Is ANYONE working on hardware in #bitcoin?
Where is the #hardware community at?
We win only through low cost secure hardware. It's critical.

They went over to Monero because bitcoin is a Palenteer/deep state/banking/ ponzi scheme now.
OK, I wasn't going to say anything until we were further along, but...
A mate and I are planning on doing custom #meshtastic boards as cheaply as possible. Our plan is to use the RFM95W (915MHz only) and RP2040.
We haven't made a full BOM yet, but we're targeting 10K sats or less (assuming we do a bulk buy and things work out as well as we hope).
These would basically be relay-only nodes. Or they could be combined with an open source IoT device (connected over UART, I2C, or SPI).
Things like a door sensor that will send out an alert each time a door is opened or closed. With some custom firmware, you could even have it integrated with the only extra hardware being a switch.
The SeeedStudio ESP32S3 with Meshtastic is only 0.04634 #Monero. It may be possible to get cheaper than that, but it's probably not going to be particularly easy.

That does pack a lot of lunch for that pricetag. Thanks for sharing, I hadn't seen that model before.
It's an exclusive club. You pay to play.
Hardware. Very #hardware.
