Bitcoin isn't really the point. If they put up a site claiming to be about "crypto, security and privacy", but 80% of the posts they attract (or post themselves because they don't have critical mass) are on a single topic, then either it's really not about "crypto, security and privacy", or they're doing a really bad job building out the site. It's not like there isn't a whirlwind of activity in cryptography outside of hashes, nor a lack of security incidents to discuss.

And requiring JS? On a security site? Fail.



Creator of Cryptanalys.is here.

You raise a good point.

Perhaps I will make an all-text version of the frontpage for the ultra-security-minded user? Similar to the RSS feed: https://cryptanalys.is/rss.php (which isn't viewable at the moment due to an encoding error according to http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcry... )

Maybe a "retro" version of the homepage would be to your liking? Like this: http://retro.hackaday.com/

The site launched just a few days ago. I've been splitting my time the last few days between buying up marketing spaces and quickly skimming the crpyto/security world so the quality and depth of the articles certainly need some work, I agree.
