-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- To: cypherpunks(a)toad.com Date: Tue Aug 13 02:29:17 1996 Whatever happened to that free offer for ProntoSecure for members of the Cpunk list? Remembered hearing something about it awhile back, but I don't know exactly what it is.

In several posts I gave quotes from famous Austrian economists that support my statement that according to Austrian economists wages depend on the amount of capital invested. And all that you answer to this is that you're an Austrian yourself. What do you expect me to say? "Well, Austrian economists like Murray Rothbard and Henry Hazlitt think that wages depend on the amount of capital invested, but Perry Metzger disagrees and says he is an Austrian himself, so we can't conclude that according to Austrian economists wages depend on the level of capital invested?" For the moment, I think it's more reasonable to conclude that you don't understand the Austrians. But of course you can try to attack the arguments of the Austrian economists, and convince them that they are wrong and that they ought to adopt your point of view. Bart Croughs

non-secure network utilities - pointers?
by Sam Quigley 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

What cypherpunk-approved (tm) -- that is, cryptographically strong, freely available, and well-implemented (reliable) -- network utilities are available? I'm willing to agree to US-only license agreement iff I have to... I'm looking for secure telnet, ftp, talk, etc. that I can run over a potentially insecure network (and their respective daemons). Is SSL the way to go? (If so, what's the best implementation?) What about other protocols? Is there some comprehensive {web,ftp}site where I can find more information on this subject? Please reply off-list to poodge(a)econ.berkeley.edu thanks, -sq

I already gave some quotes of Austrian economists in another post, but maybe you didn't read it, so here I go again: Henry Hazlitt in 'economics in one lesson' (p. 139): "The best way to raise wages, therefore, is to raise marginal labor productivity. This can be done by many methods: by an increase in capital accumulation - i.e. by an increase in the machines with which the workers are aided..." Murray Rothbard in 'the free market reader' (p. 31): "Wage rates are low in many foreign countries because capital equipment is small and technologically primitive. Unaided by much capital, worker productivity is far lower than in the United States." Lew Rockwell in 'the economics of liberty' (p. 26): "Wages are determined by the productivity of the individual laborer, which in turn is largely determined by the amount of capital invested per worker." I could go on, but I think this will suffice. As I already said in two of my other posts on this subject, when Austrian economists say that wages depend on the amount of capital invested, they mean on a regional/national level, not on the level of individuals.

ALLEN SMITH" <EALLENSMITH(a)ocelot.Rutgers.EDU> To: cypherpunks(a)toad.com Cc: First, I'd be interested in knowing some of those online reporting addresses, and how much limits they place on what can be mailed to them... persuading these cops to deal with the improper use of another's computer (i.e., spam) would seem to be a distinct possibility in diverting them from other activities. Second, it would appear possible (unless they're encrypting it) to intercept some of these email lists of theirs - if necessary, by forging a subscribe to an _overseas_ nymserver that isn't too well known (unlike, say, anon.penet.fi). That's about on the same grounds as their mention of "know thine enemy." (It is, of course, pretty certain that various libertarian groups are among those monitored, such as cypherpunks.) Third, this gives additional reasons not to give out one's address to anyone. What people know about me is a post office box and my old address. -Allen - ---- End of forwarded message ---- Cut to save space.... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCXAwUBMhBRJ+J+JZd/Y4yVAQHjYgQKAiBzkv0iVGlG1wNn3QLJwR/KymkzFeej ByxF4uLs/IuQ9Np7Y0MZ64rmO7O85z6yoL0iZUegmwfQFuoVX+A3XrN0gtMzA3YR dyTaOS63IJ5kyBggrSt0Yx6kVT5FtAIELbb3KVC7+oqa2nsc9/DuC24S3uKsSoDm KZ7/qnHd1nM+Mw== =2i9v -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

The Dining Cryptographers in the Disco
by Laszlo Vecsey 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

There is a protocol for anonymous message broadcast which supposedly detects disruption, can someone tell me how it works? Applied Cryptography lists a reference to "Advances in Cryptology, Crypto '89 Preceedings" (page 690) but I dont have a copy of it, I'd appreciate it if someone could fill me in on what it says. Thanks! - Lester
