While I agree with much of Daniel's analysis, that part was actually the most compelling of all the arguments against convergence.io, except for the part about okTurtles/dnschain accepting multiple passwords which decrypt the same cyphertext to different data sets, because http://xkcd.com/538/
And that part is more than compelling enough for me to remain convinced that okTurtles/dnschain is superior to Convergence.
I enjoyed the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7Wl2FW2TcA video because I used to sit 10 meters from Kipp Hickman at Netscape when he was adding certificate authorities to SSL. I remember him joking about it in the hallway, right next to the letter from the NSA which said Netscape would be in trouble if they didn't comply with various demands which someone had pinned up across from Dan Mosedale's cube. Five years later I was reviewing CALEA compliance documents at Cisco. I wonder what Mosedale wants to do for DNS these days.
