Oi, group identity in any anarchist-friendly venue can't be enforced by any kind of coercive authority, else it is not an anarchist-friendly venue. Fighting over the definition of the group is only fun until somebody wins.
Apologies, my last remark wasn't too clear. "understanding of the political significance of cryptography" What I meant is that cypherpunks seem to put too much emphasis on the political benefits and 'significance' of crypto when in reality crypto doesn't really solve politicals problems.
