🚀 TollGate pay-as-you-go internet access on open networks. Powered by Cashu.
The TollGate WiFi-router runs a Nostr relay + clients for handling payments. The TollGate app pays for internet-access with eCash over nostr!

The flow:
- User taps connect (connect button will be automated)
- Tollgate App suggests tollgates to connect to (Android notification)
- User taps connect
- User taps sign-in
- The app handles payment and prevents captive portal from opening
Unfortunately some Android OS level restrictions requires quite some taps to connect 😕.

It's a project that turns any hackable router into a money-earning machine.
Those routers will also be able to buy access from eachother (permissionless) and that way build out sovereign networks. There's no real difference between my phone buying access or another router doing it.
