but each has a few drawbacks... I just want to be able to stand up a vps without kyc, pay anonymously, connect only through Tor and be reasonably sure it'll stay online in the medium term. What are the other options besides remote VPS? I suppose a Tor hidden service at home would work, but that limits traffic to Tor connections, which is not ideal.

on second thought, it's not **building** specifically we're lacking, it's acting. and courage. we probably already have enough devs and tools. what we need are brave agorists building actual grey societies and markets. ..or they're already out there and i'm not privy. best case scenario!

maybe i get to obvious-and-well-known conclusions through circuitous pathways with far too much thinking aloud on nostr, but after some reflection and writing, i've come to this practical upshot: the most effective and safe path forward is to BUILD, fast and hard. Be extremely defensive and **expect the worst** - increasingly so as success accumulates to the overall space. Do not _ultimately_ trust ANY public figures in the privacy space, but especially not those who are identifiable and not obviously seeking martyrdom. don't trust, verify. Operate **as if** the enemies of privacy are highly-effective and motivated to stop you - but pay attention to signals that this may actually be untrue (and consider what this would mean about everything you've been told). it just always comes back to personal responsibility and skepticism. Either way, seeking to do no harm and build peaceful Exit is always the best approach. and seriously consider full pseudonymity. View quoted note →

proposed terms for this so that we can usefully discuss it. please add more suggestions. we can have a poll the CIA Paradox (Cypherpunk yet Identifiable Anarchist Paradox) the ParaDOXxed PRIVACY (Paradox of Radical Ignorance towards Verifable Anarcho-CYpherpunks) PRIVATE (Paradox: the Referenced Insidious Violent Agencies Tolerate Extremists) View quoted note →

re: privacy: either the State is not as bad as you think, or: the tools we use are not actually a threat (at this scale), and: every publicly-identifiable cypherpunk is a State actor is there a term for this paradox? is it already being discussed somewhere and i just haven't found it?
