Your lack of cryptographic knowledge is showing. ??This technique is
called "stretching" and is used to slow down brute force attacks.

- Whatever you call that dude, it won't bother me at all, you can copy-
paste all your cryptographical terms here, it's free. I rather don't
go off-topic or repeat things over and over again just to show to the
world that I'm an expert of SHA-0, SHA-1, 256, 384, 512 huh! You can
go over the past posts to see how a brute force attack is just not
enough to break the iotp.

Your ignorance of the purpose of cryptographic stretching is noted.
Such ignorance only confirms that your advice on the quality of
cryptographic software is worth precisely what we are paying for it.

I disagree. Someone might listen to him, in which case it is worth large
negative values.
