> Writing a security critical code base like that is not something everyone could or should do

I mean... Why not? I know roll your own crypto is bad, but _someone_ has to do it. Might as well be you! Do it in the open, get feedback, attract high skill people to contribute to it and... Tadam! Cool codebase!

I can't shake the feeling that making crypto as this magical thing people show ldnnot dream of is doing a disservice to us all.
