Yeah stay away from Twitter Jim. Its bunch of junks and rants (including mine) follow up with more rants uh, tweets. By the way I check out your fiber invention link below. The address on file is still back at the prison, you probably want to change that just as an fyi. -Joe ________________________________ From: Jim Bell <jamesdbell8@yahoo.com> To: cypherpunks <cypherpunks@riseup.net>; "barlow@eff.org" <barlow@eff.org>; "cypherpunks@cpunks.org" <cypherpunks@cpunks.org>; "gnu@toad.com" <gnu@toad.com> Sent: Thursday, January 2, 2014 8:26 AM Subject: Re: Jim Bell comes to Cypherpunks? Twitter for me? My impression is that this is more for issues where seconds, minutes, or hours count. I don't know who I'd want to follow so closely as to monitor Twitter. As for me saying something? Well, I don't know if I have that much to say. It's not like I don't have opinions...I have many of them. But, right now the world is awash in opinions, from blogs to twitter. What would I talk about...uh...other than the obvious? What, in general, would people want ME to talk about? Further, right now my main interest is in promoting and developing my isotope-modified fiber optic invention. http://www.freepatentsonline.com/WO2013101261A1.html Jim Bell ________________________________ From: cypherpunks <cypherpunks@riseup.net> To: John Gilmore <gnu@toad.com> Cc: "barlow@eff.org" <barlow@eff.org>; Bell Jim <jamesdbell8@yahoo.com>; "cypherpunks@riseup.net" <cypherpunks@riseup.net> Sent: Wednesday, January 1, 2014 1:45 PM Subject: Re: Jim Bell comes to Cypherpunks? I've no idea if there're any physical cpunks meetings. Living in Europe and visiting some hacker conferences and hackerspaces from time to time. Guess - it would be you Golden State guys to do some. On the other side - Jim, how about open a twitter account and be part of the social media thingy too? :) --Michael Am 01.01.2014 um 20:08 schrieb John Gilmore <gnu@toad.com>:
Are there physical cypherpunks meetings these days? I don't know of any. There are many hackerspaces in various cities that have regular meetings, but I don't attend any and don't know which ones relate to cypherpunk topics.
We (or anybody) could restart such meetings, I suppose...
