Contact & Contribute
We practice privacy-respecting communication. No contact forms harvesting your data - just direct, encrypted channels.
Secure Contact Methods
SimpleX Chat (Preferred)
SimpleX has no user IDs - the most private messenger available.
1-on-1 Contact:
[SIMPLEX_CONTACT_LINK_HERE]
New to SimpleX? Get it here - it’s what we’d teach you anyway.
Matrix (Coming Soon)
We’re setting up a Matrix space for community discussion.
Room: #cypherpunkschool:matrix.org (coming soon)
Email (GPG Encrypted)
For those who prefer email - but please encrypt.
Email: [EMAIL_HERE]
GPG Fingerprint:
[GPG_FINGERPRINT_HERE]
Public Key: Download GPG Key (coming soon)
Unencrypted email is a postcard. If it’s worth writing, it’s worth encrypting.
Verify Our Identity
Before trusting any contact method, verify us cryptographically:
- Our DID:
did:web:cypherpunkschool.com - DID Document: /.well-known/did.json
This proves we control this domain and these keys.

Response Times
This is a side project, not a support desk. Expect:
- SimpleX: Usually within a few days
- Email: May take longer (check your spam for GPG-encrypted replies)
- Urgent security issues: Mention “security” and we’ll prioritize
What We Won’t Help With
- Illegal activities (we teach defense, not offense)
- “Can you hack X for me?” (no)
- Homework/certification cheating (learn it yourself)
- Debugging your unrelated project (we’re not free consultants)
