As Crimson said, there are many one-way crypts that can be done on data. One-way meaning the data is encrypted and it is IMPOSSIBLE to decrypt it. This is what RG will do with your serial before it is sent anywhere. We then get a scrambled version of your serial that looks nothing like your real one, but that scrambled version can still be used to do comparisons against ones in a banlist etc.

Please read a book or google search on Cryptography and one-way algorithmns before you call us liars. We really have no interest in stealing your $9 serial number, I promise.

As for the whole "oh no im installing an application on my computer that *could* do bad things etc etc etc", umm its that way with ANY application. Every windows update you install, everything you download from the internet, etc. The question is do you trust the source, and are they accountable for any problems. While we cannot make you trust us, we certainly promise that RG is both secure and does not steal anything from you. While the system itself is fairly complex, individual components of the system are relatively simple. There is no chance of something going "wrong" and accidentally deleting your hard disk or anything like that.

I suggest that you take the normal precautions when installing RG that you would with anything you download from the internet, but speculating on the bad things that any program you install could do, will only make you worry yourself to death Smile


first, i never called you a liar. second, i didn't know that you guys weren't setting up the encryption yourselves.
as for the things i download from the internet, i rarely download anything unless i know the source and how to seek recourse from that source if something goes wrong i.e. reputable businesses with published contact points.
i'm also not worried about anything going 'wrong' accidentally. i am simply stating that many people(including me) are putting their trust in a group of people they know only over the net if at all.

as i said before, i trust those i've been told about who are working on this but, i think it would be a good idea for you guys to offer some sort of real contact point for the possibly hundreds of people who will be downloading your product simply because a server message told them they have to.
