Legend, that's also a fantastic idea. Is it set up to broadcast a wifi signal so people nearby can connect, or does it depend on a router?
I have a mobile relay built with small Pi equivalent for protesters in mind. Do a lot of work through nostr:npub16fcy8ynknssdv7s487nh4p2h4vr3aun64lpfea45d7h4sts9jheqevshgh maintain relay access for users behind GFW. Lot of ways to obfuscate it being a relay.

Yes. Can use it as relay relay where connect 4G or 5G hotspot and make part of a mesh network to also use with MeshTastic communicators. Wanted to make able to build temporary mesh network with multiple. Made with OpenWRT but can use most anything.
😳 I didn't understand most of that but now I know who to talk to when I build my own
For context and reference:
Looks amazing, is it like helium except functional? As I recall helium's economics totally didn't work. I assume this is just a hobbyist network, with no coin attached. What's the bandwidth? Is there routing involved or is it sort of spray and pray replication?
Is very low power for MeshTastic. Can use small low bandwidth LoRa devices. Would work in tandem with nostr relay and lightweight captive portal nostr client. Can use disposable nostr npubs for plausible deniability. With the protestor scenerio had thought connect all nodes via syncthing for video and image dispersal. But this could be improved.
