Good for them. I've been watching them quietly working hard, and it has been like that for a while now. Good luck! Hopefully some projects that make security completely invisible come about from this.

"We have a new goal: to bring public key crypto to everyone in the world, even people who don't understand it."

Love the vision, guys. Huge congrats! Looking forward to seeing this one unfold.

Congrats! Increasingly pessimistic as a British subject that I'll ever be able to use something like this without attracting the attention of my own government though.

This is an amazing pursuit, and I wish you guys the absolute best! Unfortunately, I think public adoption of encryption will continue to be a problem until there is absolutely no barrier -- both in knowledge and UI design -- between the average user and encryption. This is a huge step in the right direction though!

Maybe you'll be okay in the UK?

Still avoiding the UK like the plague right now...
