Hey waitaminute, why does anyone need to specify the encryption key? I can understand why they would want to ask Tahoe to generate a random key instead of a content-hash-key (this speeds up the process because Tahoe doesn't need to read and hash the entire file in order to generate the key). But why does someone (Shawn, this means you) need to specify a chosen encryption key?
It is a very dangerous feature and the more I think about it the more reluctant I am to add it to the API that we'll have to support for the rest of time. Could we solve your needs some other way?
