Hey man, I loved that article, I read it a while ago. It seemed like it had a pretty simple takeaway: JS crypto by itself is laughable, and JS crypto on top of real crypto is pointless.

I do have a question though -- you say that 'you can deliver the JS crypto with SSL, but then it's irrelevant because the connection is secure,' so I'd like to know, what's your opinion of blockchain.info?

It adds JS crypto on top of SSL, and provides a signed browser extension, for reasons that seem to make sense given its use case.
