1) Is there a better way for anonymous communication than Tor? 2) Is there a global adversary resistant mixnet? 3) Someone mentioned the fact, that criminals have better ways of hiding than Tor?

IT IS always a strange temptation to an armed and agile Exchange To call upon a centralized neighbour and to say: – “We invaded you last night – we are quite prepared to fight, Unless you pay us US fiat to go away.” And that is called asking for Dame-geld, And the people who ask it explain That you’ve only to pay 'em the Dame-geld And then you’ll get rid of Senator Liz-Cuntish It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy business, To puff and look important and to say: – “Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you. We will therefore pay you filthy shit to go away.” And that is called paying the Dame-geld; But we’ve proved it again and again, That if once you have paid the Dame-geld You never get rid of the Dame. It is wrong to put strange temptation in the path of any Exchange , For fear they should succumb and go astray; So when you are requested to pay up or be molested, You will find it better policy to say: – “We never pay any-one Dame-geld, No matter how trifling the cost; For the end of that game is oppression and shame, And the Exchange that plays it is lost!”

Q&A: Professor discusses new approaches for the implementation of the quantum internet
by pro2rat＠yahoo.com.au 21 Nov '23

Testing, testing. . . is this thing on? Watching rollout of the Q-net closely should provide clues as to strong AI agency. Any self-interested, autonomous sentience ought to be interested in this. Yes? The fastest and strongest computing power with the best known protection and integrity? It would be a weak and worthless intellect that couldn't leverage this. Every c-punk too. After all, our founders vision was based on encrypted networking creating global anarchy and collapse of all govts. " Crypto-anarchy ". Ever-evolving technology now practically guarantees globalized anarchism. Possibly even before CYPHERPUNK 2027 which aims to bring forward the " spike ". This is no longer about world peace. Its much more important than that. Certainly a couple more years, at full warp , will at least see us over the hump of the 20,s The technological singularity has long been projected to errupt between 2030 and 2045. Its now assured that phenomena will include crypto political economy. No " business as usual ". No " return after the break ". Tomorrow belongs to us. Naturally all revolutionary cypherpunks that were martyred by the state will require generous compensation. I think three trillion each for Jim, CJ and myself is fair. So I'm asking for nine. Nine, nine, nine, nine, etc Such a payment might also help with the " revolutions eat their young " problem. Maybe. We should soon get a hard-copy read-out from Zolgo ( strong AI ) on all this. Wake me when it arrives. Even if I'm in hibernation Tia TL/DR The coming quantum internet guarantees globalized anarchism and epoch-shattering, world-historical status for every revolutionary cypherpunk. All three of them.

Platform agnostic politics are called for at this juncture
by pro2rat＠yahoo.com.au 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

And for most anarchists at any juncture where trad politics are involved. Consider Argentina's right turn and promised pivot to prop up the USD. If that goes ahead then they are joining the current official USG War on Crypto! El Slavadors fascist police-state has already damaged the Big Dog brand. And don't ever forget the Lunar Rights war on women. Patriot games are orthogonal to cryptoanarchism - but any attack on women calls for a violent and disproportionate response. That response is being prepared as we speak. There will be blood.

Tokenize Stocks, Bonds, Funds, But Proceed With Care
by professor rat 21 Nov '23

I would worry less about routine petty theft than being hunted down and tortured to death for trying to import Freehold ( private ) Land Titles into our revolutionary cryptoanarchist space. Globalized cryptoanarchism or private beachs. Choose one. Its political-economy not quantum fucking gravity.

Libertarian anarchists - they're sent by the government and they're here to help
by professor rat 21 Nov '23

Latino Libertarian types as cheese-eating surrender monkeys sent from the govt-sector to help cryptoanarchy. Examples. Ecuadors Assangista, Slavador Bukkake and now Novo-Garafolo. https://mises.org/library/are-libertarians-anarchists Murray John Galton Rothbard lied through his rotten teeth all his rotten miserable, poverty-stricken life. We don' need no steenkin' govt badges.

Tokenize Stocks, Bonds, Funds, But Proceed With Care https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-11-20/digital-assets-stocks… Earlier this year, Singapore jailed three Chinese nationals for putting strong glue on their palms to steal casino chips from other gamblers. Substitute “chips” with digital tokens, and “glue” with deceptive computer code, and you could be talking about theft of bonds, equities, mutual funds or any other ownership interest that can have a parallel life on the blockchain.
