[liberationtech] CryptoParty Handbook

[Yosem Companys]

I think Jacob has some issues about the CryptoParty Handbook.  As he
noted on Twitter:

"The #CryptoParty handbook is really unimpressive and fraught with
peril. A good idea and a nice effort but ultimately quite dangerous."

Would love to hear why.

Thanks,

Yosem
