Greetings, everyone. I just discovered this list a few days ago and have been monitoring since then. It's pretty interesting. I'd like to get involved. I'm very interested in cryptography and mathematics, but I have very little cryptographic experience. (hm. Is there a Cypherpunks FAQ?) From the conversation that's going on, I am led to beleive that Cypherpunks is setting up a distributed system to break some cryptographic system or factor a large number. I would expect that a constant net connection would be a requirement to participate in such an interesting event. In any case, I have a 486DX-50 running Linux and I'm interested and curious and willing to learn and help in any way I can. -- ================================================================= Tobin Fricke, Alias Light Ray dr261@cleveland.freenet.edu TobinTech Engineering KE6WHF Amateur Radio The Digital Forest BBS (714) 586-6142, 28800bps
