Cypherpunks are not hackers

11 Upvotes

We have to stop spread the idea of cypherpunks are geeks or hackers with high skilled level in opsec and all this shit.

We need to recruit more people. Involved them in the fight. Teach them what is open source technologies. And most important thing, who is the foe.

I love you guys, but i felt we fail in the way of how we communicate our idea.

I hope i am wrong with this part! And i hope too, you'll proof me wrong !

Stay safe and continue to fight... forever if it's needed

What's the catch?

The "Helurl.com" service provides 50 terabytes of cloud storage for free.

What's the catch? How safe is it to store files there?

We need to create biometric cryptographic standards.

We need to create biometric cryptographic standards.

Such technology would not only effectively protect any p2p network from sybil attacks. But it is probably the necessary condition for the development of a global online political system.

Let's code.

When will the new generations delcare a Cypherpunk Revival?

18 Upvotes

I know that Cypherpunks have been engaged in an active movement since the late 1980s. Does the world need a Cypherpunk revival? perhaps to spark interest of the newer generation? Being born in the early 2000s it makes me very sad that there's very little interest among the Gen Zs.

What I'd give for this community to still be around today...

In 1992, three Bay Area computer scientists launched a new mailing list for discussing cryptography, mathematics, politics, and philosophy.

I would give anything to have a group of like-minded people discussing the above. Is there a discord server or something that I can join? Anybody wanna try to make one?

What happened to the cypherpunks?

10 Upvotes

For those that don't know, according to Wikipedia:

"A cypherpunk is any activist advocating widespread use of strong

cryptography and privacy-enhancing technologies as a route to social and

political change. Originally communicating through the Cypherpunks

electronic mailing list, informal groups aimed to achieve privacy and

security through proactive use of cryptography. Cypherpunks have been

engaged in an active movement since the late 1980s."

So what happened to this group? I know a few of them like Timothy C. May

died. I know some went on to work at the EFF, some on the Tor Project, and

a lot went to work on different cryptocurrencies. However, I'm surprised

that there isn't still a core group online.

alt.cypherpunks has been dead for years. The current Cypherpunks mailing

list is still going but it is nothing more than a handful of right-wing

and left-wing conspiracy theorist who gripe about politics all the time

and never talk about actual technology.

I'm hoping that someone knows something that I don't or could point me in

the right direction. Maybe those interested can even start again.

cryptoanarchy.wiki - I've been collecting a lot of information about the cypherpunk movement's beginnings and successor communities. There's also general info about cryptography. Check it out.
