lack of transpancey
#1
First off I apologize for creating this thread, but the one mentioning this topic (why closed source?) had been closed, and a very important aspect had not been discussed there. Transparency.. Nor was any real answer provided.

I have been using oclhashcat for a while, wrote a tutorial a while back even (which seems to have been spread far and wide). However I am rather concerned with the proprietary approach. After reading the original thread and it's responses, I am now even more concerned. http://hashcat.net/forum/thread-2699.html

Decisions are generally motivated by something, in this case its not money (everything is free regardless) nor does it seem to be advancing the project, otherwise it would have been open source from day one. A thousand minds are better than 3, even if 900 of them have gone full retard..

With the current information that has been provided, the only rational explanation is some sort of agenda, e.g its doing something you don't want users to know about.. (bum buddies with the NSA perhaps?)

Please feel free to clear this up, but keep in mind, source speaks a lot louder than words.
