A user that just got out of newbie jail calling me anything is quite rich. One may suspect this could be Luke-Jr sock puppet.

1. I am not a sockpuppet of Luke-Jr's.
2. Accusing core developers of having sock puppets and trolling is a stupid way to get anyone to take you seriously.
3. Putting core developers on your ignore list is a stupid way to learn anything.
4. My activity on bitcointroll says absolutely nothing about my knowledge or experience with bitcoin, its community or cryptography in general.
5. I didn't call you anything. I provided a link to the "accounts are not addresses" FAQ. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you read it, since my server logs show several accesses between the time I posted the link and the time of your "sock puppet" comment.

If you want to develop usable software with bitcoin, you need to listen to the experts in the community. You need to understand how bitcoin works. You need to be aware of existing tools (especially those built into the reference client!), and follow the current development and research. You need to understand the cryptography involved and common pitfalls surrounding it.

Instead, you published cryptographic software which abuses bitcoin primitives to obtain cryptographic keys (using some random centralized service no less!), which you then use for purposes they weren't designed for, to do something which has already been done. You then admitted that you weren't familiar with ECC and didn't understand what bitcoin addresses were for, and despite this you personally attacked Luke and myself. This is not the behaviour of a responsible person, or someone who can be trusted to properly develop cryptographic software.
