Can we do lightning or cashu based multi-hop physical packet routing where couriers are only paid on confirmed delivery?
Same could work for network routing, but multiple paths can be tried simultaneously, and fastest wins.

Data packets can't be stolen, but physical packages can, so reputation or collateral is needed there
Awhile back I had envisioned something like this, but instead of reputation or collateral, the package could have some type of anti-theft device like the ones they use for higher priced items at physical stores. With gps and cellular connection to notify some authority when the package has been tampered with or taken somewhere other than the intended destination. Not foolproof but perhaps could be useful if combined with reputation and/or collateral.
I also envisioned a network of Amazon style lockers for delivery to the next hop.
I would love to see this type of network built.
