Ah; the creatures of the Lunar Right! What sweet music they make as they get castrated, burnt , flayed and buried alive! Its like defeating the confederacy and Wehrmacht all over again. An historical reenactment everyone can get behind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM-E2H1ChJM

Exit Wikileaks

That judge just handed the present management at WL a heavy weapon to block the return of its prodigious sun-king. Its difficult, if not impossible to see a return of the WL of its heyday. Too much PR baggage. Too much surveillance in plain sight. The last thing a blacknet platform needs in charge is a cop-magnet like this Bozo celebrity 'journalist ' and Mr Chicken. So WL has done its dash - a risen souffle can't rise twice. The time it would take a clever comeback king...well, the calendar takes care of everything. By the time we get to CYPHERPUNK 2027 no one will even remember who Satoshi was. Vorward.

BACKSTABBER the new Bull Goose Loony Cypherpunk
by professor rat 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

Adam Backs success in picking winners - or perhaps making the fewest mistakes - has propelled him to the forefront of cypherpunks. So this is a good time to look back at his original proof-of-work idea. It was before my time but I gather the list had a problem with spam and ' hashcash' was a proposed workaround for that. I don't think it worked as advertised since Mong opted for open slather and Gilmore declared ' The death of cypherpunks '. The long-running civil-war between governance by code or down by law. Adam has always eschewed the overtly political so tilting toward code even when situations get blurred and ' code is law ' and ' code is whatever Mongo sez it is '. Temperamentally conservative he capitalized brilliantly off Btc and helped build the WL Trojan Horse. There is no-one else in this space with this sort of hefty reputation capital. Its a citadel in its own right. The Blockstream satellite almost just a cherry on top. Praise with faint damns for the bullgoose loony cypherpunk disguised as a meek, mild mannered publicist for a major metropolitan newspaper. If he ever needs a doorman for the Blockstream building. Here I am.

Appeal to Satoshi
by professor rat 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

Satoshi, if you're listening, please tell us what a carpetbagging waste-of-time Julian Assmange is, since you created at least some cryptoanarchist value while he keeps trying to drag our good name through the mud. The first drafts of world history are being written - surely you don't want to be handcuffed to this cretin for all eternity. Your machine kills secrets - go tell it on a mountain.
