I wonder if Tim May is embarrased at having mande such a blatantly wrong predicion.
He wasn't wrong. Anonymous communication is fairly easy now.
Stupid, blatant lie.
But for most of us most of the time, there is no need.
Because we live in a libertarian world, right? So are you crazy beyond all hope, or just an establishment mouthpiece?
That's the real revolution, although off topic.
There hasn't been any revolution. Only crazies completely out of touch with reality would believe otherwise.
That we have options and methods is on topic.
LMAO. You want to dictate what is on or off topic? You the champion of 'free' speech? What a cute clown you are Stephen.
" Interactions over networks will be untraceable, via extensive re- routing of encrypted packets and tamper-proof boxes which implement cryptographic protocols with nearly perfect assurance against any tampering."
Where are such networks operating?
Government networks work that way.
Aaaaannnd, yes! You've done it. You are saying with a straight face, in the fucking cypherpunks mailing list, that the people who have the 'cypherpunk tools' are the government nazis...that the cypherpunks were supposed to overthrow. What's wrong with you Stephen? =)
Others generally can use less intensive solutions to get a good enough result. Do you think that anyone savvy and not a target of anti-terrorism has trouble communicating securely?
I know for a fact that is the case. The whole infrastructure is sabotaged. Only a government agent would deny it.
We should keep examining theory, writing code, finding good solutions. There are definitely interesting problems left. My favorite thought experiment:
Dude, the cypherpunk movement is pretty much a failure. Why don't you get the basic problems fixed first, before embarking in more deranged speculation?
What we do have is completely sabotaged hardware courtesy of Intel Inc, a criminal organization that May had something to do, I believe..
Worry about whatever you want to worry about.
What's the problem Stephen? You are too much of a despicable coward to face reality? Again : your motherfucking americunt corporations have sabotaged all the 'information technology' infrastructure. Do you understand? Is that ON TOPIC, RETARD?
Oh...
Arguing whether the end of the world is coming or whose fault it is or who is making political or military mistakes is all completely off topic.
Sure. It's especially important that the political 'mistakes' of the american nazis be completely 'ignored'.
Completely off topic. And ignorant. But especially off topic.
