I am pleased that you are discussing with us crypto politics in Japan... we have few contributors from Japan in the past.
Yeah, surprising, isn't it, considering how open and welcoming the cypherpunks have been to foreigners and minority races...
Actually Adam Back should be nominated for cypherpunk of the year. Unlike a blowhard do-nothing like Timothy "Chop-chop" May (and now we know what the C stands for, don't we?), Adam actually accomplishes things. His 3-line RSA has dramatized the absurdity of the export controls like nothing else. He built a working prototype of an eternity server while everybody else just talked about it. He's been a leader in the fight to oppose PGP GAKware. He has strong political views but is not motivated by hatred and fear.
Adam doesn't get nearly the respect he deserves, probably because he's not much of a wordsmith. Tim May's sophistry is good enough to pull the wool over most people's eyes. But look deeper and you'll see that Adam's heart is pure. That's worth far more than May's skill at artfully wrapping his garbage.
So when is the marriage planed?? Are you and Adam registered at Harrod's so I can send a gift? - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
