You can read cypherpunks with a newsreader at nntp.hks.net ; use all your favorite newsreading tools to filter and organize it. You can get 5-10% of the volume from filtered lists from Ray Arachelian or Eric Blossom. (Ray's FCPUNX list is at either sunder@dorsai.org or sunder@brainlink.com if he's moved it. Send mail with Subject: help fcpunx There's a digested form of the list. It's free. Eric's at eb@comsec.com ; cypherpunks-light costs @20/year.)
