Jacob,

This list is indirectly related to bitcoin and crypto stuff. Those are
tools for implementing some of the goals of unSYSTEM. The description of
the mailing list is "Revolutionaries on standby" (
https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/unsystem). We are a
community, first and foremost, committed to making changes with
revolutionary impact.

That being said, what this mailing list needs is more effort to organize
and make things happen instead of fluff opinion posts. We need more doers
instead of fluffers. We need more members to give their time, effort and
support to the goals of unSYSTEM. I forget the open source developer who
said "There is no substitute for source code.", but it is excellent advice
and extends to documentation, logos, planning, etc.

I say we _need_ more doers, but I also think we shouldn't restrict anyone
from posting. It takes little effort to scan and delete a post from an
Inbox. If someone is repeatedly annoying, filter them. If enough mailing
list members create such filters, the poster will get the hint. Or, better
yet, the poster will _become_ a doer. If the poster is a good writer and
thinker, I recommend posting a blog link here with a short description.
Everyone would benefit from that. The mailing list admin can resolve the
worst cases of mailing list abuse, though I hope that won't be necessary.

I'll hang out in irc.freenode.net:#darkwallet as huangpo99 and will also
follow the projects in github to determine how I can best use my skills to
contribute.
