@happybeing Great initiative, but this seems kinda bulky setup..?

I was really hyped for #LochaMesh project, which developed small custom radio devices to maintain #meshnet with range up to 1,5km I believe.

They had chat app being developed, also demonstrated syncing #bitcoin and #monero nodes, sending transactions...

Sadly, that project is probably dead for good :( .

Locha Mesh - The resilient network

@calculsoberic
Do you have a website/eepsites for this we can share with a hardware-oriented persons?

Have you heard of #LochaMesh, they are SouthAmerican-based we understand, they went on #KeiserReport to attract interest a couple years ago now.

We strongly, strongly recommend your progress on the software be matched by openHardware progress. This includes for your own safety.

“To clarify (because the article doesn’t very well), @Locha_io the company that was producing Turpial devices is halting. @LochaMesh the open-source project is still alive. #cypherpunks #hamradio unite! Let’s keep this project going. https://t.co/NiDRkUfCjU”

@drbitcoinmd well, they actually can ban Bitcoin right now from being used, even at the ISPs level. The AWS ban was just a sneak peek of what comes to everyone who they see as their enemy. Only a censorship-resistant nonKYC'd physical layer like the #LochaMesh will enable a truly permissionless #Bitcoin

the #LochaMesh Turpial dev-kits are ready to be manufactured and shipped!

#LochaMesh es un proyecto genial y muy importante. Un proyecyo de red en malla que nos quiere traer pagos (con Bitcoin y Monero), comunicación y transferencia de archivos sin necesidad de internet.

El acceso a internet es algo de lo que no nos podemos fiar para siempre. Puede caer en cualquier momento, puede ser bloqueado facilmente y es completamente centralizado.

Las redes en malla son una gran solución a este problema y, al igual que las criptomonedas, da a los usuarios todo el control.

Is it true that #Tor and #i2p are blocked in some cities where the #protests are?

If so that drives home the need for #meshnet (eg. #LochaMesh). Apparently there are people on the street using encrypted #walkieTalkies and #transponderLocators?

We've said it before but will repeat - the #US has devolved into an aggressive, #thirdWorld country.
