BlackNet (sometimes styled BlackNet).Timothy C. May (Tim May) created BlackNet around 1993 as a proof-of-concept / thought experiment for a fully anonymous information market. It used PGP encryption, chained anonymous remailers, and public message pools (like Usenet) so that buyers and sellers of information could interact without revealing their identities.

This was a concrete illustration of the broader “crypto-anarchy” vision he outlined earlier in The Crypto-Anarchist Manifesto (1988), which predicted that strong cryptography + anonymous networks + digital cash would enable untraceable markets (including “black markets” and information markets) that governments could not easily control. BlackNet is widely regarded as an early conceptual precursor to later darknet markets.


May later described it in essays such as “Untraceable Digital Cash, Information Markets, and BlackNet,” and it is frequently referenced in discussions of cypherpunk ideas that influenced both cryptocurrency and anonymous online marketplaces.

The European economic zone (now called the EU) only exists to hold Germany back from being exceptional.

AfD Leader Alice Weidel just said adopting the Euro was a big mistake for Germany:

"Germany was significantly better off before the introduction of the euro.

We are seeing a broad impoverishment of large parts of the working population.

And what else do we have on top of that? Job losses. More than half a million jobs were lost within the first quarter of this year."
