/biz/ - Business & Finance

Honestly, I was hoping he wouldn't be brought up because there's so much noise when it comes to CSW. I've yet to see a single civil discussion about the guy on /biz/... but yeah I think so too. People like to think of "cypherpunks" as enigmatic hackers that want to take the banks and gov down with math, but they're actually just passive aggressive boomers (well used to be, make no mistake, bitcoin ruined "cypherpunk" culture and from what I hear it has been inundated with commies and losers over the past 2 years). Craig is interesting because if you look at his pre-2008 stuff, on forums and blogs, he's pretty consistent with the idea that infosec is a matter of economics and incentives and most of his real work is in forensics and networking, which I see as the missing puzzle piece that other cypherpunks like Szabo or Adam Back could never work out properly.

What's interesting too is if you look at the Metzdowd mailing list, Csw and Kleiman were mentioned in a thread made a couple weeks after the Bitcoin white paper and Kleiman was actually an active poster.
