And that all those "punk without crypto issues" AFFECT the crypto in the most serious way!
I was thinking along similar lines, given that "Fuck you, I do what I want" is as good a working definition of Punk as any. On the other hand there is the Cypher- component of the title, so herding the anarchists in that general direction topic-wise is a community service in the category of maintenance: A thankless menial task that makes the rest possible. Anarchy is a journey, not a destination, so there is no point at which one can hang up a "mission accomplished" banner. But Dilbert's pointy haired boss just got orders from /his/ boss to put back doors in the company's crypto-enabled products: http://dilbert.com/strip/2016-04-18 http://dilbert.com/strip/2016-04-19 http://dilbert.com/strip/2016-04-20 http://dilbert.com/strip/2016-04-21 http://dilbert.com/strip/2016-04-22 Also this: "Michael Hayden, the former head of the CIA and the NSA, thinks the US government should stop railing against encryption and should support strong crypto rather than asking for backdoors." https://motherboard.vice.com/read/former-nsa-chief-strongly-disagrees-with-c... vs. https://tinyurl.com/gpoxmhl It would not be accurate to say that the Cypherpunks have won the Crypto Wars that too is a journey, not a destination. But damn. Meanwhile, kicking around some of the "real world" topics that make crypto-anarchy relevant and necessary IRL seems appropriate to me, as long as the crypto- side of the equation doesn't get drowned out by the -anarchy side. Subscribers who air their passionate ignorance on the political front serve as a reminder that propagandists see "smart people" as nothing but another demographic with exploitable weaknesses, an object lesson for all the "rebellious" folks out there. :o)
