No license required. Everything is a bit hobbyist oriented so things can be a bit clunky, but it just works.
For certain power levels, a license is needed, but that's not necessary for general usage.

2024-09-06 14:26:59

This is a pretty good point. Bitcoin is built to be accountable, which is at odds with privacy goals. Lightning is a good addition of complexity, but without guarantees.
I feel like Bitcoin is appropriately built for use by governments and institutions, which allows the people to sousveil activity. This is an extremely important feature as Bitcoin grows in adoption.
For more privacy-oriented money, scalability and trading liquidity are essential along with mathematical privacy guarantees.

Line of sight is a nice to have, not a necessity. The best mitigation is having a higher density of nodes to relay messages.
They're so inexpensive, it's quite feasible and there may be a decent network around you already!

2024-08-27 18:39:16

Unpopular opinion:
It makes no sense to delete Twitter in order to grow Nostr. Growing Nostr makes Nostr grow, not the shrinking of another platform.
NOSTR exclusive content is helpful for growth as is the sharing of NOSTR exclusive content outside of NOSTR.
Deleting Twitter is just virtue signaling, not something that is helpful for growing the Nostr network.

# Get Started with Meshtastic
1. Purchase compatible materials to construct your Meshtastic device from a retailer (Rokland, Amazon)
Device + battery + case + antenna
meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/
store.rokland.com/
2. Assemble your device, ensuring that the antenna is connected before powering on the device.
(May require micro screwdrivers (or soldering, depending on hardware purchased))
3. Flash your device with the latest stable firmware using the Flasher in a compatible browser (like Chrome)
flasher.meshtastic.org/
4. Install Meshtastic app on iPhone or Android.
apps.apple.com/in/app/meshtastic/id1586432531
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.geeksville.mesh
5. Pair your Meshtastic app with your device via Bluetooth, or follow app instructions.
6. From the app: Set Region to US (if applicable), Select a device name, modify other settings as desired (power save off, for example) or per recommendations.
7. Send a test message to LongFast channel (public chat) and await confirmation/responses.
8. Have fun and learn lots!

Both were an issue.
Custodial structure made you reliant on their infrastructure and their node was unable to pay due to either their infrastructure, liquidity, visibility, or some other restriction they created on their infrastructure.

Using Alby Hub won't guarantee that you have payment reliability since that is related to your channels you maintain on your Alby Hub node.
We're working on some tools to support this at Amboss, so stay tuned.

Antenna and elevation.
Higher powers require HAM licensure, but LoRa really means long range... Record distance is 832 km apparently but expected is 10 miles for line of sight or 3 miles in urban settings.

It's once again an incredible time for the #lightningnetwork to flourish as Bitcoin transaction fees have fallen and the costs of new payment channel infrastructure and experimentation has returned to comfortable lows.

I have been warned that MQTTT can be very spammy, so use this feature with caution as the network protocol is susceptible to spam.
If we apply similar engineering logic to #mesh as we do to #nostr and #lightning, we may be able to mitigate some spam issues, like we do for nostr #relays.

There's a feature called MQTT which broadcasts node locations to the internet, making them optionally discoverable.

What's the non-profit? Tell me more about this write-off concept! This would be an amazing aspect to add to lightning.
Lightning is extremely altruistic at this early stage, so once you run a node, fill out your Amboss page and share the link so they can learn more and immediately connect to your node.
Sounds like a great opportunity for those of us looking for interesting causes to support with liquidity!
