Repeating Mongo in Australia

Hey Jude

The person who named the cypherpunks is the one nobody can name.


Judith Milhon called herself St. Jude. She was a self-taught programmer in Berkeley, and in the early 1990s she coined the word cypherpunk, stitching together cyberpunk and cipher. It was in print within months. Every person who has ever used the word is quoting her.

Twenty years before that, in 1973, she helped build Community Memory. A public terminal in a Berkeley record store that anyone could walk up to and post on. No account, no permission, no gatekeeper deciding whose message counted.

She died in 2003, five years before the white paper.

She never saw a block get mined but she lived life on her own terms and would have made a killer Bitcoiner.
