I've heard that there are still people out there who don't know about Homegrown Hits.

New York’s FY 2027 budget law mandates surveillance software in every 3D printer sold in the state. The software must scan each print job in real time and block any that could produce firearm components. Pilot tests flagged 17% of innocent designs such as brackets and bottle openers. The law also makes it a Class E felony to possess or share a 3D-printable file capable of producing a firearm component. If it rhymes with printing press control, it's right. But this time, don't call it censorship, it's called progress and you voted for it. Coming to 3D printer near you soon.

This newsletter is cool, it's a bridge between cypherpunk world and the old world, so we can live fully.

Cypherpunk communities and services – who you meet on the parallel path Most cypherpunk resources focus on technology and skip the social layer. Big mistake. Technology alone rarely suffices. Communities and service providers are what make it actually usable. A few problems: Communities "don't count", service providers are evil ("they take fees! it should be free!"). And religious dogmatism.

Cypherpunkové komunity a služby - koho stretnete na paralelnej ceste Väčšina cypherpunk zdrojov sa sústredí na technológiu a preskakuje sociálnu vrstvu. Veľká chyba. Technológia sama o sebe väčšinou nestačí. Komunity a poskytovatelia služieb sú to, čo ju robí použiteľnou. Pár problémov: komunity „sa nerátajú", poskytovatelia služieb sú zlí („berú si poplatky! malo by to byť zadarmo!"). A náboženský dogmatizmus. V knihe Krotitelia Entropie sú hlavnými postavami práve poskytovatelia - dokonca "VCs". Potrebujeme ich v realite a myslím, že je fajn začať tým, že na nich zmeníme pohľad, cez super román to môže byť dobrý spôsob.

For most of human history, the bread problem was solved by money. You hand the baker coins, the baker hands you bread, neither of you needs to know the other's name. Reputation only became necessary once we introduced asynchrony and reversibility: credit, chargebacks, pay-later. The seller has to bet on who you are instead of what you paid, and that bet is what accounts, KYC, fraud scoring, and social graphs are pricing. Identity theatre is unpriced credit risk in a uniform. Cashu and Routstr collapse that detour. Bearer ecash for an LLM call is structurally identical to coins for bread. Settled on the spot, no counterparty bet, no recourse needed because there's nothing to recover. We didn't invent anything. We walked back to where we started after a few centuries of building ledgers, banks, and identity systems to patch the holes in deferred payment. Money → identity theatre → money. The cypherpunk point here is boring: finality is cheaper than verification.
