The problem is that our tools are unsatisfactory, no one wants to use them. They need improvement. One tool that works and is widely used is the vpn. vpns cross borders, with the result that the Chinese economy has most of its management outside the grasp of the Chinese state, which strikes me as a pretty big step towards the cypherpunk economy. But aside from that one success, the problem is that we are not that good. Fortunately our opponents are worse. ___ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
