cypherpunk mailing list

The Cypherpunk mailing list was an influential online group formed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, where privacy advocates, cryptographers, and technologists discussed ways to use encryption and digital technology to protect individual privacy and civil liberties. It promoted ideas like secure digital communication, cryptography, and privacy-preserving technologies, which eventually contributed to the development of modern tools such as Bitcoin. Think of it as a digital frontier where experts collaborated to develop systems ensuring personal privacy and freedom in an increasingly connected world.
