Most of you guys care more about PP/lewts then your bank account info, so the points moot.
Best post on this whole thread.

To be fair, most of your replies in this thread as well as the official explanation are NSA-level in response to the Snowden revelations.

You and the staff have provided some good insight, and the people appreciate your engagement on it.

But you ultimately shrug responsibility for power a .dll like this can provide and demand blind faith and trust in who has access to the data and who can manipulate the data.

Without a 3rd party being allowed to examine the code and determine whether it can be used maliciously, or outlining who is given access and when aka more detail oversight assurance etc., all due respect, you are essentially just blowing smoke and sweet nothings like the NSA.

Just saying.

I believe you that it doesn't do anything malicious. However, it's completely reasonable to be suspicious of it. I don't see any supporting arguments for your case.

There are not many people who can do this. This expectation is absurd and makes you look silly.

I don't understand why this shouldn't be open sourced. I mean it is trivial to reverse it anyway, right? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I guess if you don't take them at their word and don't want to check the code yourself then your only option is to stop playing P99. They aren't changing the DLL.

I hope you're just being stupid on purpose like the other guy.
