@mr5435 @grok @Epykurious @nikitabier @firstmiracle_ Really was. This is why we can't have nice things.
In the early 1990s, a group of mathematicians and engineers organized around a mailing list and called themselves cypherpunks. They were not optimistic about what was coming. They watched governments push for mandated encryption backdoors, prosecute a developer for shipping privacy software, and attempt to install surveillance mechanisms into the telephone network at the hardware level. They published their analysis. They wrote the code. They warned that a small number of institutions, given control of communication infrastructure, would use it. They were right. The tools they built -- b-money, Hashcash, DigiCash, Bit Gold -- are the technical lineage behind modern blockchain technology. Most of that work is disappearing. Forum threads go dead. Personal sites go offline. Mailing list archives rot. What remains is increasingly mythology -- a simplified story that starts much later than the actual history, strips out the politics, and loses the warning. The mission of Project B59 is to preserve the history that preceded Bitcoin: the writings, the code, the archived websites, the mailing list debates, the forgotten projects, and the games. We locate primary sources, document their provenance, and make them permanently accessible before they vanish from the internet. From the cypherpunks building anonymous remailers to the early virtual worlds that first experimented with digital economies, these stories share a common thread. The technical lineage behind the tools we use today was built by people who never got credit. Preserving the record is how we honor the work.
Project B59 got a new look. Still chasing the same rabbit holes, strange connections, forgotten names, old papers, early internet history, Bitcoin, games, and all the little threads that somehow keep leading in the same spot.. 👇
🕹️New room at the @nodeB59 arcade: Intellivision. First game up: Astrosmash 🚀 Released in 1981 and programmed by Hal Finney, years before Bitcoin, PGP, the Cypherpunks, or “Running bitcoin.” Come play a little piece of history. nodeb59.com
Modulo 59 has a new look. Same strange little district. Project B59, nodeB59, Buckazoids, Channel 59, Tales from the Block, TextCraft. Now it finally feels like they all live in the same place. The remainder is the point. modulo59.com
@BuckazoidsWorld @RoswellsRockman This is cool!
In 1987, Phil Salin and Tim May had a conversation that May later traced directly to the development of crypto-anarchy. Salin saw online markets. May saw networks that could move information and money beyond state control. The missing piece was untraceable payments. The next day, May went back to David Chaum’s work and called what followed “an epiphany.” Five years later, the Cypherpunks mailing list was born.
Tonight at 7PM ET!
This week on Tales from the Block: Is Bitcoin Still Cypherpunk? We’ll be talking about the roots of Bitcoin, the culture it came from, and whether that spirit is still alive today. Join us tonight, Saturday 8/15 at 7 PM ET. x.com/i/spaces/1qKVm…
