OK, so mobile ad-hoc wireless networks (MANETs) are a very real thing. They've been the subject of significant research effort, and are regularly deployed in military operations. Stationary mesh networks are even more prevalent. All recent wifi equipment is mesh-mode capable: 802.11s was standardized ten years ago. Bluetooth can do mesh mode too, although it's not often seen in consumer equipment. Its industrial sibling, ZigBee, is widely deployed in manufacturing and warehouse operations. But there are some significant fundamental challenges with mesh networking, and some good technical and economic reasons why the world runs on cell towers and fiber. Of course, nowadays you can have your very-own "microcell" station, maybe even with cheap software-defined radio. If the cops all have Stingrays now, why not you? Because laws, that's why... so if you were going to BBB some durable baseline comms infrastructure without coming afoul of the FCC and the telco cartels, you might instead choose LoRa... but you'd have to shed an awful lot of bloat. Those pipes are thin.
But can you trust your handheld device? Where's it made? How long will it last? Can you repair it? Customize it? These are important questions, and getting to "yes" is a long hard road. See https://betrusted.io -- coming soon!
Interesting link. I will look closer later when I'm back at my desk.
Yes, we need something like local techies serving their local areas, helping people get onto open source phones that are modular and can be checked for security flaws.
Your point is well taken. We have to stop participating in *their* systems. Imagine if everyone closed their bank account and switched to a local credit union. It would neuter TPTB overnight.
I am again asking for an address where the bounty project may be sent to. Preliminary results may be seen at https://ibb.co/album/BHsNCK, caveats apply. Apologies for spam.
Good one, as usual... did you check out Solari.com, Catherine Austin Fitts website, tons of info there.... my saying for the day is:
indiana jones time travels meets hans solo and goes back to the future to save shirley’s temple of doom...how this relates to the Center for Disinformation & Control (CDC) is anybody's guess... maybe Pfizer... or Moderna or better yet Steve Kirsch knows..
This question is not directed at just you (you are busy enough) but your readership whom im sure are also a wealth of information:
What is a few good resources to get started on understanding the basics of Bitcoin,crypto more generally and blockchaim technologies overall?
I want to start dipping my toe into this realm, but I have no idea where to start without getting in over my head. I am rather intrigued by this idea of user to user connected networking of communication rather than the reliance on centralized authorities granting access to a network to send information along. Let's get the middle men bureaucrats out of this.
The Daily Bitcoiner on substack writes some good bite sized chunks of info. Marty’s Bent is a good email subscription as well. He’s a bit over my head at times and I think it’s good for me. Makes me think 🤔

Your ‘stack regularly makes me laugh out loud (Wikipedia?). God bless you and your work
Have you been to El Salvador? I haven’t post-Bitcoin but would love to see how it’s changed.
Haven't been, but would love to.

I haven't read them yet myself, but he has a series - https://roundingtheearth.substack.com/?sort=search&search=bitcoin
