What do you think about that appcache solution to controlled updates?
You're convinced that the means justify the ends.
It is my opinion that even in nuclear controls system engineering, gastroenterological surgery, and appellate court law that being positive and supportive of your peers is probably a better approach than however you want to justify having zero sympathy for people.
Also, in my case I happen to be interested in creating something as life-threatening as a product for posting photos of cats to your friends all while having control over your digital identity/keys. I'm interested in the ecosystem of software applications that are based on open platforms and protocols like the web and driven my individual ownership of identities and data. It seems like a fun, liberating, creative and social way to make software!
I'll also hit the eject button because it is clear that you're only interested in conflict.
One place I have put my own time in is in teaching people how to do this. This site:
http://cryptopals.com/
... was preceded by more than a year of individual person-to-person email-based tech support in which thousands of people got several sets through these challenges, and almost a hundred finished.
I have zero sympathy for the people who are unwilling to put that time in, have their feelings hurt when they stumble trying to get their own systems working, and then complain of a "toxic culture" in cryptography. That "toxic culture" takes its place alongside the toxic cultures of nuclear controls system engineering, gastroenterological surgery, and appellate court law.
I have no idea whether this describes you or not, because your comment started out by asking me to look at a technical problem, then attempting to rebut a statement I didn't make, then invoking the fiasco that is the Web Crypto API, before finally complaining about toxic cultures. I don't know where to start, and so I'm hitting the eject button.
