Time for a return of the Cypherpunks, Crypto-Anarchists & Techno-Libertarians?
By contrast, I've noticed the exact opposite phenomenon that the OP describes (mainly, that over the past year or so, neo-cypherpunks have started coming out of the woodwork to prosthelitize things like bitcoin, and terrible in-browser Javascript crypto).I suppose we all see what we want to see.I do wish that there existed a forum for some of the discussions that used to actually happen on the cypherpunks list (even though it would frequently derail into arguments about assasination markets, and paranoid conspiracy theories).
