I am so sad that my node came the day after my plane flight probably untill the summer. Would've been nice chatting with a few hundred people from all arround the world while having nothing else to do

Just remember, if you are in a vehicle or on a flight, make sure to set your node into client mute mode. That way you're not connecting people who otherwise would not have a possible connection. Otherwise, as soon as your node is out of position to be a relay, they will not be able to talk with each other anymore.
That's really good info. Just one question. Does that also count if I use it as a portable node which stays in my backpack? Like someone could have only one possible rout and that is through me when I am at work. When I get home I am no longer available which means that he isn't able to use the network. Am I getting this right?
And see i am going to disagree with nostr:nprofile1qqsxp22288h0qkjgljcty9840mxeeq0l6u9a0042yarn9tn6ulw0p6spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43q3ug2c2 and say that you should not use client mode unless you have a fixed node at 20+ feet above ground level. The reason i say that is because a short node really doesnt help the mesh and just causes mor ChUtil by rebroadcasting packets that higher nodes are quite likely to have already heard.
My logic is
* <20ft AGL or vehiclr -- client_mute
* 20-100ft AGL -- client
* 100+ft AGL -- router
I think the only exception to this might be if you're going for a hike and are communicating with other nodes, then perhaps using client at less than 20 feet. AGL would be acceptable.
