​I have a snakeoil crypto scoring scheme.

Any mention of 'keyless' 10 points
Any claim of 'strength' greater than 2^256, 10 points
Any claim of 'mathematically unbreakable', 20 points
​Any mention of One Time Pads, 50 points
Pretty Web site entirely devoid of actual technical content, 20 points.

Looks to me like a home grown stream cipher which may or may not be
trivially insecure and will almost certainly fail on analysis.
