Re: Where is Coderman?
Excellent reasons to be "self-employed" as a crypto asset trader with a friend fronting for you at any exchanges requiring AML/KYC for fiat withdrawals to bank accounts. Maybe buy a "pre-paid" major CC in your name from someone dividing up their large credit line into smaller (e.g., $2000) accounts and "renting" them out. If you can live off these CCs they can be quite effective. (Some CC-issuers are questioning or closing or suspending accounts with more than a few named "friends"). Don't forget to use Monero and or Samourai wallet's new ricochet feature greatly impede blockchain analyzers (for BTC-only).

It's been years since I used gentoo/portage, but my understanding is that its trended towards binary packages.. of course, this may be a misunderstanding, because I haven't used it in years :) And I'm sure you can still use portage in strictly source build mode. I've noticed the same thing with FreeBSD - unless you keep your own package repo with poudriere, or maybe portmaster or something, trying to keep a mix of stuff installed via src, from ports, and binaries installed directly via the pkg command, can cause some issues. The.. "issues".. are largely to do with whether you went in and changed options in the `make config` stage of building a particular port. I suppose if you just built EVERYTHING from src out of ports (which actually converts what you just built into a FreeBSD txz pkg in the process of `make install`) and never installed a binary package, it might not be such a big deal.. until you tried to do a major OS update, via freebsd-update or via make buildworld/buildkernel && make installworld/installkernel, in either case you generally need to upgrade all your packages to use the new ABI, if you're doing a major version jump. > > -- GPG fingerprint: 17FD 615A D20D AFE8 B3E4 C9D2 E324 20BE D47A 78C7 signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Step one, two gents in conservative suits visit your employer, flash impressive ID cards, and obtain consent for a "confidential" interview. Then they start asking questions: How well to you know The Subject, have you seen any indications of X, Y or Z? They won't accuse you of anything, but their leading questions say that you are involved in dope dealing, terrorism, child trafficking, or whatever else they judge will frighten and/or anger your employer the most. Kiss that job goodbye. Your next employer visits the State labor department website to complete an unemployment compensation form, and on the same day their phone rings: Your SSN tripped a filter, and an e-mail arrived at your local Fusion Center. A watch officer grabs the script indicated, picks up the phone and asks for an appointment to interview your new employer, again on a "confidential" basis. Needless to say, the new hire intake process ends there and then with weak or no excuses made. How does a person get on an enemies list like the one described? Well, bluntly refusing to inform on your friends will do it - especially if you "turn" the asset who made the recruiting pitch, and/or feed him or her intelligence designed to waste as much of the opposition's money and resources as possible. For instance if you "have reason to believe" that certain people hanging around local activist orgs are Federal informants, persuading informants working for your Town Clowns that they are high level drug dealers might provide some harmless amusement. :o) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I do not believe this is the answer. I think you misunderstand the email thread. You can see that Coderman is on the list as well “ electromagnet...@gmail.com coder...@gmail.com d...@kuketz.de ” https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2015-October/010285.html We can see that Coderman doxxxed himself with Freedom of Information Act: “FOIPA adventures "you want me to consent to make my FBI file public? Are you fucking mad?" - https://twitter.com/thegrugq/status/563036665837789184 --- i am currently making requests through MuckRock.com which i recommend for their helpful and dedicated staff, as well as their time devoted to review and reporting on released information. i am using the professional service, which lets you set requests private until reviewed and ready to release publicly. this implies a bit of trust in MuckRock, and i hope it is not misplaced. few years back i asked for participants in a similar effort. some things resulted: 1) this also opens up the requester to risk; that is, whoever is filing must also potentially show some trust, if a falsified DOJ-361 is sent and used as pretext to "deter" you. i have not heard of this actually happening, but i was also not willing to push it. '''beware who you accept, coder, or they're setting you up for USC 18 fuckery. sure, it may in the end be ok. but you're in misery until cleared. 2) the information is going to be public; if you've got a file because you're a privacy enthusiast, then filing to make your file public is the opposite of enjoying your privacy. there is merit in taking one for team earth human, however... ” https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2015-February/006735.html I have read the MuckRock and it ends out that never was his file released: https://www.muckrock.com/foi/united-states-of-america-10/foipa-17315/ - No Responsive Documents https://www.muckrock.com/foi/united-states-of-america-10/privacyactdirect-19921/ - No Responsive Documents By the way this request is where you find Coderman's other aliases: “For the individual "Martin Russell Peck" born 1978, currently residing in zip 97123, specifically including any and all records for Martin Peck in Oregon, including past residences in Oregon; also past residences in Kansas, South Carolina, Colorado, and Utah, including records from any other applicable state office, including email addresses coder...@gmail.com , co...@peertech.org , coder...@mindspring.com, coder...@earthlink.net, co...@charter.net, also including aliases "coderman", "coderman_", "coder", "PureFiction", "fibrill", also including cross-references and indirect mentions, including records outside the investigation main file.” It is not that there are no documents but that they never did perform the search. It seems something was hanging up with Coderman's Freedom of Information Requests. Or maybe this happened like Coderman feared? “1) this also opens up the requester to risk; that is, whoever is filing must also potentially show some trust, if a falsified DOJ-361 is sent and used as pretext to "deter" you. i have not heard of this actually happening, but i was also not willing to push it.

In the list https://www.torproject.org/about/contributors.html.en “Martin Peck Worked on a VM-based transparent proxying approach for Tor clients on Windows.” I do not believe he has disappeared because of his name. Does TOR Project know what happened to Coderman? Is he outcast like Jake Applebaum?
Re: Where is Coderman?
Hey, I don't know much about coderman, but he introduced me to this list. After some activism volunteering a few years ago, I found myself persistently harassed by strangers, authorities, and anonymous hackers in very misleading and often abusive ways. I found coderman on #tor-talk on freenode, which I joined in a state of intense fear and confusion to try to get the word out and seek help. Immediately after I started talking on the channel there were multiple netsplits, and coderman was one of the few on the same set of servers as me. He mentioned this list, the value of SDR work, other things about open source, security, and my experience, and e-mailed me. Coderman was the only person I was able to get in contact with who seemed to have any understanding of my situation. I mention this because what was happening to me was _really intense_ and destroyed not only my livelihood but also that of friends who supported me. I would not have been surprised if something happened to other people I talked to in order to continue suppressing the things I was exposed to. But I also recognize this was a time of extreme paranoia for me, so it is hard to know which fears were overblown. I developed serious mental issues from being in that situation where I was persistently separated from normality, and am still very much struggling with these issues. I am very frightened to talk about and further research this, which is why I have not spoken up in the past. This is not trolling or a joke.

My best guess: he gave up the persona after being outed as Martin Peck. This was my news of it: Forwarded Message Subject: Re: Re: Pastebin of banned accounts found Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2017 19:59:07 +0200 From: carlo von lynX To: Hello, illustre group of recipients. I made a bit of research into the matter, wanting to figure out which e-mail exchange made "coderman" think I belong into a list of troublemakers even if I do my best to always discuss rationally - and how such a list would come about with so many respected names along mine. Well, I was successful. Here is what I found. https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2014-December/035866.html Mr coderman admits to go by the real name "Martin R. Peck". He caused some confusion by promoting a fake NSA program that didn't actually exist. On the Whonix forum he "anonymously" reported his own news, introducing himself as follows: > Martin R. Peck, software engineer, has created this BigSun automated redaction system, which he has offered to provide to the NSA. At the same time I had been having an exchange with him where I had openly dared to doubt the safety of the debian binary distribution system - a threat that he tried to downplay by comparing it with much less likely threats. See https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2014-December/035867.html thru https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2014-December/035879.html We didn't actually arrive at any inflammatory tones, he just disappeared after his identity had been lifted and his argumentation started to look suspicious more than anything. Disappearing was a smart move, as I had indeed forgotten entirely about him. Probably so have you. What do I gather from this? Keeping my hands off of debian or any of its derivates has been a good choice. Same goes for fedora. Everybody get your gentoo skills back in shape, or help Guix/Nix get ready for prime time.
