Talking of paper Bitcoin, I've also been thinking about real paper Bitcoin in the form of ecash mint tokens that could be printed and used offline in third world countries as money.

I really like this idea, but is there anyway to verify the validity of a token without being online, to prevent fake tokens entering circulation?

No. I think the solution is having a plethora of mints + mesh networks like #Reticulum

Banks runs keep the mints honest. This is an interesting use here. Similar to LN probing

Funnily enough I'm trying out my Heltec V3 in Ventnor this week, I saw nodes around the coast like Chichester.

I saw nothing when I powered them on in Oxfordshire.

Nice! Reticulum nodes?

Meshtastic, thinking of trying Meshcore next.

I was in LoRa professionally until 2016, I didn't think it was going anywhere so I switched to Bitcoin, no it turns out Bitcoiners are becoming LoRa's 😂

Oh very cool! Check out #Reticulum, it's very similar, but has more scalability and features. It's specifically designed for voice + data over LoRa. All E2EE.

Yes, I'm familiar with it.
