Clearly, think of the marketing advantages possible if everyone
does that.

Ok, I would like to post some sample encrypted text from my new
super-whizzbang (it also julienne's fries) crypto application,
which is written in MACRO-11 assembler and runs in a PDP-11 emulator
for the Commodore 64. There will be no need of course to post
the code for it, since nobody will happen to have a MACRO-11
assembler or linker in the first place, much less an emulator
to run it on the C64. The algorithm is complicated, and will
only work in this environment, because it happens to take
advantage of a bug in the emulator that just so happens to
permute the data in a fashion that aids the encryption. No
other solution will work. With full knowledge of this, I have
been buying up every functioning C64 I can get my hands on
world-wide to corner the market on providing this fantastic
solution to the world at a very attractive price.

I would appreciate it if after I post, absolutely zero people make
any comments about it whatsoever for a period of at least 6 months.

After this time period has expired, I can put a press release
indicating that it was "Presented to the World's Elite Crypto
Community for Public Review for a period of six months without
a single weakness or break exposed. If it's good enough for
them, it must be good enough for you."
