WARNING

"Thomas Asta" is a well known anonymous shill for the shitware known
as "goldbug".

You need to seriously search, research, evaulate, and audit
"goldbug", both on a code and "ethics" level, before giving it
any credence whatsoever. *Be warned*, at least as to ethics
and code development and community practices not limited
to binary reproduceability.
Ref: the cypherpunks list on this over many years.

With all due respect, it could be great software, however historical
evidence shows that you absolutely *must* prove that out before
even considering using it.

Nor should anyone ever forget that that rationale applies to all
and every of the most "trusted", "audited", "well known", "used
market share", and "vouched for" apps out there.
