The point of my allowing through a post like this is to let interested
parties know about the contest, not generate a discussion. I've let
through a few of the obligatory snake oil posts. It's good to see that so
many readers keep up on their Schneier.

I can't argue with the idea the product is snake oil, or that the contests
are a bad idea, or that they don't prove anything. (Well, not quite
true... if it is broken, then it is proved that it is broken. Otherwise,
it not being broken doesn't prove anything.)

I intend to allow announcement of other similar contests here in the
future. I consider it to be on-topic. It's up to you whether you want to
participate or not.
