 They're decidedly different meme pools: one produces key escrow, the

Yeah but that is basically zero traffic, and I suspect in large part because
its a silly domain that people who dislike inviting their addition to a
watch-list will avoid.

Maybe someone with a more neutral domain could try it - or a cypherpunks.*
domain if they have a listserv handy.

Isn't exactly that a nice property of a cypherpunks list?


No it is not, it is a way to persuade people to leave, or not join the
listserv.

Cypherpunks is a distributed mailing list. A subscriber can subscribe
to one node of the list and thereby participate on the full list. Each
node (called a Cypherpunks Distributed Remailer [CDR], although they are
not related to anonymous remailers) exchanges messages with the other
nodes in addition to sending messages to its subscribers.


Yes I know, but that badly named listserv is the last CDR.

We have to agree to disagree on that one. A 'punk' of any

If they consider the name annoying, so much the better.

I find the base is a very good name for a listserv.

Cyberpunk, cypherpunk, coderpunks... is all fine, I think people have
understood the etymology of those terms after a few decades, negative
connotations to some of 'punk' notwithstanding, a cypherpunk is a term for
an area of interest or philosophy with a dictionary definition at this
point.

But my point actually was b...@al-qaeda.net???  Come on that is watch list

Speaking as one of the two people who started that particular effort, it never 
quite worked out that way.

Way too many TLAs, law suits, IRS visits, and those who read their own press 
releases to make it nearly as enjoyable as it sounds.

Our local hackerspace uses a rather neutral address:
URL:https://list.lstsrv.org/
We could also host the Cypherpunks list, if you like. However here is no
Majordomo running (and probably never will be). As far as I see it the
list doesn't use the distributed feature, so switching to Mailman should
not be a hard problem.

If you like a more on topic domain I could setup a mailing list at
anonymitaet-im-inter.net. ;) This is german for »anonymity on the
internet«. The site hosts at the moment only a Mixmaster node.
