PrivateBin is a minimalist, open source online pastebin where the server has zero knowledge of pasted data. Data is encrypted / decrypted in the browser using 256bit AES in Galois Counter mode.

    From my point of view, I wouldn’t consider “minimalist” a web application that requieres javascript just for pastebin functionality. I guess you need js for password, encrypting and formating, although I haven’t read the code to verify that, but, having those features, I wouldn’t call this software minimalist. Although, I guess js is necessary for true privacy, then it would be minimalist considering the software’s goals?.

    Also, when I used it, I tried to get the text using curl (something, imo, I would consider easy to do on a minimalistic pastebin), but I’m not sure if I ever got to successfully get the text, it was just so hard. I might have gotten the text sometime with some too long curl arguments, but I can’t remember now. Maybe that is no longer the case, though. For this sole reason, I have ended up using alternatives to privatebin, I will not mention here, that work really easily with curl.

    If it is possible to somehow use privatebin without js and to easily use curl to retrieve text from privatebin, please, tell me and I will with no doubt convert my current pastebin instance to privatebin.
