excellent point on meshnets

in fact, I am interested in moving this up in my own priorties. let me know if you are interested in a steemit community promoting the creation and linking of meshnets

Sort:  

I'm interested. I live in a village however, and meshing is gonna be unlikely here.

you'd have to organize a pathway to the nearest population hub

i think I recall hearing of a proposal for solar powered routers chainlinked

Back in the '90s the Cult of the Dead Cow (a favorite hacking collective at the time) proposed using those mini-satellite dishes that were throwaways when folks changed TV providers, and microwave transmitters/receivers. They did a lot of tests to see how far they could transmit, and IIRC were good as long as they had line of sight.

Mountains between me and Portland will prevent my unilateral creation of an independent wireless backbone to the internet, I think.
