"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." [Benjamin Franklin] this was a wise guy.. now think about how many times you are choosing safety over liberty and we will see what you deserve in B. Franklin words

after reading part of the text.. one of the main points is privacy and the option to be anonymous or pseudoanonymous in internet you cannot trust others.. so, you need protection aka privacy remember, PRIVACY and ANON as central values of crypto

"Cypherpunks write code" is almost our mantra. Cypherpunks place more importance in actually changing things, in actually getting working code out, than in merely talking about how things "ought" to be. you are going to cry.. but this is just the most famous Marx quote rewritten.. "The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it." Marx These words are also inscribed upon his grave xd and I am going to ask to get this written in mine "Cypherpunks write code" .. that or "J was here"

+ "I've just gotten very upset at something--should I vent my anger on the mailing list?" - By all means! If you're fed up doing your taxes, or just read something in the newspaper that really angered you, definitely send an angry message out to the 700 or so readers and help make _them_ angry! - Find a bogus link to crypto or privacy issues to make it seem more relevant.

"What does "Cypherpunks write code' mean?" - a clarifying statement, not an imperative - technology and concrete solutions over bickering and chatter - if you don't write code, fine. Not everyone does (in fact, probably less than 10% of the list writes serious code, and less than 5% writes crypto or security software

"Who runs the Cypherpunks?" Nobody. There's no formal "leadership." No ruler = no head = an arch = anarchy. (Look up the etymology of anarchy.)

- Second, "read the sources." Read "1984," "The Shockwave Rider," "Atlas Shrugged," "True Names." Read the Chaum article on making Big Brother obsolete (October 1985, "Communications of the ACM")

"If I've just joined the Cypherpunks list, what should I do?" - Read for a while. Things will become clearer, themes will emerge, and certain questions will be answered.

2.3. "What's the 'Big Picture'?" 2.3.1. Strong crypto is here. It is widely available. 2.3.2. It implies many changes in the way the world works. Private channels between parties who have never met and who never will meet are possible. Totally anonymous, unlinkable, untraceable communications and exchanges are possible. 2.3.3. Transactions can only be *voluntary*, since the parties are untraceable and unknown and can withdraw at any time. This has profound implications for the conventional approach of using the threat of force, directed against parties by governments or by others. In particular, threats of force will fail. 2.3.4. What emerges from this is unclear, but I think it will be a form of anarcho-capitalist market system I call "crypto anarchy." (Voluntary communications only, with no third parties butting in.

"If you disagree with my opinion, and you think you can change my mind, or cause me to include your opinion as an elaboration or as a dissenting view, then send it. If your point requires long debate or is a deep disagreement, then I doubt I have the time or energy to debate. If you want your views heard, write your own FAQ!" (lol, opportunity client xd)
