There was a recent PGP message encrypted for Blacknet that sailed by on the list. This message did not discuss any topic relevant to cypherpunks from what I could read, since, a fortiori it didn’t say anything I could read.
Encrypted traffic such as this is inappropriate for this list. Take it elsewhere.
Tim and I have already invented the proper forum for this. It’s a usenet newgroup called
alt.w.a.s.t.e(Read Pynchon to get the joke) The charter for this group is that it takes only encrypted messages. No plaintext allowed. Discussions about alt.w.a.s.t.e must therefore occur in a separate discussion group, named according to Usenet convention
alt.w.a.s.t.e.dIf someone would kindly create these two groups, the BlackNet folks can revise their announcement appropriately.
I was waiting for some reason to create the newsgroup, because I didn’t know what traffic would go across it. Now there is some, and it deserves its own home.
