Meshtastic for talking to your family/friends with no power.
Cryptocurrency for buying food from local producer in Cali, when the ATMs have looters.
And Nostr to get the message out either about your property being damaged (or your health being harmed) that the mainstream media smears
One power cut and your cryptos and nostr is dead on arrival.
Ever heard of Cassacious Coins? You can trade those when there is no power. Just make something similar for Monero and you'd have no concerns.
Never heard of it. How does it work
They were physical bitcoins worth 100 Bitcoin, 50 Bitcoin, 25 Bitcoin, 10 Bitcoin, 5 Bitcoin, 1 Bitcoin, etc. A couple of years ago. But the state did not like them, so they made them stop.
They had the private keys under like scratch-off holograms, so you could tell if it had been tampered with, in which case it would not be acceptable. But as long as that private key was intact, you knew for a fact that it had the amount of Bitcoin on it that it said it did.
Since they were physical and had the private keys associated with the physical coin object themselves, it was totally off-chain and therefore needed no electricity to trade.
How much it costs to setup a Msshtastic?
Pretty cheap. But with tariffs what was once cheap is probably more expensive.
Cost depends on what you want to build
