Hi Everybody,

In a very informal way I would like to start a book club. As of now I will assume I am part of a 1-person book club. I will hold my book club every Wednesday starting December 5th. I have already read it, so I am cheating, but I will be reading Cryptoanarchy, Cyberstates and Pirate Utopias and then coming to AHA to spread the word of cryptoanarchy to the cyberheathens.

Piracy is among the most heinous of all possible crimes, so I beg of you: Please do NOT go to this link and download the book. Doing so will only hurt the intellectual labor of the people who wrote the book. It will only swallow their hopes and dreams and destroy the future of humanity.

Again, do not download a full PDF copy of the book from here: https://monoskop.org/images/4/42/Ludlow_Peter_Crypto_Anarchy_Cyberstates_and_Pirate_Utopias.pdf

It will make you a very bad person.

I will be at AHA on Wednesday, December 5th at 7:00pm.

See you then?

I am in full support of this book club idea.

So I guess it's a good thing there's so much going on Wednesday night, but I might be at the Rust meetup. Despite that I'm still interested, so a couple of questions:

1. How much should we read by Wednesday?

2. Can we also discuss on the noise list as well as in person (if I can't make it)?

3. Do you really expect me to download a PDF from the guy who runs the malware meetup? :)

Thanks!

- James

I initially shared this on both the noise and main lists because 1) I wanted to make main list people aware of the event and 2) I want to advertise the noise list.

Switching to noise only so we don't have more email drama.

1. I am amenable to the reading goals and schedules of anybody who wants to participate. That being said, I think reading the first 5 essays (up to Part 2: Cryptoanarchy) would be a good goal.

2. I highly encourage heavy discussion on the noise list. It is for information anarchy where we share dank memes, project progress and pretty much anything else we want.

3. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

maybe? :D

Just run it through an AV engine. It's "fine"! ;) <3

Just requested the dead tree version from MeL. Until then I'll be viewing that PDF on my air-gapped computer in the faraday cage.

Sorry I missed this, but now I know how to use the CNC to etch my own PCBs (among other things)! How'd it go? Anyone interesting in discussing on list?

I thought it went reasonably well. It was Zandi, Craig and I.

We discussed the various topics covered in the first part of the book (which would be exhausting to type out completely).

We decided to reconvene in 2 weeks on the 19th at 7pm. The topics open for discussion will be anything covered in Part 1 and the first half of Part 2.

Just a reminder that the next book club meeting is this Wednesday at 7pm!

Any section is open for discussion but this week we'll be opening up Part 2 of the book entitled Crypto Anarchy for discussion.

Happy reading!

Plaintext readers:

The next date of the book club will not be for some time as the next upcoming wednesday of 1/2 is a cleaning night, the next is a board meeting and the next is a malware development meetup.

This leaves our next meeting opportunity as Wednesday, January 30th at 7:00pm.

I will post some reminders so we don't forget. The open discussion topics at that point will be everything from the beginning of the book up to the end of Part 2.

Happy reading, hope to see you there!
