RE: Hive Keychain Independent Audit Proposal

[jacobtothe]

A couple semi-hostile questions in anticipation of a real proposal, so you can head them off:

1. Who are you, anyway, and why should we care? Why would the community support and trust your audit specifically?

2. What is the state of the Hive Keychain code? Is it open-source, and if not, could it be better to make the Hive Keychain code open-source for better community audits, perhaps after an initial audit as you propose?

I am Marky. I've built a reputation here, that I believe speaks for itself, love or hate it.

Why would the community support and trust your audit specifically?

Someone should do it, it has been left undone for far too long. It should be someone with no ties or incentive from the original team. I have neither.

What is the state of the Hive Keychain code?

It is open source but unreviewed (as far as I know).

In my opinion, it is highly used and if something were to go wrong could potentially cause catastophic results.

Yes, I can verify that Marky is well known and has a substantial reputation on Hive.

I may not agree with him all the time but he certainly knows his code.

[jacobtothe]

I know who he is. I've been supporting him as witness for ages.

I know this. I would hope others do. But it's something you still should note in any official proposal. At least a couple lines.

... if something were to go wrong could potentially cause catastophic results.

Agreed. I think it is worth the effort.
