Name and spelling

stanczyk is named after Stańczyk, a historical Polish jester. Other Crypto 101 projects (such as merlyn, arthur and clarent) were already named after things from the court of Arthurian legend; I picked Stańczyk because:

1. Poland is awesome.

2. This project looks simple, but it’s actually pretty clever; perhaps more than its peers.

3. Poland is awesome.

The banner is an excerpt from the famous painting of Stańczyk by Jan Matejko.
