    Dear Nym community,

    today is a nice day and I take the opportunity to take a walk
    to my local Internet cafe, to test the Nym Mixnet for setting
    up an email and social media account. I carry no smartphone
    and USB stick with me, only a pen and some paper, to take
    notes.

    atomicmail.io and Bluesky social media, like Mastodon do
    not require a telefone number for sign-up's and are therefore
    ideally suited to use.

    I am still in my Internet cafe and downloaded LibreWolf
    browser and set the proxy port to 127.0.0.1:1080 to use it
    with the downloaded nscw from https://github.com/Ch1ffr3punk/nscw

    I also downloaded from releases the nym-socks5-client.exe
    and the nym-network-requester.txt file

    I started then nscw and added wunderbaer's nym-network-requester
    address in the settings and marked uses anonymous replies (SURBs).

    Once LibreWolf and nscw was configured and started I donwloaded op https://github.com/Ch1ffr3punk/op to generate a name / surname
    and an atomicemail.io email address.

    Registering at atomicmail.io and Bluesky via the Nym Mixnet went smooth.

    Here you can see my dirst social media post:

    I will now use the Nym Mixnet email/Usenet client Castor
    to send this message to the Usenet Newsgroup alt.privacy
    via the Mail 2 Usenet gateway's email address mail2news@dizum.com

    You can find Castor at https://github.com/Ch1ffr3punk/Castor

    Cheers
    Ray
