miniLock URL in README.md is unhelpful #6

Open peterkaminski opened 5 years ago

There is a miniLock link at the bottom of README.md:

[https://minilock.io/ ](https://t.co/E9tglv4WZ4)

The content at minilock.io seems unhelpful, and either or both of these destinations might be more appropriate:

It appears that @kaepora's minilock.io domain was lost or poached late last September. The last valid internet archive of it is September 15th: https://web.archive.org/web/20180915100358/https://minilock.io/ and the last commit in the repo was 2015. The Chrome extension also appears to be missing from the Chrome store.

Here is a PDF about it: https://web.archive.org/web/20141027141719/https://minilock.io/files/HOPEX.pdf

and a nice file format reference: https://45678.github.io/miniLock-file-format/2.html along with some related minlock repos at https://github.com/45678?tab=repositories

There does some to be a command-line implementation of it by http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/mlock/en/mlock.php with code at https://gitlab.com/saalen/mikrolock but I doubt it was audited.

I've also been playing around with minisign, but it only signs files:

For now I'm replacing the minilock link in README.md with the archive.org version of it, but keeping this issue open until I find more definitive answers if minilock is deprecated or just not supported.
