Spaceflight fools
by professor rat 26 May '22

26 May '22

Sorry, Spaceflight fuels. I just heard Fusion is being pushed back a few decades. Not even accounting for the singularity. But that's no matter - todays tried and tested systems will do for all the scientific exploring that's required. Anyone posturing about rocket fuels as some sort of ecological disaster probably needs psychiatric attention. They're like those rolled-gold frauds raving and ranting about Btc burning up oceans. In the spirit of accepting 'reinforcements from the future ' I suggest quantum-computing combined with strong AI will help us upload ourselves and that will, in turn, greatly assist the effort to spread out in this galaxy and colonize back-up and respawn-points in a sustainable and defensible manner. Gassing wilderness planets just so meatspace humanity can pollute new worlds is the losers play. An enders game. But youse knew that.

Re: Why starlink has still not yet allowed anonymous crypto prepaid accounts

Happy to stipulate Starlink is no worse than existing ISP's and even praise with faint damns some of the Mollusk's efforts in the realms of renewables, Ukraine, humping Heard, etc But none of that takes anything away from the clear and present danger represented by his proposed unmaskings on Twitter and his ruthless efforts to rape and despoil, virgin wilderness planets. The first will drag some of us back to the dark-ages of 2002 and the second - as I said - could get us all killed.

The Cryptography Mailing List and Reddit's " Cryptography "

" Coderpunks ' may have deceased about 20 years ago. Be aware the walking dead. The Bitcoin Whitepaper was first released on the cryptography mailing list run by computer security expert, Perry Metzger. https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptography/comments/9f8ov7/the_cryptography_mail… Metzger took up where Coderpunks left off and sites like his are where all the Pinhead Nerds belong. Even useful idiot-savant Geeks - like Satoshi

Cypherpunks are not Coderpunks
by professor rat 26 May '22

26 May '22

Cypherpunks discuss crypto-anarchism - Coderpunks delve into technicals of how to deliver that ( or possible coding dangers ) Its like the difference between political-economy and municipal engineering. Occasional overlapping posts are inevitable - and provided in good-faith - essential. Regular streams of coding-related material here though must eventually be regarded as an attack. Especially when they continue after repeated warnings to cease and desist. I don't know why Karl Semich hates our anarchist freedoms. But the remedy is clear. And an APster DDoS is always final.

Sedition, domestic terrorism, & a murder plot. Maybe Trump should be an honorary cypherpunk.
by professor rat 26 May '22

26 May '22

" When c-punks are called terrorists we will have done our job " Old proverb " . . . Trump, in his capacity as President of the United States, called for the death of the Vice President. It doesn’t matter that the military advisers or secret service agents in the room would never have acted on this. It only matters that Trump said it. It also matters greatly that Trump said this while watching a domestic terrorist attack whose specific goal was to murder Pence – as evidenced by the gallows the attackers put out front. . . ." ( Dubious source. Discuss )
