Re: [cryptography] a Cypherpunks comeback
Could you please get another domain name, that name is just ridiculous. It might tickle your humour but I guarantee it does not 99% of potential subscribers... Unless your hidden objective is to drive away potential subscribers. Adam On Sun, Jul 21, 2013 at 11:07:26AM +0200, Eugen Leitl wrote: - Forwarded message from Riad S.

This discussion brought us to a discussion of attempting to resurrect the list's wetware, as it were, in addition to its software. At Eugen's request, John dug up a couple Majordomo WHO outputs from about 15 years ago; I tidied up the lists, and now I'm writing to you.

I can only tell you that I've been running a Cypherpunks list of some sort from this domain for a bit over a decade, and I haven't yet been spirited away in a black helicopter. Here's hoping for another helicopter-free decade.)

Re: [cryptography] Must have seemed like a good idea at the time
* James A. Donald: This not all that fatal, as the money is traceable, but it means that the financial institution needs an apparatus to reverse cell phone transactions, and that cell phone money is therefore soft on the may scale. This has been the case for giro payments for a while, and some national banking systems stipulate that *all* direct debit transactions can be rolled back for some time after the transaction. (Lines of credit automatically enforced by banking systems already take this into account, for obvious reasons.) So all this isn't as bad as it may sound. (The phone as a second factor is an endangered species, but for other reasons.) ___ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
