While some folks would rather we talked only about "crypto," just how many times can basic questions about Diffie-Hellman, or RSA, or elliptic curves be discussed?
Sure, there is a limit to what can be said about cryptography and the direct politics of cryptography. *THAT IS THE POINT*. That is why I'm starting a new list -- so that I can abandon this waste heap to those that like frolicking in the mire.
here here. 400 messages in less than a week, with no digest, no moderated equivalent and no explanation for the "-ratings" list? who has time for that? i'm interested in crypto but i have a hard time believing any serious researcher could sift through all the messages and still have time left to eat & breathe, much less code! goodbye (again!) cypherpunks list! i had hoped things had changed in the last 2+ years but i guess not. as far as i'm concerned if it generates > 10 emails a day i'd have to justify reading it to my employers, or cut back on my coding at home, neither of which is likely to happen :) i am interested in any alternatives, cypherpunks readers... other mailing lists that are serious about crypto, security, etc. wasn't there talk at one time of a list for coders? can anyone remind me of what happened to it or where it exists now?
