cypherpunk
A channel for cypherpunks to share news, code, and strategies in the battle for strong individual privacy, permissionless self-sovereignty, and unlimited creative liberty.

Yesterday I saw “Nobody Wants to Talk About Jacob Appelbaum”
In it, I learned how COINTELPRO was used to destroy a community of cypherpunks
You can’t unsee it

Very happy to see this partnership.
More money for Tor, more legitimacy for crypto.
Funds here go to Tor-adjacent projects (OnionShare, SecureDrop, etc.)
Go donate!

The EFF is the one charity I've donated the most to over the course of my life.
I stopped donating after their actions were no longer defensible under their own founding principles. (Yes, I am of course referring to the Roman Storm case here.)
Sad to see this trend continue further.

A blockchain-backed PGP key exchange is one of those crypto use cases that actually make sense. They're also the type of projects that would help crypto's reputation in the broader cypherpunk sphere.
But such projects aren't sexy and don't have a shiny revenue model, so they get neglected.
Happy to see this changing!

Private shared state is so important.

There is something deeply captivating about censorship-resistant systems and rulesets that transcend any given set of people in power
I hope that in the coming years, more projects lean into the cypherpunk ethos and that Ethereum becomes a beacon again for the movement

thought I'd share this pertinent tweet by @tim-clancy that would go much harder as a cast
