Would implementing some sort of build assurance thing like Tor have done recently help here? So if the government said "please put a back door for us", you could legitimately say "sorry, not possible without people noticing". That's an even better option than "crypto.cat is now closed, you may like to complain to the US government about that." Note that I haven't yet had a chance to read about the verified build stuff in any detail, and I'm not sure how easy it would be to verify such a build against what's on one of the browser extension / addon stores. So maybe I'm talking nonsense ;) -- Liberationtech list is public and archives are searchable on Google. Too many emails?
