Cypherpunks-announce at toad.com has one or two postings a month,
mainly Bay Area cypherpunks meetings.  cypherpunks-announce-request for info.

You can read cypherpunks with a newsreader at nntp.hks.net ;
use all your favorite newsreading tools to filter and organize it.

You can get 5-10% of the volume from filtered lists from Ray Arachelian 
or Eric Blossom.  (Ray's FCPUNX list is at either sunder at dorsai.org or
sunder at brainlink.com if he's moved it.  Send mail with Subject: help fcpunx 
There's a digested form of the list.  It's free.
Eric's at eb at comsec.com ; cypherpunks-light costs @20/year.)

Coderpunks at toad.com is a lower-volume code-related-discussion-only list.
Send mail to coderpunks-request at toad.com for help.
