From: VINCENT810@aol.com Can someone please show me the ropes on becomeing a cypherpunk!!!! Thanxs. Me Too, I'm catching on but some help would help ! Leo_Martensen_at_~~HEID-DHS@ccmail.odedodea.edu

Okay, places to start. Go to the cypherpunks ftp site ftp.csua.berkeley.edu/pub/cypherpunks and look around. TCMay's "Cyphernomicon" FAQ is a must, although it's really really big. It's been Weblinked somewhere, but I fail to recall. It's also been ZIPped somewhere. Buy Bruce Scheiner's (sp?) "Applied Cryptography." Actually, don't. A new Second Edition is coming out next month. Read the list, hopefully not posting lame newbie messages like "I want to learn how to be a cypherpunk!!!!" Smile.
