially possible there ends up a situation where you rescue the project from cash flow failure. But I remain very adamant that people should be able to do computer security if they are serious about anonymity.

It may be very important for you to share those insights with us.

Releasing them as a product the soonest would be the best. It is not ideal having good ideas laying around unimplemented. Also it increases the chances they could be lost.
