Lucky Green Quits Tor Hard [re: Tor Replaces Its Entire Board]

""""" Tonga (Bridge Authority) Permanent Shutdown Notice 2016-07-16T01:06:25Z Dear friends, Given recent events, it is no longer appropriate for me to materially contribute to the Tor Project either financially, as I have so generously throughout the years, nor by providing computing resources. This decision does not come lightly; I probably ran one of the first five nodes in the system and my involvement with Tor predates it being called "Tor" by many years. Nonetheless, I feel that I have no reasonable choice left within the bounds of ethics, but to announce the discontinuation of all Tor-related services hosted on every system under my control. Most notably, this includes the Tor node "Tonga", the "Bridge Authority", which I recognize is rather pivotal to the network Tonga will be permanently shut down and all associated crytographic keys destroyed on 2016-08-31. This should give the Tor developers ample time to stand up a substitute. I will terminate the chron job we set up so many years ago at that time that copies over the descriptors. In addition to Tonga, I will shut down a number of fast Tor relays, but the directory authorities should detect that shutdown quickly and no separate notice is needed here. I wish the Tor Project nothing but the best moving forward through those difficult times, --Lucky """""

Changed 47 seconds ago by cypherpunks Tor spoke doing as SJW's did, part and parcel. Tor is vulnerable to GPA etc. Tor eats at table of USGOV. Tor is in the hands of pop meta players now, not OG hackers and activists.
I wouldn't be surprised if "cypherpunks" is grarpamp. Anyway, whoever "cypherpunks" is, he's a dumb liar. Tor always was vulnerable to 'GPAs', always was funded by the US nazis, and completely in bed with the US gov't. Any 'hackers' who worked for tor were and are nothing but unprincipled US gov't lapdogs.

Tor bug tracker uses "cypherpunks" for anonymous postings.

AHAHA! That's even crazier...

""""" Tonga (Bridge Authority) Permanent Shutdown Notice 2016-07-16T01:06:25Z
Dear friends, Given recent events, it is no longer appropriate for me to materially contribute to the Tor Project either financially, as I have so generously throughout the years, nor by providing computing resources. This decision does not come lightly; I probably ran one of the first five nodes in the system and my involvement with Tor predates it being called "Tor" by many years. Nonetheless, I feel that I have no reasonable choice left within the bounds of ethics, but to announce the discontinuation of all Tor-related services hosted on every system under my control.
I wonder what triggered this. The Appelbaum mess? Board change? Probably some back story about one or both. Maybe it'll leak :)

"...within the bounds of ethics..." can mean a lot of different things. Maybe this person didn't like the way ioerror was SLANDERED. Maybe a rift in the Board about how much say the gubmint gets in the project and it just got replaced with a majority sold out to teh gubmint. I might add IF there was some new MAJOR problem within tor software itself ioerror or this guy would surely be blowing that whistle... Now that there's been a purge, that could change. People like schneier might be reasonable and ethical watchdogs but he CERTAINLY isn't someone who can spot the problems in the code. Rr

Well, who leaked that? Some possibilities include: 1. Someone legally subscribed to tor-internal. 2. Someone illegally subscribed to tor-internal. 3. Someone owning the mail server/network near it. 4. Someone owning tor developer subscribed.

Not that there's anything profound about it's contents all, and if leaked by hostile parties notifies them they need to 'tighten up' to prevent more of the same. Rr

Tor internal? What is that? What, the tor cunts, the universal champions of 'transparency' (and human rights!) have a little 'secret' list to discuss their little dirty secrets? =) Aren't they oh so cute and transparent!
