What's interesting is that the creator of Cryptocat, Nadim Kobeissi (who has no problem with the media introducing him as "cryptographer" or "security researcher") commented the following last year to journalists when asked about an issue with MEGA's (mega.co.nz) encryption:
“It’s a nice website, but when it comes to cryptography they seem to have no experience,” says Nadim Kobeissi, a 22-year old cryptographer and creator of the secure chat software Cryptocat, who began poring over the public portions Mega’s code as soon as it debuted over the weekend. “Quite frankly it felt like I had coded this in 2011 while drunk.” (see: http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenbe ... -promises/)
Perhaps he was on drugs when he coded Cryptocat...
