   This is the classic non-technical critique from people who blindly trust   
   closed-source software with ambiguous licenses while lecturing others   
   about privacy.   
      
   Let me address the technical illiteracy in your comment:   
      
   m2usenet is fully open source: https://github.com/gabrix73/m2usenet-go   
      
   You can:   
   - Audit every line of JavaScript before running it   
   - Host your own instance   
   - Verify the client-side crypto with browser dev tools   
   - Review the Ed25519 and Hashcash implementations   
      
   Compare this to your beloved Omnimix and similar systems with:   
   - Closed source binaries you run blindly   
   - Ambiguous licensing terms   
   - *"Trust us" security model*   
      
   m2usenet is transparent, auditable, and follows   
   cryptographic best practices.   
      
   If you have actual technical criticisms of the implementation, I'm   
   listening.   
   But "why client-side crypto" from someone who trusts closed binaries? Please.   
      
   The code speaks for itself. Unlike some systems.   
      
   Ed25519 signatures provide message integrity even with ephemeral keys -   
   basic cryptographic hygiene that apparently escapes you.
