For a fair and brotherly revisionist history of cypherpunks
by pro2rat＠yahoo.com.au 10 Sep '23

10 Sep '23

Since winners write the histories this is an exciting time to be a Cpunk. And by adopting Pete's revisionist history extending our Golden Age from 2000 to 2009 ought to be a snack. Cypherpunks demigod, Bram, releases Bittorrent early noughties. Ditto our undecovers in the Navy release Tor. 2008 for Dog. Bingo! We're back, baby! Crypto Winters are for Wimps, amirite! To the victor, the spoils.

Peter's pence

I gather Peter F worries that if he murders Semich he'd be lucky to get his 2k sats from someone whose misplaced over 50k USDs worth. I appreciate his concern. That's why I wrote here just before he did in favor of some successor to the Big God. A better common and convenient currency is possible! And now we have strong AI allies this will arrive sooner rather than later. I promise you.

The anarchist Fort Zinderneuf

I know some self described anarchists who dabble in graverobbing. The sort who would claim the likes of Bill Haywood, Daniel Deleon and James Connolly for anarchism. If youse like I could ask them to prop Satoshi, half US Navy Intelligence and Jim Dumbell up on our ramparts. And if they're not dead yet so much the better! Render unto Cpunks what is Ceasar's, yar?

Fair enough that Tor and APster have teething problems

Like Blacknet does - look where Julio is right now. Brr! But we choose to go to the moon and do the other things not because they are easy but because they are hard!

Bitcoin and BitTorrent both wonderfully successful ideas

Cpunks should claim as much credit as possible for these. Everyone a remailer and Everyone a Mint Genius!

Bitcoin, TOR, bittorent & APster, all have plausible deniability as Cpunk projects. Bram may disagree but Btc wasn't released here. Tor is govt originally & Dumbell keeps telling us he doesn't owe us a damn thing. That said most, or all these things are successful enough - like Blacknet! - to go on with. On to CYPHERPUNK 2027! APster also did yeomans work as a form of radical civil disobedience circa 1996 - 2004 Even if I can't get arrested these days. Meh. BTW if you don't think you'll get paid maybe you're not cut out to be an anarcho-assassin? " When cypherpunks are called terrorists we will have done our job " - old proverb

Dumbells theory suffers hideous, undescribed abuse
by pro2rat＠yahoo.com.au 10 Sep '23

10 Sep '23

Dumbells theory of contract killing first suffered horrific abuse at the hands of Carl Johnson, originator of the " Dead Lucky " distro. This was undescribed by Bell. That was in the 1990s - later on - in the early noughties it then suffered appalling abuse in the paws of Matt Taylor aka " professor rat". Though this was reported in MSM, it remained undescribed by Bell. Of course he was in prison for 12 years, but, since release has described his theory being treated well by complete cowards. The Antistate dotcom loser and the assassination market loser. If Jim is helping to pick this ripe plum - one he's predicted to fall! - then hes clearly more comfortable with rank cowards who favor the " Black Box " approach. Losers! Jeff Berwick will back me up on this. It was on YouTube. Look, tl/dr this world historic jackass is less a utilitarian than a timewasting gasbag & a grandstanding showboat. Very assange. Another fraud on the public. APster goes on without you Jim. Anarchism don' need no thought leaders like you. You suck - go die.

This Bell is cracked

As much respect as I once had for Jim Bell, I believe that in his recent statements he is obfuscating the cryptoanarchist situation. First off, I was unaware of the existence of APster till I read a " Crypto convict won't recant " story in WIRED That was in late 2000. While acting on this lead I became a subject of my own WIRED story - " Online Cincy cop threat ", in May 2001. No direct cypherpunk input required. I only started posting at Cpunks after 9-11 By then Jim was sentenced to a decade behind bars. Most cypherpukes washed their hands of him and so became an infamous and unholy "Circle of Eunuchs" ( thanks CJ ) Around this time they also collectively declined to support Ryan Lackey, so I felt justified in spamming them for a year or two. It speaks volumes about this reactionaries garbage pail list that their hero, May, deprecated APster right up till July 2003 when the fascist USG approved PAM FutureMaps. Faint hearts like this never win fair maidens and so the rotten creep dropped dead a few years later. Politically May and Bell are close - and so Bells recent neo-fascist dabblings in Prague and Mexico raise alarms. Anarchism doesn't need any Randite, Paultard, Austro-libertarian MORONS spank you very much! If Dumbell is so appreciative of the Mong dynasty he should book a crypt in there with him and John Galton. Hasta luego you obscurantist zombie - and good riddance. We will bury you!

Jim Bell 1995 Posts and More
by professor rat 10 Sep '23

10 Sep '23

Interesting these turned up ( Like never blame conspiracy when stupidity will cover it? ) I flicked through the headers and read a couple - nothing jumps out as hugely actionable by the USG - maybe Jim can correct me? Note the presence of one " Vulis ". I understand he was a list Troll back then - along with " Detweiler ". This before " Choate ' and . . . Semich. The govt agents you have when you're not having govt agents. I will drill down on all the AP posts there and report back. May take a day or two. Just relax. This is fine.
