Some of Chaum's rank bs sounds horribly familiar.  Oh yeah.  We once had a self described ' cypherpunk revolutionary ' right here who tried to convince  the world he was a '  Founding Father '  and brayed about all the repression he might have suffered before he opted for corpse-media, govt-approved and registered journalism. ASFAIK both Mange and Chaum still have yet to recognize cypherpunk list contributors suffered actual physical police repression from 95 - 2003. And cypherpunk list activities were cited at documented trials in the US and Australia. Cypherpunk list contributors were jailed - one for over a decade! Carpetbaggers, pretenders, fakes and frauds jest at scars that never felt the wound. But they will feel some real wounds very soon, I promise you. Cheats never prosper.
