Currently bootstrapping on the QO100 geostationary bird. It's my solo dev lab in the sky.

The dream is to eventually see our own dedicated Nostr relay satellites up there. The technical vision is there, but as a solo, self-funded builder, the capital required puts that firmly out of reach for now.

The pragmatic path is clear: if this proof-of-concept gains traction, phase two would be renting dedicated bandwidth on a commercial bird. That move would necessitate a complete hardware overhaul.

Right now, I'm deploying the second unit. This one is configured as a pure off-grid user terminal—no internet. It's a client only to its local Nostr relay and the BITSATrelay. The relay is powered by my other build, the Solarbit, which runs a BTC miner and node.

The next goal is to start stress-testing the off-grid experience and untangling the data routing puzzles from the ground up.

Solo-building this for the past two years has been a wild ride, but the signal is starting to clear.
