Global Anarchist hegemony is now the inescapable horizon of all cypherpunk historical revisionist thought

2024-06-03 Thread pro2rat
Thanks to crypto-economics those who take control of the world will then 
control the cryptoanarchist past. Victors write the histories.
And since Btc presently leads its revisionist narrative dominates. In 
architectural terms it might be compared to minimalist concrete brutalism . .  
or Stonehenge.
Coming in second is the Ether-huffing Imperium. Like the former btc maxi's it 
coverts the cpunk narrative. Only its stylistically more eclectic.
Were it to win it would deepfaked cryptoanarchism. A turd blossom by any other 
name would smell like Buterin.
Not quite a Mongo style fork in the road, since all crypto roads lead to 
cryptoanarchist Rome, however a little drama always helps sell the story.
Some eternal verities remain.
If you come at the dominant narrative then you better not miss and those who 
make revolution half way dig their own grave.

If one could monetizes everything today, BTC ~= $0.50/sat.
Of course the current BTC crowd has no idea how
to scale BTC to that, and most certainly not without
losing face in massive embarassment to their captured
public statements required to update "Bitcoin" into some
design unrecognizable as Bitcoin, as it is today sworn by
them to be. Thus they introduce "tabs" and "layer" lies.
BTC was meant to be updated, then it got captured, and ever
since they deny that meaning. Replacements for BTC are coming
in the next few years, get ready to migrate. Bagholding Maxis are
taking the captured SoV bet shilling hot air, not the P2P Freedom

Btc is impeccably monetarist . . . right up to the point each sat becomes worth

Divisibility: Bitcoin is much more divisible than fiat currencies. One bitcoin 
can be divided into up to eight decimal places, with constituent units called 
satoshis.
Bitcoin is divided into units as small as 0.0001 BTC. In the future, if 
needed, the divisibility of bitcoin can be increased to 100 billion smaller 
parts

Tokenization with any cryptocurrency, combined with virtually unlimited supply,

Denver Post
Online threats target Denver investigators - Anarchist says e-mails harmless; 
feds disagree
By Jim Hughes - Denver Post Staff Writer
Monday, July 07, 2003 - An anarchist using the online moniker “Professor Rat” 
has threatened the lives of two federal terrorism investigators in Denver, 
advocating that they “need killing.” The threats name an FBI agent assigned to 
the local multiagency Joint Terrorism Task Force and the government’s lead 
prosecutor of terrorism cases in Colorado.
Although those who travel in the same online circles as Professor Rat say his 
provocations are not to be taken seriously, officials say they are concerned 
about the threats, which were sent to an e-mail listserv and posted on the 
Internet in April.
“The recipients of the threats have no way to discern their validity,” said 
Jeff Dorschner, spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office. "They cause fear and 
they disrupt lives, and it’s for that reason that they’re taken very seriously.
“It’s more than the individual targets. It’s the families and those associated 
with them,” he said.
That is the purpose of the postings, an Australian man who admits to using the 
Professor Rat name and to posting these kinds of threats saidin a telephone 
interview and a series of e-mails: To scare people out of working for the 
government.
He refused to admit to any specific threat, to avoid prosecution, he said. He 
already is charged with making similar threats against police in Australia, 
according to the Victoria Police in Melbourne.
Saying that his real name was Matt Taylor and that he was 48 years old, 
Professor Rat said he promotes a theory called Assassination Politics that 
emerged at the periphery of cyberanarchist circles in 1997. The concept is that 
of an online lottery in which people bet on a date that public figures will 
die. The implication is that the lottery “winner” likely helped arrange the 
death. Winnings would be paid in untraceable digital cash, which does not yet 
exist. The development of digital money, and encryption software restricting 
government’s ability to monitor Internet activity, are common goals among the 
online anarchists and libertarians known as “cypherpunks.”
The ultimate purpose of Assassination Politics is to deter people from working 
for government agencies, corporate media outlets or institutions “beholden to 
the violence of the state,” Taylor said. Professor Rat also has threatened a 
University of Ottawa law professor, a columnist for The Boston Globe and a 
Cincinnati police officer. Many of those threats were posted to a listserv 
called Cypherpunks. The e-mail distribution network allows libertarians and 
anarchists interested in the tension between government oversight and 
individual liberty on the Internet to discuss those issues via e-mails that 
when sent to the listserv are distributed to all members.
Dorschner would not say whether there was an investigation into Professor Rat, 
calling the matter an issue of “internal security.” The columnist for The 
Boston Globe, whose sin, in the eyes of Professor Rat, was to criticize civil 
libertarians for objecting to the Patriot Act of 2001, said he did not take the 
threat at all seriously. He learned of the threat only last week, when told of 
it by The Denver Post, he said. The Post is withholding the names of the 
subjects of posts by Professor Rat to avoid promoting any specific threats. 
“The way I see it, this kind of talk is pretty cheap on the Internet,” the 
columnist said. “This is something I would consider casual hate speech. This 
person didn’t send me an e-mail saying 'I’m going to kill you.”’ But officials 
in Denver see nothing casual about the statements, Dorschner said.
In an interview, Taylor taunted the Denver officials named in the April 8 
statement. “They’re welcome to come and get me extradited,” he said. “Here I 
am. Come and get me.”
The Cypherpunks listserv is also where Jim Bell, an MIT-trained chemist and 
Washington anarchist who now is in prison for interstate stalking of federal 
agents, unveiled his Assassination Politics. He was convicted in 2001. Federal 
prosecutors in Seattle that year also won a conviction against Carl Johnson, a 
Canadian man accused of threatening federal judges and Microsoft founder Bill 
Gates by e-mail.
Later in 2001, Thomas Wales, a federal prosecutor in Seattle, was shot to 
death. Though his death was noted on the Cypherpunks listserv, no connection to 
Assassination Politics has ever been made. The case remains unsolved. John 
Hartingh, spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Seattle, declined to 
comment on Wales’ death. Taylor said his threats are intended solely as a 
rhetorical deterrent.
“No one has to die,” he said. “All that has to happen is for people to accept 
the system.”

Cypherpunk failures agree

In this case Mongo and Vinay Gupta.  Mongo's fork-in-the-road thesis from the 
90's  . . . 

" . . . If anonymity is outlawed, it will take draconian measures to enforce
it–citizen-unit ID cards, officially issued encryption keys, escrow,
monitoring of communications, massive penalties to deter illegal use of
encryption, and other police state measures.

On the other hand, if enough degrees of freedom are left untouched, the
result is a growing, expanding crypto anarchy. Government will find itself
powerless to control commerce (handled via encrypted channels), will find
it doesn’t know the True Names of various Net entities, and will end up
being chased into an enclave of things it can control. . . . "

He reiterated this just before he died in 2018 as ' the dossier society ' 
dystopia Vs his usual Galts Gulch garbage.
" Natural Rights anarchy ".
And here is Gupta from 2015  . . . 
" . . .  Gupta gave his view on why the cypherpunk movement succeeded in 
creating many tools for more secure and private computing, but failed in 
achieving broad adoption and societal change . . . "

https://buttdarling.insanejournal.com/2015/11/16/

Contra these two losers my assessment by 2011 was we had enough adoption and 
change to declare victory.
And we have only gotten much stronger since then while the powers-that-be have 
all gotten weaker.
My thesis is the net has globalized since 2005 ( its non anglo-centric in other 
words ) and could take on and defeat all the earthly powers COMBINED since 2010.
I can't account for any black swan event happening between now and the 
predicted singularity due between 2030 - 2040. But that's my considered opinion 
based on the best evidence available to me. And why I've been demanding a 
formal surrender of the USG to the anarchic net every year for the last 12 
years.  All they have to do is free ALL drug war prisoners ( state and federal 
) then bring back the 2003 PAM FutureMaps prediction mart that may then handle 
its defeat in detail. 
The rest of the world seeing the worlds most powerful state get chased into an 
enclave should draw the appropriate conclusion.  Surrender early - surrender 
often  - surrender abjectly while begging for mercy.
There will then follow two Friedman Units where we will settle all outstanding 
accounts with local bullies and bad gentry.  With your help all this might be 
accomplished by CYPHERPUNK 2027 and we may then bring on the singularity early. 
 Please don't try and hinder us though - we can already make a horrible example 
out of anyone.
Amirite worlds richest and most powerful men?
Cypherpunk traitors like Assmange, Back and so on will get everything that's 
coming to them.

Btc Maxi Prince Filip's father Alexander is a proponent of re-creating a 
constitutional monarchy in Serbia and sees himself as the rightful king.

A key event for Prince Alexander - Filip's grandfather  - occurred on 27 March 
1909 when his older brother, Crown Prince George, publicly renounced his claim 
to the throne after strong pressure from political circles in Serbia.  Prince 
Alexander donated a large sum of money to the Black Hand-oriented journal 
Pijemont (Piedmont) (founded in August 1911).

George killed his servant Kolaković by kicking him in the stomach. 

What a prince that man was.

Josh Hendrickson @RebelEconProf
A quick thread on bitcoin, crypto, and all that… The creation of
Bitcoin was not random. It was the product of deliberative efforts
that people had been working on for decades. As more and more things
were recorded electronically, these people recognized the need for
privacy…
One aspect of this was thinking about how to create an electronic form
of money. These cypherpunks had a wide variety of backgrounds, but
they studied money and monetary history. They learned from people like
George Selgin and Larry White about commodity money and free banking…
Previous attempts to create a private (both in the sense of privacy
and provision by the private sector) electronic money failed. The main
problem was always that there were single points of failure. Bitcoin
solved this. It made it possible to have a decentralized money…
It also solved what I’ll call the Klein problem in economics, the idea
that for a private money to circulate one must trust the issuer won’t
wake up one day, print a bunch of money, & use it to accumulate a
bunch of wealth before everyone else realizes the money is now
worthless
It did this by having a deterministic supply that cannot be changed
without the consensus of the users of the network. And those users
have no incentive to deviate from that initial rule. Thus, one doesn’t
have to trust an “issuer”
I heard about bitcoin in April 2011. I’ve had an academic interest in
it ever since. To me, it was exciting because it provided a natural
experiment to test various conclusions from monetary theory that were
understood in a world in which something like bitcoin had never
existed
Over the last decade, I have met many people interested in bitcoin.
Economists, computer scientists, and software developers. This has
been a rewarding experience. All of these people have gone down the
rabbit hole of everything you need to know to understand bitcoin.
But I’ve also watched this cryptocurrency industry emerge around
bitcoin that is full of the worst people. Everyone from scammers to
Ponzi schemers to VCs who just want to make a quick buck off of people
who don’t understand this stuff.
For years, I’ve been careful about what I say about this stuff. But
now, enough is enough. I’m going to write about this stuff more and
I’m going to call out the scammers.
If a fraction of the rumors I’m hearing about FTX are true, then SBF
belongs in prison and there needs to be an investigation of all the
people who enabled him.
Bitcoin and the entire process that led up to it was motivated by the
desire to make the world a better place and internet commerce more
private. It was a true technological innovation. The market will
decide what that innovation is worth.
But the people who try to piggyback off of this innovation with their
bullshit protocols, tokens, and exchanges to profit off of people who
don’t know any better need to be called out. Stay tuned.

Absolutely not! Most cryptographers and mathematicians are

Specialization is for insects and researchers, as someone’s .sig says.

The effects of increasing computer power confer even
greater advantage to the cipher user than to the cipher breaker.

I don't understand most of what you're talking about, but there's a
sense I get from it that resonates with me, of there being
hopelessness around helping anything at all, let alone the hopeless.

What comes to me after considering what you say, and filtering the

hopeless and harm, we dedicate our lives and efforts to helping the
hopeless, and know that in the end nothing that can stop us.

The NFT road to CYPHERPUNK 2027

2022-04-28 Thread professor rat
Esteban Castaño, the founder and CEO of cryptocurrency analytics firm TRM Labs, 
told Forbes in February that concerns about money laundering in NFTs are 
legitimate. “We have already seen nation states move assets into NFTs and move 
them back out. So it's not a bogeyman–it's real. It's happening.” He says 
people who commit financial crimes like hacks, ransomware attacks and selling 
stolen credit cards can take the proceeds and move them into NFTs to hide or 
launder the funds.

In February, Castaño said the risk of money laundering with NFTs was “small 
today, with a lot of potential to grow.” Chainalysis, a New York-based crypto 
analytics company, estimated that illicitly obtained funds–for example, money 
gotten through scams–that later moved into NFTs totaled $1.4 million in the 
last quarter of 2021.

OpenSea, the dominant NFT marketplace that facilitates about $3 billion in 
monthly transactions, doesn’t currently verify customers’ identities through 
the “know your customer” (KYC) checks that are required in banking and other 
financial services. A spokesperson for OpenSea didn’t immediately respond to 
requests for comment. . . ."

Abstract

The cypherpunks were 1990s digital activists who challenged White House 
policies aiming to prevent the emergence of unregulated digital cryptography, 
an online privacy technology capable of frustrating government surveillance. 
Whilst the cypherpunk’s ideology, which is predominantly the output of Timothy 
C. May, is well understood, less is known about the composition of the 
cypherpunk’s community. This article builds on past studies by Rid and 
Beltramini by using the cypherpunk’s mail list archive to profile the most 
active and influential cypherpunks. This study confirms the May-derived 
ideology is broadly, though not entirely, representative of the cypherpunk 
community. This article assesses the cypherpunks were a highly educated, mostly 
libertarian community permeated by aspects of anarchism which arose from a 
societal disaffiliation inherited from the counterculture. This article further 
argues that the cypherpunks were also influenced by the hacker ethic and 
dystopian science fiction.

Introduction

The cypherpunks were a group of privacy activists who in the 1990s helped 
establish the use of unregulated digital cryptography within the United States. 
Digital privacy, better phrased as privacy in the digital age given the 
inexorable digital-physical convergence, is achieved principally via digital 
security. When considering the base elements of digital security, Professor 
Keith Martin comments that, “cryptography is pretty much the only game in town” 
(Martin, 2020, p. 2). Cryptography allows not only for a host of vital 
applications within our everyday lives, such as secure financial transactions, 
but also for capabilities the cypherpunks hoped would undermine the State (May, 
1988). Such encryption-dependent technologies include: block-chains, which can 
place financial transactions beyond the government’s ability to monitor and 
tax; whistleblowing platforms, capable of facilitating leaks whilst protecting 
the whistleblower; and anonymity networks, which can obfuscate a citizen’s 
physical location.

The cypherpunks helped shape our Internet. Beltramini comments they were, 
“perhaps the single most effective grassroots organization in history dedicated 
to protecting freedom in cyberspace” (Beltramini, 2020, p. 1). However, 
Dahlberg argues that cyber-libertarian visions of the future, such as those 
held by the cypherpunks, had mostly dissipated by 2000, he comments that by 
then the Internet was, “seen as part and parcel of “everyday life” – simply an 
extension of existing social systems, rather than being a revolutionary medium 
transcending offline political and economic constraints” (2010, p. 333). 
However, Dahlberg’s assessment fails to account for the significant 1990s 
cryptographic advances made by the citizenry, which included weakening export 
controls, defeating the Clinton administration’s attempts to further regulate 
cryptography, and establishing the foundation for current technologies such as 
crypto-currencies. Today, law enforcement does not consider unregulated 
encryption as a tolerable status quo as its use hinders their access to 
suspect’s data.1 In 2020 alone, two bills were introduced in Congress which 
could outlaw encryption not containing a government access method (commonly 
referred to as a “back door”) (United States Congress, 2020; United States 
Senate, 2020). When the Clinton administration sought to include a back door 
within encryption technologies in the 1990s, the cypherpunks led the successful 
battle to defeat government policy, thus helping to establish unregulated 
cryptography. The cypherpunk ideology now influences a new generation of 
digital privacy activists.2 These new activists are responsible for challenging 
today’s government policies to mandate encryption back doors.

It is important we understand the community which last successfully challenged 
the State’s attempt to regulate cryptography so that ongoing debates are 
informed by an accurate characterization of those who established today’s 
status quo. This article builds on the cypherpunk studies of Rid (2016) and 
Beltramini (2020

I'm emailing this first because I don't always have good success with
communication.

A messaging system is needed with the following properties:
- sneakernet/airgapped cryptography
- immutable preservation of public discourse
- support/preference for anonymity
- integration with or expansion of one or more systems that are already
in-use, with one or more existing development and user communities
- peer to peer, disaster-ready
- cryptographic delivery (and/or read) receipts
- simple, clear reimplementable and third-party-maintainable design, making
heavy reuse of few basic parts

Although some of the above properties are common, some are very rare.  The
rare properties should be prioritised.

just noting existing non-tor projects such as i2p

great to see the network proposal again otherwise


Re: Cypherpunk Guild

You might recall that I've proposed an alternate anonymization network, perhaps based on Raspberry Pi computers, analogous to TOR.It could be hosted by ordinary people, or small businesses.  Perhaps all outputs would be encrypted, at least enough so that everyone could act as an output node: even if monitored, there wouldn't be  any plaintext that could be understood.Other than the initial hardware cost, around $85 (?) per unit, there would be a continuing cost of about $50/month, based on a recent price from Centurylink for 100 megabits/second service .  I believe that includes an 'unlimited' data, which is probably necessary for a heavily-used system, especially if it is expected to include 'chaff', dummy-traffic. So, a cost of $50,000/month, or $600,000 per year.Perhaps the sponsors of the network would subsidize about half the cost of the Internet service:. After all, the host of the node gets to use it as well.  I think that there was a lot of discussion of anonymization, on the Cypherpunks list in the mid-1990's.  From remailers like penet.fi onwards.  What could have prevented people, at least ordinary Cyberpunks, from building their own anonymization network?    Did they have to make it illegal?  No.It turns out it was easy: GIVE THEM ONE!  For free!  Call it TOR.  Somehow, that was enough.  For the cost if implementing TOR, they have somehow succeeded in preventing development and implementation of any alternative.It isn't as if there's no need.  Imagine a dark market that does a gross business of $1 billion/year.  They should be willing to finance a $600,000/year anonymization network. Or 0.06%.And there will likely be multiple 'customers' for the anonymization 'market', so the costs will be spread further.   Jim BellOn Dec 14, 2021 4:44 AM, Steven Schear  wrote:My friends at the NEAR <https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/near-protocol/> Cypherpunk Guild <https://cypherpunkguild.org/> are keenly looking for cypherpunk-oriented development that, ideally, also promotes NEAR.
