I remember a talk of Antonopolous some years ago about this idea https://youtu.be/gF_ZQ_eijPs?si=LdJeOv5tcj7cDOnv

I haven’t seen many recent videos of Andreas. Does he still do live events?

No idea, it was my daily orange pill back in the day along with James D'Angelo videos

He kind of retired from bitcoin evangelism. Now he's a professor at a university in Greece iirc.

I'm happy for him. 🧡

I wanted to build this at my last fiat job. The tech wasn't ready yet. 5 years later and now it's time. Let's fucking go. 🔥

This is cooler than I first realized.

yeah it's mind blowing. this is the free internet. it's happening

it's fucking happening

Looked at the website and not clear if this is set up for lightning and ecash, or just ecash?

Do you mean from an end user perspective? I don't know. Good Q!

mixed feelings

have seen too much crap on the liability side here in Germany, though

"In some countries/regions you might take liability for the traffic that runs through your TollGate, be sure to check your local rules and regulations. Additionally, check your ISP's Terms & Conditions for any rules around reselling internet access. It is your own responsibility to handle local rules and regulations, we cannot assist you with that."

may check the legal implications the other day

indeed it's (liability) twofold:

- for traffic running through (civil - even third parties, criminal - state) and

- reselling (ISP).

but, who knows ...

History is not kind to societies that technologically handicap themselves.
