Introducing Nutband – a post fiat apocalypse Cashu client working over Reticulum
A demo of Reticulum, Cashu and my project Nutband that combines them, in order to use a Cashu mint over Reticulum mesh network – in this case over long range radio, and without internet.
Finally made the demo video

👏👏👏👏 bravo 👏👏👏👏
I wonder what it would look like to run the last ecash mint for a crumbling megacity after the zombie apocalypse
TRADING BETWEEN THE CITADELS!!!!
"I am rich. I have 6 sats"
😂
But not really, because that's only 3kg of PLA filament. That's the drawback of fiat apocalypse - even though you're relatively rich, the whole society is poor.
Bitcoin fixes this only long term. So love your nocoiners too. They're in the pit deeper, but we'll not be too far away.
Well done 👏🏽
Very cool.
Ooh, can radio nodes or something be run for it?
Sure can! It's better to organize locally. You need good visibility.
Note there are no tokens or reward scheme like in Helium, it's purely voluntary network.
What's needed to do it?
I have a radio antenna on my roof and I live at 4k feet over Sea Level
You need a phone, a LoRa module (Lilygo 2.1 for frequency in your country) and some time and patience.
But most importantly - you need peers around you to communicate with. So I would actually start by going to a Bitcoin meetup or some local hackerspace, check what people are interested in, check who you see from your roof and build the network with them.
Also - your radio antenna probably won’t do, you need a specific antenna for a specific frequency.
It is not plug-and-play and will have little usability if you are doing it alone.
