I spoke in an earlier post of the #freedom channel on the Internet chat. A brief description of #freedom. They interactively send messages to each other in code. The code is fast & they seem to be talking fluently to each other. This would seem to be an interesting matter to Cypherpunks. I have been asked for more info. on the #freedom channel. I don't know anymore than I've already talked about except that they are not a hidden or invite only channel. Of course, when you talk to them you are ignored. Apparently, they ignore other people because their machines "decrypt" our plaintext to "crypt-like" text. For anyone who would like to join the #freedom channel or acquire their encrypt/decrypt "on the fly" software, I have the following sug- gestions: 1. get on the Internet Chat system. 2. do a " /channel #freedom " command. that will get you into their channel. Immediately after getting on their channel, you will get a list of the nicknames of the users already on the channel. 3. IMMEDIATELY record on paper, the nicknames. - they may scroll off your screen quickly. 4. do a " /whois nick " on several of their nicks. This will get you their Internet email addresses. 5. Mail some of them requests for what you want. Since the channel name is "#freedom", I would suppose they are political & may want to share info. with you. If you are interested in their "on the fly" crypt/decrypt message software & you manage to get it - THEN BRING IT BACK TO CYPHERPUNKS! The stuff would make a good post on a Cypherpunk ftp site for freedom software. Note: it is possible that they may not be sophisticated with cryptography & might not want to give out their encrypt/decrypt algorithm. In which case, please try to get them in touch with one of the more experienced Cypherpunks. Cypherpunks should be able to demonstrate the uselessness of secret algorithms & in such a case give them stronger algorithms. Yours Truly, Gary Jeffers PUSH EM BACK! PUSH EM BACK!
