Duplicacy: cross-platform cloud backup tool based on lock-free deduplication

As long as 'free for personal use' means 'closed source' then at least I would have a hard time trusting a tool backing up personal files into public cloud storage without transparency about how the crypto is implemented. I suspect that may also be the case for much of your 'personal use' target audience.

Since most HN commenters are concerned about the source code availability, we'll definitely reconsider the licensing model.

Please do!

The product & tech looks very promising. I'd hate to have to cross it off my shortlist due to trust issues.

A thought: Do you think people would pay collectively (given the chance) like a fundraiser to publish the source, when a certain limit is reached? Maybe even pay the developer's bills that way? I wonder..
