Selling point, what do you mean? This is an experiment! It would be fun 
if somebody could bust it wide open. Where they don't need a damn 
password, the ciphertext is all they need. That would be fun to learn 
about. Advertising campaign as in I need it to be properly examined 
before it can be used at all. Forever experimental it shall be.

:^)

A compromised secret password is bad. I was just interested if I could 
create different ciphertexts for the same plaintext and password, as an 
experiment. See?
