Since we're discussing the logo a bit in here I thought I'd add my thoughts. I really like the idea of the cryptex, I think that could work well.
I'm kind of a minimalist, but I think it would work really well if it were somehow transformed into a flatter (perhaps just 2d?) image. I like the simple color scheme. General impressions -- I like the concept, I think it just needs to be simplified a bit to really fit as a web logo. It's great that we have people working on this!
