Zimmermann's Silent Circle Now Live 127

After a first day glitch with a late approval of their iOS app, the website seems to now accept subscriptions. Have any slashdotters subscribed? What does SilentCircle provide that previous applications didn't have?"

The "Silent Circle" uses their own "Silent Network", allowing centralized user tracking. Also, the code isn't open source, so you have no idea if the crypto key generation is any good or if there are backdoors.
I couldn't sign up going through my 3 proxies - the website timed out.
What?!? And let them know my IP?!?!
This could be a honey pot for the FBI or CIA or Illuminati!

Careful there. You're commenting on a story about "wanting to hide stuff" on a known gathering place for geeks and occasionally cyber-terrorists. You're in a database somewhere for simply being here.

Lastly and business case is based 100% on total security. If ever it leaked that there's any kind of backdoor it would all be for naught.
Lance Armstrong is innocent. His business case is based 100% on being a non-cheating cyclist: if it ever leaked that he'd taken any kind of performance enhancers, it would all be for naught.

Of course I don't drive an armored car with my Gold. The armored car is only used for the silver. The gold is transported by zepplin, for increased security.
