Very cool episode, thank you! I'm playing with Reticulum which has a bit more mature architecture, you guys are would love it. It runs on the same devices, but also IP / I2P, wifi halow (the new wifi standard that's up to one km range). It is a networking stack though, it can do ssh, messaging over the radio through the city, I even ported ecash cashu over it so you can send sats. It is done mostly by this one cool guy Mark who lives in an RV and puts all his soul and time to this. And it is actually meshing, if there's a route, it finds it. Neighbors can do wifi, you go further over lora. Very cool. And it's encrypted by default. The messaging apps can work over wifi, so if you have a node at your home (or an RV), when your phone connects to the wifi, it automatically connects to the mesh. If you send a message, the node forwards it through lora or whatever https://fountain.fm/episode/Thk97UqdpIL6BJLNPmFo View quoted note →

A super cool thing would be able to run an RNode and rnsd Reticulum in a way that it would also listen to Meshtastic messages and route them at the same time. With one rnode you could participate in both networks. Is it feasible? Especially the hardware/format part, we could just demultiplex the Meshtastic messages and pass them to Meshtastic app, so we don't have to implement any special Meshtastic messages logic.

Awesome episode, even the ads are cool. I have recently set my rewards to 200sats/min because why have this space technology to send cents. But I was kind of not feeling so happy when I was listening to some podcasts and they had ads and I'm thinking "why am I paying to listen to ads?". But good job in choosing ad partners that are actually cool and open source. About Meshtastic - it is definitely cool, but you guys are going to love Reticulum. It runs on the same devices, but also IP / I2P, wifi halow (the new wifi standard that's up to one km range). It is a networking stack though, it can do ssh, messaging over the radio through the city, I even ported ecash cashu over it so you can send sats.

Small update on Podcaster 2.0 Boost Dashboard (for core lightning). - looks cooler, fits on the screen - the episode list is narrower, so you can see your boost messages (see updated screenshot) - episodes are sorted by when they received first boost, which is an approximation of how recent the episodes are (a newer episode will probably receive its first boost later). Does this project have any users here (besides me) are all y'all folks running lnd or alby? Find it here: image

Tomorrow I have a fireside chat with @slush at @ChainCampCZ. I have made my notes in a beautiful presentation format that I will see on my phone. And you will never know how it looks. Slides for myself! 🍄 Have you ever done something like that? :)

This year's HCPP (the last one in a sense) was pretty special for me. As probably the only conference fully dedicated to cryptoanarchy it was always my favorite. This year it was mostly about personal connections for me. I feel that over past few years, people have been running around the world and trying things and they came to tell us about their experience and results. In the hallways, but also talks. First few years were visions, last few were experiences and lessons learnt. But it also gave me something more. I used to get this at CCC. This knowledge of what is important, what is going on and what we are doing. I became disconnected with the main CCC ideology, which is also very political, not very cypherpunk. It turned from "we write code and hack" more "we have to speak up and lobby the european commission". I've just realized that I got the same feeling from hcpp that I used to get from CCC. I love CCC for other things.

Welcome @npub135xv...taeg to Nostr. She is a shared identity that can be used by people who want to share cool Cypherpunk projects anonymously. Usually, this is quite a big problem, because if you want to share open source code and want to stay anonymous, you can't use your existing social network. The password to posting is going to be shared widely among devs. If you are a free software and cypherpunk author (even if not anon), ask for password and spread it wisely. We want the anonymity set to grow, plus it's not defined, it's just the knowledge of a password. So it can't be really pinpointed who knows it. On the other hand, there is a password, otherwise the account would be just taken over by spammers, reducing usefulness. Lizz is accessible through Nostr (give her a follow) and you can also access her website for people who are not Nostr enabled yet. Through the web you can also easily post, the Nostr private key is derived from the password in JavaScript.

I am not very impressed by the expensive stuff. When a wine seller tells me they have a bottle of wine they are selling for $10k, all it tells me is that someone has written a price tag. I might sell my toenail for $10k, but that would not impress anyone, even if it's not possible to get it cheaper. Luxury spending does not even work these days. You can rent things, you can borrow money to spend on something you can't afford, just to impressive. What is impressive are great things for good price. Outstanding quality delivered despite limited resources. It's much harder to evaluate though. When someone shows me expensive watches, I'm gonna ask if they can at least sign nostr events on it. Or if it just shows time like my phone.

Playing with Voyage. I like it a lot so far. Although I miss the memes, the minimalistic vibe is amazing. Thinking how to integrate it with some Lora based mesh (like Reticulum) to have a local city district relay to completely bypass internet. It would need much more compression though. It should be integrated first at relay level probably and then local mesh node would do a relay interface.
