So interesting and at the same time somewhat sad to see how hopeful cypherpunks were regarding the prospects of privacy. Back in 1995 it seemed like privacy was getting momentum and most people would naturally embrace privacy oriented tools. "I conclude that privacy marketing will be an important value-add for Internet commerce. It will be a terrific way to gain market share at the expense of the competition -- or to lose much of your market share, if you find yourself on the wrong end of a privacy campaign." – Nick Szabo 29 years later it's obvious that the fight for privacy is never-ending. Luckily there is an intolerant minority of privacy advocates that stands behind its principles and works hard on creating and popularizing privacy tools. Embrace privacy!

Here's a question to early cypherpunks and #Bitcoin historians: How come the first BIP was created on 19th of August 2011, but the announcement of the new Bitcoin Enhancement Proposal aka BEP was made on bitcointalk only a month later. What's the correct timeline here? Was the first BIP originally a BEP to later get changed to be a BIP? Proposal on GitHub: bitcointalk post: #asknostr

If I send a gift wrapped DM, does a user of a client not supporting gift wrapped messages receive it? #asknostr
