Just a Dream
I would like to see the meshnet and cryptocurrency come together.
An internet that is decentralized free open encrypted untraceable with its own cryptocurrency setup with the mining done by the node operators.
Packet miners.
We could call it packet change lol..
As cryptocurrency is free of so much of the crap associated with the banking system.
The meshnet is free of the various countries off switches and censorship, fees and control.
Its a match made in heaven, the node operators get paid for packets the world gets free decentralized internet and a cryptocurrency that is as unstoppable as the mesh.
This is no small dream I know but a minnow still has to have them lol
If this sparks your imagination please restreem and 👍
I would love to see some thoughts from the crypto community on this ..
Brilliant!
DAOWISP
Distributed Agorist Organization of Wireless ISPs.
I and one other guy cover 1000 square km with wireless broadband right now, type of network called a WISP (Wireless ISP), and we make pretty good money doing it. Enabling my network and others like it to self-fund and self-spread using crypto is a side-project of mine that I'd love to pour time into if I had it!
I will be looking that up..
And I know what u mean about time to do things .. But always glad to help..
I think it could work nicely ..just getting the idea out is the first step .. Its good so it should take root..
Just got a slack going for this, as I want to push it towards an ICO funded reality, https://daowisp.slack.com invite-only, send me your email via [email protected] and I'll add you!
Thank you sounnds like a fun project
And I alrrady havr a slack acc. And app setup been chatting with the new york mesh.
Oh cool! Would be great to cooperate on efforts, that latest speech by Theresa May the UK leader, about 'we've got to take the Nets away' got the IT community a bit steamed. We've got to get this thing decentralized at the physical level asap.
We're coming at this from the ISP side and building a funding mechanism in, since the gear just costs so damn much to move big bandwidth.
I have pictured a mix of tec to get this going, in the end it will be using the same tec as the isp's are now ..hell we do this right we can buy theres as they go out of business lol
hyporboria is also looking at somthing also but nothing being worked on..
So I thought with the new york mesh and one other I cant remember the name at the moment but it adds up to around 30 thouswnd nodes in operation at the moment ..so the mining community is in place already.. Oh sorry about thpooos on my phone so this is a little rough lol
Just tweak the flash code for the router nodes and mine away .. A few thoughts ...lol
Yeah, they were working on a big mesh using CJDNS if I remember. I really like CJDNS, good stuff. Another mesh project, a big one, in southern Spain I think?
Our project is aiming at doing long-range shots between towns, regions, etc and helping projects like that hook together. Could think of it as sort of a 'decentralized backbone network'. I like the mesh projects, but found it takes lots of fairly expensive gear to build a solid, high speed independent network. And it wears out, so you've got to be pulling cash in somewhere to make it all work long-term. And paying the guys who need to get out of bed at 2AM and fix 'all the things' when they literally get hit by lightning (sigh....)
The big telcos hate us little operators, but we're faster and cheaper, and we're nicer guys to our customers cause we're their friends and neighbors :) so we're winning. And now some of us are starting to think about all working together to take on the big Corps.
Yeah, a mining project on customer routers would be slick - you know, a Raspberry Pi would make a pretty great customer router...
Ya I was looking at the long range boat equipment... And add oud own custom router ..you would have a powerful node .. Build in the mining code into the router and sell it as a package and use your system to tie it all together
If you could get prrmission to up the power a bit like we can with our ham gear you can cover a lot of ground
Have u seen these guys

The new york mesh has a few members thinking about it also and a few who are ok with the corperate internet becoming free. And the gov will be woried about somthing like this so if its cheap enough ...
How goes the summer ,,, working way to much on the boat right now ... Almost ready for some test runs.. You gaining any ground on the wireless world or are boats bbqs and beaches denting your summer as well ...lol
the dream will come true
I think this one just might one day 😎
This is a great idea and I think it has a lot of potential. Sharing your wifi would be mining a cryptocurrency, so people would be incentivized to do so.
You know you are onto something when both Google and Facebook are planning to do the same thing, they just want it centralized so they can push their services, but doing something like that with the blockchain and crypto could really be a game changer.
That's brilliant!
Thanks for bringing this topic up.
This is extremely important!
will be following things as they progress .. things are speeding up in the crypto world i think
