This repo should be taken private after this giveaway is over

Absolutely ageed on this one!
@xeoth As you don't really understand about encryption, here's a simple video to you and anyone who thinks the same to watch: http://bit.ly/2wijk5R
@kseikyo In the video, he didn't say it can't be done, he said we're far away from it happening, but this repo might still exist in 50 years, when it can be.
@kseikyo I'm no expert on encryption or quantum computing, and chances are you are neither, so let's just leave this debate hanging on a question: Even if the possibility of someone getting the private key is extremely low, would you be okay with having your personal info (even encrypted) publicly available?
If you have seen the code, they use the default values for RSA encryption on keygen, which is the 128 bit equivalent. I'm not here to debate, just don't want to help disinformation spreading.
I agree if you want to be extra cautious you should make it private, nothing against that. I'm just saying that this information, apart from the address, is probably out there for anyone to get anyway.
Not getting into any debates, but someone doing some OSINT and finding addresses of 500ish people which are from 50 years ago... sounds really mindboggling :P

I was gonna say that people would probably already be living somewhere else, but I don't think it would be enough for that guy, someone COULD POSSIBLY have his address.
There's also the issue if somebody kidnaps me and puts a gun to my head... I think I would just give them the private key in that scenario.
I will delete the repo after the stickers go out next week. 💣
👀
Stickers still not received and repo still not deleted...
