bitcoin's full transparent encryption

What is that supposed to be?
No idea? But I would resist forced decryption or "back dooring" software with all my might. If we loose encryption we loose everything.
"Trump argued vehemently that Apple should help investigators crack the phones encryption system"
F-ing Nazi.
Two things:
1) I believe (could be wrong) that the FBI wants access to iPhones when there is a
court order. The iPhone in question was used by a San Bernardino terrorist. Apparently (?) the FBI cannot get in... With a court order, I have no problem with the FBI on that. Apple should be allowed, however, to encrypt however they want. Look at what happened to CISCO (losing the confidence of overseas customers) once they gave away their encryption keys to .gov.
Note that the FBI/Apple issue NOW is this case, not a BACKDOOR (allowing an easy automatic system for .gov to get in).Unfortunately what they want would jeopardize
every iPhone. There is no breaking just one phone, it's all or nothing.
2) The time will be coming soon when each of us may have to (or want to) do some encryption of our own. Different means of encryption would make it harder for our privacy to be invaded.
IMO, that time is here. I only buy unlocked phones then use strong encryption. Tools like surespot are awesome!
