A pseudonymousremailer or nym server , as opposed to an anonymous remailer , is an Internet software program designed to allow people to write pseudonym ous messages on Usenet newsgroups and send pseudonymous email . Unlike purely anonymous remailers, it assigns its users a user name, and it keeps a database of instructions on how to return messages to the real user. These instructions usually involve the anonymous remailer network itself, thus protecting the true identity of the user. Primordial pseudonymous remailers once recorded enough information to trace the identity of the real user, making it possible for someone to obtain the identity of the real user through legal or illegal means. This form of pseudonymousremailer is no longer common.

Examples of cipherspaces include Freenet , I2P , Tor anonymity network Tor , and some Anonymous remailer anonymous mail forwarding services . According to its advocates, it should be impossible to know the actual identity of anyone in cipherspace. Therefore, it would be impossible to impose any censorship and to enforce any law. Because of that, they assert that concepts like copyright would be unenforceable inside cipherspace.

An assassination market or market for assassinations is a prediction market where any party can place a bet using anonymous electronic money , and pseudonymous remailer s on the date of death of a given individual, and collect a payoff if they guess the date accurately. This would incentivise assassination of individuals because the assassin, knowing when the action would take place, could profit by making an accurate bet on the time of the subject s death. Because the payoff is for knowing the date rather than performing the action of the assassin , it is substantially more difficult to assign criminal liability for the assassination. ref name Harkin 2009 Cite book title Lost in Cyburbia first James last Harkin year 2009 page 239 publisher isbn ref Early uses of the terms assassination market and market for assassinations can be found in both positive and negative lights in 1994 s The Cyphernomicon ref name Cyphernomicon cite web title The Cyphernomicon Cypherpunks FAQ and More, Version 0.666 last May first Timothy C. date September 10, 1994 url http www.cypherpunks.to faq cyphernomicron cyphernomicon.html pages Sections 4 & 16 work Cypherpunks.to accessdate February 28, 2011 ref by Timothy C.

BLP sources date July 2011 Johan Julf Helsingius , born in 1961 in Helsinki , Finland , started and ran the Penet remailer Anon.penet.fi internet remailer . Anon.penet.fi was one of the most popular Internet remailers, handling 10,000 Electronic mail messages a day. The Server computing server was the first of its kind to use a password protected PO box system for sending and receiving e mails. In the eighties he was the system administrator for the central Finnish Usenet news node as well as one of the founding members of the Finnish UNIX User Group. In February 1995, the Church of Scientology called in Interpol and Finnish prosecutors in order to find out user an144108 s real identity, an online critic of Scientology . Pressured by possible police measures which would have meant disclosing not one but all of the registered names in the database, Julf revealed the identity of the person Scientology was looking for. Fact date February 2009 One year later, on August 30 1996 , he announced his remailer would shut down. The American Electronic Frontier Foundation EFF , an Internet civil rights initiative, reported continuously on the incidents concerning anon.penet.fi. The EFF collected donations to cover legal costs should Helsingius be involved in a court case to settle whether Finnish law could force him to reveal the identity of anon.penet.fi users. The closing down of anon.penet.fi led to an outbreak of outrage and solidarity with Helsingius throughout the Internet in order to protect freedom on the Internet. ref Citation last QUITTNER first Joshua date September 16, 1996 title REQUIEM FOR A GO BETWEEN newspaper Time.com url http www.time.com time magazine article 0,9171,985140,00.html ref Helsingius went on to help found EUnet in Finland and was part of the team of people that established the first Internet link to a Soviet country.
