As well as active Cypherpunks mirrors, have there been many new nym servers coming into existance? Most of them seem to have been dying on the vine. Info on new or existing nym servers appreciated. (I am not certain in Raph has been covering them on the remailer list.) --- | "That'll make it hot for them!" - Guy Grand | |"The moral PGP Diffie taught Zimmermann unites all| Disclaimer: | | mankind free in one-key-steganography-privacy!" | Ignore the man | |`finger -l alano@teleport.com` for PGP 2.6.2 key | behind the keyboard.| | http://www.ctrl-alt-del.com/~alan/ |alan@ctrl-alt-del.com|

As far as I understand, nym servers die because their maintainers get tired of the huge amount of mass mailings, mailbombings and complaints that these servers generate. Often enough they simply do not have the bandwidth or CPU resources to maintain them. - Igor.

Stanford Wallace is doing an excellent job hosting "unpopular" Internet features which the politically correct scum (like the cocksucker John Gilmore) sought to censor - like www.Godhatesfags.com. It's pricey, but it sounds like a nearly ideal site for remailers, nym sevrers, and the like. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps

I do not think that cyberpromo is a good site for remailers, because a lot of sites ignore everything that comes out of cyberpromo and affiliated domains. A user who decides to use a cyberpromo-hosted remailer will not be sure whether his messages will be delivered to recipients or not. It may be slightly better to use cyberpromo for a nym server, though. How much does it cost to have a domain with Cyberpromo? - Igor.

It's not "a lot" of sites - most of them are just making stupid noises. Also, if a site does try to decide what its users are allowed to read, it's too bad for the users - let them move to another site.

It might be a good site for an anon.penet.fi-like server (yes, I keep promising to do something...)

I believe it's something like $25/month, not including $100 to InterNIC. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps

How much for a simple account for usenet? I'd like to get one--just respond to the cabal from it--they'll read it. Decent ISP don't accept cancels--once we get news.admin.* people being quoted, trashed and praised in these threads they'll get through. Steve
