– 主题介绍 –
网络隐私与安全是基本人权，现在，这一人权正被那些云端计算能力大幅提升的垄断性社交媒体剥夺。对网民来说，拿回丧失的权利将是一场社会和经济的双料革命。在过去十年里，为这一革命做准备的技术已有大幅进展。它们包括公钥加密、点对点加密传输，零知识证明以及各种用于互动、认证和验证的软件协议等。无论如何，我们将都是加密主义者，差别在于人们选择主宰自己权利还是还是被主宰。
Although to ensure one’s privacy and security on the internet are basic human rights, the monopoly and the algorithmic improvement of social media are now preventing the netizens from seizing back their lost human rights. To help netizens retake online privacy and security needs revolutions on both economy and society. Gladly we found that there are plenty of technologies prepared for this revolution have progressed substantially in the past decade, including public key encryption, end-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge proof, and plenty of software protocols that are used in interactions, authentications and verifications. We are aiming to achieve the ultimate possibilities within the existing social system.

Scuttlebutt创始人
Founder of Scuttlebutt
“我是一位休闲娱乐程序员。我主要是作为Scuttlebutt project的创始者和上百个JavaScript模型的写作者为人所知。我现在住在新西兰的一艘小帆船上，每天的任务是修理一切出问题的东西。我觉得简单的事物是最好的，这世界上大部分事物都能以更简单的形式存在。关于Scuttlebutt：Scuttlebutt是一个去中心化的安全Gossip平台。和其他社交平台一样，在这儿你不仅能向你的朋友发送消息，还能把帖子分享到feed上。最酷的是，这里的底层技术允许消息根据点对点（p2p）Gossip协议在用户之间直接传递。作为一个去中心化的社交网络，Scuttlebutt没有任何中央服务器，它的数据是本地化和分布式的，这意味着离线工作也是可行的！另外，Scuttlebutt这个名字来自于“海聊”，即水手和海盗常常喜欢去船上的水冷器边上闲扯。
Scuttlebutt：https://https://scuttlebutt.nz“I am a recreational programmer known for starting the secure scuttlebutt project, and for writing hundreds of JavaScript modules. I live on a sail boat in New Zealand and am on a quest to fix everything. I think it’s best when things are simple, and that most things could be much simpler.About Scuttlebutt:Scuttlebutt is a decentralized secure gossip platform. Like other social platforms, you can send messages to your friends and share posts onto a feed. The cool thing is that the underlying technology here means that messages are passed directly between friends via a peer-to-peer (p2p) gossip protocol. As a decentralized social network, Scuttlebutt passes the data from friend to friend, without any central server. The data is localized and distributed so it also happens to work offline! The name, Scuttlebutt, came from sea-slang for gossip. Basically, like a watercooler on a ship, where sailors and pirates go have a yarn.Scuttlebutt：https://https://scuttlebutt.nz

让我们重写网络
Dominic Tarr: Let’s Rewrite the Web
网络已经在发展中伴随我们近30年了，其普及性和复杂性也与日俱增。到此为止，我们已经拥有了大量的关于网络的知识。我认为目前我们已经积累了足够多的可以简单地回看从网络诞生以来发生的一切的经验。现在，如果我们从Scratch这样简易的编程工具开始会怎样？我将在本次演讲中分享一些对此的看法。
The web has been with us nearly 3 decades, and it’s evolved a lot in that time. It’s also grown massively in complexity. In that time, we have learnt a lot. I think we now have enough experience to look back on everything that has happened in computing since the internet began and simplify it down significantly. So, what would it be like if we just started over from scratch right now? I have some ideas and will share these with you.

由加密主义驱动的数字劳工联盟
Cyber Labor’s Union Powered by Crypto-ism
摘要：我们正生活在赛博时代的开端，而越来越多的数据、资产、价值与社交关系正在转移到赛博空间之中。“人的本质不是单个人所固有的抽象物，在其现实性上，它是一切社会关系的总和”我们，包括我们的生活方式，以及我们的劳动，都已经深深的陷入赛博化之中。
在工业化的社会中，我们劳动者至少拥有物理世界的政府的法律还来保护我们的劳动果实（而这法律经过了多年的斗争）。劳动者们跨越行业或者国家创建了工会和共同的阻止来维护自身的权益和寻求自身的解放。然而，在现今越来越严重的劳动的异化过程中，似乎劳动者自身失去了创建牢不可破的联盟的能力。
“宇宙相信加密是这种物理定律的一个体现，它不听从国家的咆哮，甚至也不听从于跨国监控型反乌托邦。世界必须如此运作，这并非显而易见。但宇宙以某种方式向加密微笑。密码术是非暴力直接行动的终极形式……强大的密码术能够抵抗无限施加的暴力。”加密主义能否成为创建牢不可破的联盟的魔咒？如果可以，这个赛博劳动者联盟会如何创建，又会被加密主义赋予什么样的力量？而我们，潜在的这个新的联盟的成员，如何转移金钱，赋能伙伴，构建一个适合的治理系统，独立构建在这个赛博空间之上？
Abstract: Now we are living in the Cyber Era with more and more data, asset, value and social relashions transferred into the Cyber Space. ‘…the essence of man is no abstraction inherent in each single individual. In reality, it is the ensemble of the social relations.’ We are already deeply Cyberized, as long as our way of living, and our labor.
In the industrized society we, the working class, at least have the law of the physical government to protect our fruit of labor (after years of struggling). The workers formed labor unions across the industris and countries to fight for their right. However right now with the further Alienation of labor, seems the working class lose their capability of forming a unbreakable union.
“The universe believes in encryption…Cryptography is the ultimate form of non-violent direct action… strong cryptograhy can resist an unlimited application of violence.”Can Crypo-ism be the magic spell to form an unbreakable union? If so, how can this Cyber Labor’s Union be formed and powered by Crypto-ism? How do we, the potential member of this new unbreakable union, move money, empower fellows, and form a proper governance independent upon this Cyber Space?We will discuss the early attemps by the Crypto-ist and the progress so far, especially with the development of modern cryptography and decentralized web technology. Then we will talk about how can we contribute in this great battle.
语录与片段
一种可以大大提高隐私的强大武器是加密。加密是将一段信息转换成乱码的过程，而转换后的信息无法用不匹配的密钥解码。当涉及到删除权或被遗忘权时，加密数据可能是对用户来说最方便、最有效的方式，因为加密解决了主动备份的问题。例如，如果一个人删除了他在Facebook上发布的某张图片，他可能之后还会在某个第三方网站上看到这张图片，因为Facebook可以将被删除图片的副本保存在其服务器中（无论有意或无意），并且Facebook还可以与第三方共享这些图片。但是，如果用户加密了图片，并在本地保存密钥，Facebook是否保留副本就变得无关紧要，因为在没有密钥的情况下，Facebook根本无法解读这些数据。从本质上讲，加密通过使数据在没有相对应的密钥的情况下无法访问，从而让用户对其数据拥有了完全的控制权。因此，是否删除信息将由用户自行决定，而不是由服务提供商决定。正如密码朋克（Cypherpunk）运动发起人和技术作家、《加密无政府主义宣言》作者蒂莫西·梅（TimothyC.May）在《赛博经济学》一文中所说，加密是对个人来说是一种“先发制人的保护”。尽管有这些优点，加密也有其自身的问题。首先，加密这个概念往往与犯罪分子和恐怖分子联系在一起，因为很多人仍然相信“好人不需要隐私”（Nothing to hide）的谬论：如果你无事可藏，你就无事可惧，这意味着你不必使用加密等隐私保护工具。

“最重要的是，我们希望以一种温和的方式示威，向强制施行996制度的公司，形成一种长期的、无声的威慑力”
——《互联网“工人”示威996会重蹈“血汗工厂”覆辙吗？》
社区最大的分裂在于欣赏自由软件作为社会和道德问题并认为专属软件是社会问题的人（自由软件运动的支持者）和那些只讨论实际利益并只把自由软件当作有效的开发模式的人（开源运动者）之间的分裂。
——《996.ICU——自由与开源软件运动的延续以及数据作为一种新形式的劳动》
说中国法律中没有被遗忘权（删除权）是不准确的，更确切地说，中国法律中的被遗忘权更加温和，也更有限制性，而不是像欧盟国家采用的更激进、更直截了当的形式。

LikeCoin链：去中心出版基建
LikeCoin: Decentralized Publishing Infrastructur
摘要：LikeCoin链：去中心出版基建LikeCoin: Decentralized Publishing Infrastructur摘要：LikeCoin是一个分散的出版基础设施，它通过分散的注册、奖励、编辑和治理来重塑出版业。分布式出版的核心是分布式注册中心，由 ISCN 提供支持。ISCN是我们与业界合作起草的规范。受到书籍ISBN的启发，ISCN是一个独一无二的编号，分配给文章和图像等内容，并附带元数据，如作者、出版商、内容地址、许可条款和创作足迹。存储在 LikeCoin 链上，ISCN是不可变的，并且能够适应审查。另一方面，这些内容被存储在 IPFS 上，用于防篡改和对等分发。
Abstract: LikeCoin is a Decentralized Publishing Infrastructure. It reinvents the publishing industry with decentralized registry, rewards, editorial, and governance.The heart of Decentralized Publishing is decentralized registry powered by ISCN, a specification we drafted in collaboration with the industry. Inspired by ISBN for books, ISCN is a unique number assigned to content such as articles and images, and comes with metadata such as author, publisher, content address, license terms and creation footprint. Stored on LikeCoin chain, ISCN is immutable and censorship resilient. The content, on the other hand, is stored on IPFS for tamper resistance and peer-to-peer distribution.
语录与片段
绝大部分的中文作者，把 decentralize 翻译为「去中心化」。我有个虽不中亦不远矣的准则：但凡「化」字尾的翻译都是破翻译。「去中心化」生硬得让我联想起上世纪的电子词典，把字分为 de-central-ize 几部份，配上机器的读音，然后把 de = 去、central = 中心、ize = 化 逐一对应，中文之美完全欠奉。因此过往在本栏我要不干脆沿用decentralize，要不使用「无大台」，这个于去年反送中发扬光大的港式词汇，喜欢它具生命力、有历史脉络又有画面。「无大台」充分反映粤语灵活多变、由下而上发展的特质。
——《decentralize：无大台，有共识》
妖魔当道，历史被窜改，就算失望，不能绝望。《冰与火之歌》的 Night King 一直追杀 Bran Stark，因为他知道人类历史，杀掉他等于焚书坑儒。生活在科技发达的现代，虽然还没发展出无大台真相，但至少存在分布式真相；愿意求真的我们，每一个都是 Bran Stark。They can’t kill us all。
——《无大台真相：They can’t kill us all》
区块链只是以各种方式演绎世界，然而关键是，改变它。
——《区块链社会学》
身份很虚幻，资产很实在。单纯讨论身份，「我是谁」这个哲学问题，一般人会觉得高大空，除了烦恼的维特和无间殖民的港人会因此迷茫，常人很少思考自己是谁。但有多少资产，可花多少钱，却是清晰的账目，具体非常，常人很少不在意这个问题。
——《You are what you spend》
对于传统记者，笔锋就是利剑；对于科网巨头，数据就是石油；对于手无寸铁的公民，科技就是武器。你大可以不进攻，但绝不能不防守…社会体制就像技术上的通讯协议，一层倚赖下一层，处于底层最难以被撼动的，是货币。我们自以为全面否定体制，事实上我们每天都在依赖体制最基础的组成元素，甚至守护它。

帕沃尔·卢普塔克 | Pavol Luptak
加密无政府主义者，Nethemba创始人
Hacktrophy联合创始人
Pavol Luptak是一个加密无政府主义者和自愿主义者，专注于技术和社会黑客入侵。他以计算机黑客的身份开始他的职业生涯，并获得了许多著名的IT安全认证。2007年，他成立了IT安全公司Nethemba，专注于渗透测试和白帽黑客，几年后，他联合成立了一家bug赏金公司Hacktrophy。他负责了许多公共安全项目（如破解最常用的Mifare Classic卡，黑客攻击公共交通/停车票短信，黑客攻击e-Kasa）。
作为一名黑客爱好者，他是布拉迪斯拉发的Progressbar黑客空间的共同创办者，以及布拉格和布拉迪斯拉发的Parallel Polis（布拉格的黑客空间）的创办者，他负责组织国际加密无政府主义会议，专注于加密解放技术。
除了技术，Pavol还喜欢当代艺术。他成为捷克著名的当代艺术团体Ztohoven的成员，Ztohoven负责许多黑客行动主义的当代“媒体雕塑”项目，并和他的朋友一起创办了数字艺术公司Satori。
随着Parallel Polis的发展，Pavol决定实现他的愿景–完全退出系统。由于全球性和灵活性，他决定放弃自己的永久居留权，从银行账户转为加密货币，开始使用全球医疗和手机公司，成为一个全球公民。
Pavol Luptak is a cryptoanarchist and voluntaryist focused on technology and society hacking. He started his career as a computer hacker with many prestigious IT security certifications. In 2007 he founded IT security company Nethemba focused on penetration tests & ethical hacking, few years after, he co-founded a bug bounty company Hacktrophy. He is responsible for many public security projects (e.g. cracking of the most used Mifare Classic cards, hacking of public SMS transport/parking tickets, hack of e-Kasa).
As a hacker enthusiast, he co-founded Progressbar hackerspace in Bratislava and Parallel Polis in Prague and Bratislava (hackerspaces in Prague where he is responsible for organizing the international cryptoanarchist conference focused on crypto liberation technologies.
In addition to technologies, Pavol loves contemporary art as well. He became a member of the famous Czech contemporary art group Ztohoven which is responsible for many hacktivist contemporary ‘media sculpture’ projects and started with his friend the digital art company Satori.
With the development of Parallel Polis, Pavol decided to achieve his vision – completely opt-out of the system. Thanks to globality and flexibility he decided to give up his permanent residency, switched from bank accounts to crypto-currencies, started to use global health care and mobile phone companies, becoming a global citizen.

加密无政府主义的视角
The Vision of Cryptoanarchy
摘要：我们将展现加密无政府主义的意识形态，并介绍一些相关的历史。加密无政府主义的技术基础是什么？如果加密无政府主义开始变得重要，世界会变成什么样子？我们对未来发展出两种相互冲突的愿景。一种是当社会不存在，而只有一个技术系统（许多区块链爱好者似乎都喜欢）时一切将会怎样。还有一种是存在有许多不同的坚不可摧的花园时或许在那里，社会可以发展和繁荣，没有溢出和外部影响（加密无政府主义的愿景）。我们将探讨知识与身份的作用，并为一个加密无政府主义的世界给出一些开放性的问题。
Abstract: We present the ideology of crypto-anarchy with some relevant history.What is the technological basis for crypto-anarchy and how would the world look like if crypto-anarchy becomes prominent? We develop two conflicting visions of the future: One in which no society exists anymore, just a technological system (what many blockchain enthusiasts seem to favor). And one in which many different impenetrable gardens exists in parallel where societies can develop and prosper, without spill over and outside influence (the vision of crypto-anarchy). We touch on the role of knowledge vs. identity and give some open questions for a crypto-anarchistic world.

革命都有两个大问题：革命后上台的新统治阶级通常比其取代的统治阶级更糟糕。当您从道德可疑手段入手时，似乎不可能创建一个“更好”的系统（革命意味着这一点）。更重要的是，如果革命的人口不想被革命该怎么办？谁赋予您以武力改变其统治制度的权利？密码无政府状态是关于创建并行不会破坏周围的权力结构并试图与其和谐相处的选择。

匿名通信，加密货币和廉价电子产品用于解决分散式物流问题的应用令人着迷。随着分散式物流的发展，新的贸易方式，甚至用于合法商品的贸易方式，都成为可能。我认为这就是重点所在。这使州和大公司无法控制实体，这实际上是关键的行动领域。

对抗超控制的爱神密码学
Pandemos-Cryptography against Hypercontrol
摘要：随着2019冠状病毒疾病的到来，美利坚帝国不可避免的崩溃似乎已成定局。然而，任何未来的前景似乎都是封闭的。特朗普和西方的失败关系重大，不仅仅是古典意义上帝国的耻辱，这是一个文化、心理和最终生物控制的领域。即使到了最后，美国军方的无限暴力威胁对世界上的大多数人来说也不再可信。更重要的是，控制论系统，最初由德勒兹提出的理论是一个控制社会，现在已经过渡到一种新的“超级控制”形式，由于212019冠状病毒疾病的影响，所有的社会生活都被纳入了一个数字整体，甚至包括生活的一部分，从政府到最敌视数字化的大学。这个超控制的控制论系统也许同时是欧洲形而上学的顶点和最终形式，正如理性进入计算的自动化所证明的那样，一个被海德格尔部分理解但被他的门徒莱纳 · 舒尔曼历史化的轨迹。然而，过度控制是一只“纸老虎”，在欧洲和美国都是失败的，无法阻止这种流行病的蔓延。还有其他选择吗？仅仅在10多年前，就在金融化尝试采取本体论形式和个人思维的认知限制被算法的认知不透明所揭示的那一刻，一个被称为比特币的新破坏性创新出现在互联网上，作为匿名中本聪的作品。似乎一种全新的外星技术是匿名降落在地球上的，其形而上学的定位可能与控制论不同。现在比以往任何时候都更需要的是作为无产阶级化社会工具的独立技术，以及作为人类潜能延伸的技术，中本聪的比特币将是我们的指导性范例。正如无形委员会和贝尔纳·斯蒂格勒所做的那样，许多欧洲最优秀的哲学家已经认识到技术和工艺之间的区别，但是区块链技术展示了没有超级控制的工艺的潜力。在西方世界的尽头，在一个没有指导原则的世界里，密码术能成为一种前进的方式吗？通过区块链技术的历史从混合网到工作证明提供了一个证明，真正的形而上学的工作今天已经采取技术的肉体，与区块链技术假定不仅作为一个替代的金融基础设施，但作为技术继承者的政治统治硅谷。虽然无政府主义没有学术书籍，也没有很多学术哲学分析方法，但无政府主义是21世纪唯一真正的新哲学时刻，因此值得仔细关注。实际上，密码无政府主义者试图通过加密技术的束缚来捆绑数字化尝试，这种尝试可能会为面临崩溃的 Europea 世界秩序提供所需的开放视野，并提供一种去中心化的替代方案的轮廓。随着瘟疫将罗马帝国推向一个千禧年的时代，逃到修道院来躲避即将到来的崩溃的不是那些没用的、智力有缺陷的人，而是罗马培养出来的最优秀、最聪明的人。同样，密码无政府主义者正在西方建造最后的技术空间。有两个问题。首先，由于密码无政府主义者是一个少数民族运动，这些技术可以作为革命性的技术为所有人使用吗？因为大流行病是人人都会感染的。最后，随着美国处于内战的边缘，全球金融体系面临危机，欧洲形而上学揭示了自己处于一种老年偏执狂的状态，新的无政府主义者时刻对于中国这个人类文明的另一个伟大轴心意味着什么？
ABSTRACT：With the advent of COVID-19, the inevitable collapse of the American empire seems assured. Yet any future horizon seems closed. What is at stake in Trump and the failure of the West is not just the discredit of an empire in a classical sense, a domain of cultural, psychological, and ultimately biological control. Even in the final instance, the threat of infinite violence by the American military no longer seems credible to large amounts of the world. What is more important is that cybernetic systems, originally theorized by Deleuze as a society of control, has passed to a new form of “hypercontrol” where all of social life has been subsumed into a digital totality due to COVID-19, including even parts of life ranging from governments to universities that were the most hostile to digitization. This cybernetic system of hypercontrol is perhaps simultaneously both the apex and final form of European metaphysics, as documented by the automatization of reason into calculation, a trajectory comprehended partially by Heidegger but historicized by his protege Reiner Schürmann.Yet hypercontrol is a “paper tiger” that has been a failure in Europe and the United States, incapable of halting the pandemic. Are there any alternatives? Only slightly more than a decade earlier, at the very moment that financialization attempts to take an ontological form and the epistemological limits of the individual mind were revealed by the cognitive opacity of algorithms, a new disruptive technology known as Bitcoin appeared on the internet as the work of the anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It seems as if an entirely new and alien technology was anonymously dropped upon the earth, with a possibly different metaphysical orientation than cybernetics. What is needed more than ever is separate technology as a social apparatus of proletarianization from technics as extensions of human potential, and Nakamoto’s Bitcoin will be our guiding example. As done by the Invisible Committee and Bernard Stiegler, many of the best philosophers of Europe have recognized the difference between technology and technics, but it is blockchain technology that shows the potential of technics without hypercontrol. At the end of the West, could cryptography be a way forward in a world without a guiding principle? Walking through the history of blockchain technologies from mixnets to proof of work provides a demonstration that the true metaphysical work today has taken technical flesh, with blockchain technologies posited not just as an alternative financial infrastructure, but as the technical successor to the political domination of Silicon Valley. Although cryptoanarchism does not have scholarly books or much in the way of academic philosophical analysis, cryptoanarchism is the only genuinely new philosophical moment of the 21st century, and as such deserves careful attention.In practical terms, the attempt by cryptoanarchists to bind the digital attempt via the shackles of cryptography may provide the open horizon needed by a Europea world order that is facing collapse, and provide the outline of a decentralized alternative. As plagues brought the Roman empire to an millenia, it was not the useless and mentally deficient people that fled to the monasteries to escape the impending collapse, but the best and most intelligent people produced by Rome. In the same manner, cryptoanarchists are building the final technical spaces in the West. There are two questions. First, as cryptoanarchists are a minotarian movement, can these technics be used as revolutionary techniques for all people? For the pandemic adheres to all people. Lastly, with the United States on the verge of civil war, the global financial system facing crisis, and European metaphysics revealing itself to be in a state of senile paranoia, what does the new cryptoanarchist moment mean for China, the other great axis of human civilization?
