/cypherpunk/

Is this the right place to find cypherpunks?(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST, In future please elaborate and provide example you want posted and why you want to discuss the topic. Instead of a yes / no question)

I think we're entry level for a lot of things. Any deeper and you're using communications that preclude casual users, but you'll meet people on the periphery of things here, as well as some of the serious ones when they do surface, like... narwhals or something. You can certainly learn more here, and back-and-forth with people who may or may not be informed, but certainly have opinions.

>>6449 Are there any more resources aside from Lain I should check out?

If you found them, they couldn't be cypherpunks.

>>6450 Most of the cyber-themed boards that proliferated briefly in the cyber-zeitgeist of the 2010's have died out, (RIP Megachan), but there's a decent list in 420chan's Wildcard futurism, if the word filter will let me link: http://boards.420chan.org/wc/res/36514.php

>>6455 > RIP Megachan I was there at the end ;_;

hoooooooooooLLLLLLy soykaf, 420chan is still around?! i used to tripcode there at like 14, 14 years ago

OP here, sorry for the passive question, wanted to gather info first, as I was a bit confused. >>6452 Seems that cypherpunks groups are so close that you can't find them. >>6455 Maybe I confused who cypherpunks are; in that link there is as much as I needed. >>6449 So, I think I'll join some IRCs and ask. Thanks you all!

I have some texts that might help.

>>6448 Hey OP, I think cypherpunks mailing list can be a starting point for you. Bitcoin was actively discussed there soon after its announcement in 2008; lots of other interesting ideas were proposed. https://lists.cpunks.org/mailman/listinfo You might also be interested in crypto-anarchy, which is ideologically related. https://cryptoanarchy.wiki/

I'm dropping some files on the Lain Volafile room again, if anyone wants to browse. https://volafile.org/r/kUFzLJ
