Quote from: Guru on August 01, 2012, 01:15 amI disagree with you, in the sense that you do not need to control the venue in which your messages are posted. Rather, what is needed is a publicly-available venue which contains a large amount of anonymized, strongly-encrypted message traffic. Such a venue already exists, and has for almost two decades -- the cypherpunks referred to it as an anonymous message pool. I am, of course, referring to the Usenet newsgroup alt.anonymous.messages (or a.a.m. for short). I haven't used AAM for a while, probably should again soon.Quote from: Guru on August 01, 2012, 01:15 amA large number of anonymized, encrypted messages appear there each day. As the Subject: lines of the articles posted there are encrypted, one has to use software to retrieve one's messages from the anonymous message pool, such as AAMFetch. Got any software suggestions that don't rely on Java and/or BCPG libraries?Quote from: Guru on August 01, 2012, 01:15 amI've been using a.a.m. for years as the target to which my anonymous email traffic is posted. The beauty of using a.a.m. for a destination, is that, even should the nymservers be raided, and my encrypted reply block fall into the hands of the authorities, they will only be able to use the information contained in the block to winnow my encrypted message traffic out of the pool. They will not be able to locate me, nor will they be able to ready my message traffic. As the messages are widely distributed, available from dozens, if not hundreds, of providers worldwide, I can access my messages through a wide variety of sources, scattered all over the planet, unlike accessing a conventional email account, where one has to login to one particular provider. That's always been one of the more appealing aspects of AAM.There's really no telling how many completely concealed and untrackable transactions, whether it be for drugs, information, other contraband or other services have gone through there over the years.If SR makes politicians and LE worry, AAM should make them shit bricks (even if it is almost certainly being used by spooks too).
