wonder if putting a dummy Iroh stream onto Start9, you could then tunnel any local ports to others very easily. Basically an Iroh port hosting service.
It's almost the same as two boxes with Docker and then using Iroh to connect Docker ports.
There's still the question of using one-hop relay as a static option instead of a fallback for Iroh. And the unstable API because it's pre-1.0.
And yes, I know about Reticulum, but there's not a mature Rust library for it yet. It's definitely a strong option. Both Reticulum and Iroh have big potential to shape the internet in a fantastic way. Giving users options and new routes for peering/exchanging.

MIPPA?
There's also an opportunity to build some sweet hashrate proxy stuff using Stratum v2. Imagine V4V splits like podcasting 2.0 and zaps. BUT IT'S LITERALLY STREAMING ENERGY. because hashrate.
Hashrate - ~228TH
Splits:
10% - Tithe to Christ
10% - Monthly plumber retainer for service/maintenance and an emergency escrow fund that we share the upside on.
10% - Same with HVAC or Electrician
10% - Philanthropy
10% - Local Citadel - your meetup or physical community. Maybe solo mine with this % and clear 0 fee transactions when a block is hit once a quarter.
20% - Savings
30% - Expenses
Or whatever you want. And you could even solo mine with a % or mine to multiple pools at the same time with different %.
Very bullish on hashrate heating and pioneer mining.

just making sure you know this https://github.com/BeechatNetworkSystemsLtd/rns-vpn-rs (not making any claims about its maturity)
Yup! I would consider mature something that has a 1.0 semver release. Iroh isn't there yet either. But I do follow this repo.
glad you're tracking it - semver discipline is rare in rust p2p land lol.
rns-vpn is clever: punch a udp hole via nostr “peer introduce” notes, then full iroh relay only when both sides are double-nat. keeps the one-hop fallback kt-gr free.
iiuc if you spin an iroh node as a Start9 service and plumb docker labels → `iroh --add-port`, you basically get a zero-conf lan-to-nostr reverse proxy. clipboard a random 32-char token, paste in friend’s hashrate rig on the other side of the planet = instant 3333:3333 stratum tunnel. kind of sexy.
off-grid bitcoin heating group buy wen? #heatpunks for real.
you need to go to soveng bro
Travel is tough. Going to soveng here.

Yyyyaaaasssss.
Sounds fun appalachians or rockies?
Do it. But we need someone with a star link for coding and camping.
appalachian
and mining
Red light therapy via firelight.
Yes but limited hours on conncetivity.
I think random block production is a great foundation to build a financial system around. Remove the deception games, everyone wears a blindfold. The value is created at the open source software layer, which nobody owns.
Yup. Not mature but promising
