Hello CryptoParty people,

after a failure [1] at hosting provider 1984.is, this mailing list had
been offline since November 15.

We didn't have a full recent backup of the VPS.
This system has been reinstalled from scratch, and the configuration
has been partially restored using an old backup from 2014.

The global list has been configured to use an old subscriber list from
an unknown date, probably from about a year ago.

As a result, the current subscriber list is missing all recent
subscribers. Please let your friends know, if you know of someone who
might want to subscribe again.

If you had already unsubscribed from this list, apologies, please
unsubscribe again. Please contact postmaster if you have any problems.

(If you would like to make other changes to your list subscription, you
must use the password reset feature of the mailing list web interface,
because the password has been reset to a new random password. If you
had made any personal changes to your subscription preferences, like a
preference to receive a daily digest, these preferences are lost, and
you'll have to reconfigure.)

All mails sent to this list after November 15 have been lost. You may
try to submit your message again.

Regarding the archive of old messages to the list, all messages between
March 2014 and until today are likely lost. We might potentially get
recovered files from the hosting provider, but this is uncertain.
Should we get them, an attempt will be made to add them to the archive.

The other mailing lists operated on this server haven't been looked at
yet. They might still work, based on the restored configuration from
2014. Work will be done within the next few days.

Please report any issues with this list, privately to postmaster (off-
list).

Thanks for your help, sorry for the inconvenience.
Postmaster
