I think it's a bad idea to use crypto from someone who just discovered Shamir's Secret Sharing (which practically guarantees that the system is going to be idiosyncratic) when PGP is available.

One sometimes wishes that developers who are so enthusiastic about helping get encryption deployed would focus instead on the UX for PGP/GPG, instead of developing new, broken cryptosystems.
