Yes, this should work in case of an apocalypse.
A concept for an entirely offline communications *and payment* network.
Meshtastic peer to peer mesh networking using lora radio devices
A cashu mint which allows for ecash to be sent peer to peer over the mesh
A client application in the style of Primal, but for Meshtastic nodes and ecash tokens
Internet and power go down and the mesh network still works, and the ecash can still be sent via the mesh.
Would this work? nostr:npub142t785ujh97zzvnss8xm8jm8fhage8rxxjfaksmenfq8j4266xcs7ds6ue nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg nostr:npub1dqepr0g4t3ahvnjtnxazvws4rkqjpxl854n29wcew8wph0fmw90qlsmmgt

Thanks for the reply! I am still trying to learn about ecash. Have I understood correctly that the tokens can be passed peer to peer entirely without querying any central service?
Yes, but for double spending protection, they need to hit the mint once upon receiving them.
In case I do start this "This should work in case of an apocalypse" - calle, is a very good testimonial 😂
