#2Just watched the demo video on https://www.demonsaw.com/documentation.php
This is not user friendly software. It's geek friendly certainly, but not user friendly.

#3It's closed source (i'm not asking for FOSS, just being able to compile myself) and there is a business behind it.
It talks about protecting my privacy. Tell me how I should believe that.

Yeah. It claims to be "secure", but then gives us no way of verifying that for ourselves. I bet they "take the privacy of our data seriously" too. Pass.

According to the FAQ:
>Is demonsaw going to be Open Source?
>This was the question that I was most asked at Defcon. Demonsaw's foundation is built off of DemonCrypt, which is open-source and available for free on GitHub (MIT License, also developed by me). Demonsaw itself builds upon DemonCrypt's functionality and creates a graphical interface for users.
I can't find that repository though (this is the closest thing I could find: https://github.com/eijah/demonsaw).

From a security point of view, "partially open source" is no better than "closed source".

#8Slightly related, one day after the Demonsaw release party with John McAfee: http://gawker.com/john-mcafee-arrested-while-armed-and-high-...
> The shootout with the police was highly exaggerated and in fact no one was even hit by a bullet, let alone harmed by one. The Police knew me and I don’t believe their hearts were truly in the shootout, as it is not included in the official report. When I ran out of ammunition, I surrendered quietly and the officers and my self had a cigarette together and joked about my bad aim.

I agree, however if the lib is indeed open source (which I'm not sure of), then it should be easier to create a fully open source clone.

#10I would've been much more inclined to take this seriously had the testimonials not all been from John McAfee. After all he's been in the news for in the past few years, I'd treat a promotion by him as more harmful than helpful.
