I clicked the URL in your first email - the second one worked - as did a Google search. So, onto your query - I understand " Coderpunks " answers the more technical questions. Have you tried them? My knowledge of Signal is colored by my impression that Moxie Marlinspike can't be trusted. He quotes Marx approvingly. Goes MIA for decades. Does fluffy interviews with the shitty likes of Joe Rogan and Nuclear Wintour. Why I call him " Poxie Fishook ".

Seems the " Pedophile " Horseman is the only one with legs since terrorism, assassination and drugs keep falling at the hurdles ( Jury trials) Cryptoanarchist consensus could put down this nag overnight with some informal prosecutions ( prosecutions with extreme prejudice! ) via beefed up deadpools. The four horsemen of the statist infopocalypse are rapidly reaching their use-by date. We can replace them soon - maybe " Hostile aliens, closet-fascists, billionaires and WL supporters "? Your mileage may vary.

Underlines the importance of two things 1) Moving rapidly to global cryptoanarchy - all encryption - all the time, and... 2 ) Encouraging existing dead pools ( like Stiffs dotcom ) to include more anti-social criminals. The respected anarchist, Errico Malatesta has written about some of these issues. https://www.theyliewedie.org/ressources/biblio/en/Malatesta_Errico_-_Crime_…
