  Cypherpunk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cypherpunks (cipher+punk) comprise an informal group of people interested in privacy and cryptography who originally communicated through the cypherpunks mailing list.
The term cypherpunk was coined by Jude Milhon as a pun to describe cyberpunks who used cryptography.
Cypherpunk, cypherpunks or cpunks are also occasionally used as a username and password on websites which require registration, especially if the user does not intend to return or does not wish to reveal information about themself.

 How to use the Cypherpunks Remailers
Although this is less power than some other remailers provide, the Cypherpunks remailers do not require the operator to have root privileges on the machine which runs the remailer.
The simple Cypherpunks remailers don't keep any kind of table information, so it is necessary to embed all of the necessary information in the anonymous address itself.
The anonymous addresses provided by the Cypherpunks remailers are not nearly as easy to use as the automatic aliases maintained by some of the other remailers.

 Cypherpunks Tent — What The Hack   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
You may not remember the name of the tent, but you likely at one point or another stumbled into a tent that had a DJ, a wild dance floor full of people, and a bunch of geeks brute forcing the scans of the legally exported printed PGP 5.0 source code past the per-page checksum.
If you stayed or even hung out at the Cypherpunks tent for HIP '97 and are interested in a repeat or if you didn't make it to HIP '97 but are a cryptanarchist at heart, send me an email if this sounds interesting.

Second, the nearly simultaneous appearance of remailers (the Kleinpaste/Julf- style and the Cypherpunks "mix"-style) fit in well with the sudden awareness about PGP and crypto issues.
Anybody is free to do nearly anything, just not free to commit others to course of action, or control the machine resources the list now runs on, or claim to speak for the "Cypherpunks" as a group (and this last point is unenforceable except through reptutation and social repercussions).
Another reason to be glad there is no formal Cypherpunks structure, ruling body, etc., is that there is then no direct target for lawsuits, ITAR vioalation charges, defamation or copyright infringement claims, etc.

When asked why the cypherpunks did not long ago decide to create alt.cypherpunks, May answered, "the CP folks don't make collective decisions; there is no group decision on why things aren't done."

There are a few other lists which are the same also, plus there's Jim Choate's -- but his floods of URLs from newsites and other stupid antics is one of the main reasons for the existance of the moderated list.

DCCP is dccp@eff.org, a mailing list for DC-area cypherpunks and others with interestes in privacy, cryptography, security, and networking.
Since the "networking" interests are in both the technical, electronic meaning of the word, and the social and interpersonal meaning of the word, we occasionally meet physically.
The founders of the main cypherpunks list are crypto-anarchists, many on the dccp are too, although no single label does justice to such a diverse goup.
