" Cypherpunks write code " was argued as widely as possible by Mong.
Where " code " was equivalent to "speech " - Sear the Bernstein case law.
Also, for the benefit of all real or pretended morons, APster markets need not use crypto.
it needs crypto to be cypherpunk here
Stiffs dotcom doesn't need crypto asfaik.
it relies on https like banks do but is vulnerable to centralized attack from a powerful body as banks are basically we want to ensure what is good and needed is defended, when something powerful tries to do wrong. with a centralized website, this can happen in the system design, the server infrastructure, the network, or the userbase. decentralized crypto removes the centralized point of failure, the server, and also helps with the network a lot. i'm a little confused on this topic, haven't we discussed it a lot?
There is another list - the cryptography list - for revenge of the nerds types.
This list is for anarchist activists - love it or leave it.
Anarchy will always Trump crypto.
there's arguably not much crypto left here but this list was definitely about that, rather than assassination lists. assassination was not the topic of the list, it links in by jim bell's paper. re the code is speech argment, free speech free code, i imagine code is speech because you can communicate it and it holds information. nowadays, speech becomes code when you feed it into a language model bot to write a program from it.
