Well, generally this is not cracking forum, nevertheless there are some members that had nice achievements. So, don't expect deep discussion.
What I can say about Midas' programs is that the authors are almost paranoiacs and use several protection tools one on top of the other. So, lets say that it will take a long time for the "professionals" to solve the puzzle. Another thing is the closed circle that appears in software development, that the more protected is the software - the less users and popularity it has, and this leads to small demand. The small demand on a program makes it uninteresting for the crackers. Also the competition is very strong, and Midas has two problems: It is a new player compared to much older and popular "programs; and is not "white company" (meaning it is difficult to them to break in the Euro-American market. They tried to collaborate with TNO-Diana to compensate this.
In two words - the crackers prefer easy and popular programs. The users prefer popular and "...." programs. So, who cares about Midas? Maybe only those with itchy hands to play with something new, and to increase their software collection
