Let's keep building a free and open internet for everyone.
Does your Cashu mint (fully) support P2PK, e.g. with SIGALL? A simple tool to run some checks against mints.
A few links below:
- youtube demo video
- a link to the tool
- github. It's just a static page, hosted on Github Pages, easy for anyone to clone [and edit] and host. It uses some CDK functionality, so you'll see the repo is a CDK repo with this extra stuff in /web/nut-10-checker

Mostly permissions. Apps require user permission to connect to a new network for the first time. Traffic from a mobile access point could be difficult to tunnel through a VPN. Background Mode can be unreliable because the operating system prioritizes the battery over apps.
Ideally such features would be developed at the OS level. However, we also didn't have the bandwidth to go far down the mobile rabbit hole, because there are plenty of low hanging fruits in OpenWRT.
We are looking for mobile developers who know what's the right way forward. nostr:nprofile1qqs9g69ua6m5ec6ukstnmnyewj7a4j0gjjn5hu75f7w23d64gczunmgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43z7tpaud2 nostr:nprofile1qqs8y6s7ycwvv36xwn5zsh3e2xemkyumaxnh85dv7jwus6xmscdpcygpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejz76jympz
Yes, please! Let's make a TollGate compatible client for mobile devices. We are aware of some of the challenges, but we want to help to make this happen.
TollGates already have a relay. nostr:nprofile1qqs02wuajx5v69mlkjsu7zq6rdk4sav68q00zg98cksccrnset5qnqcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuutnw3ezuctswqhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wpujumr0dshszxthwden5te0wpex2mtfw4kjuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtc0flcnq used the relay for his demo last cohort
You can find us at this year's nostrhackday if you want to learn more about it. Perhaps Deutsche Telekom could benefit from adopting the protocol in future..
Awesome that you're trying it out!
There's a config file under /etc/tollgate/config.json where you can set the payout addresses.
If you need any help, we have a Signal group for TollGate deployments.

Not sure, apparently there was an on-chain Implementation from Antonopoulos once though ..
Not yet, because mobile devices have restrictive permissions. Maybe nostr:nprofile1qqs9g69ua6m5ec6ukstnmnyewj7a4j0gjjn5hu75f7w23d64gczunmgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43q4gnztg can help us to navigate the constraints on mobile devices though..
GM, see you in Riga...?
Hashpool could also be useful for on-boarding people to TollGate without teaching them about money. Give them a router + bitaxe. They plug it in and they pay their electricity bill. Thanks to hashpool their routers already have all the e-cash that they need..
TollGate is further decentralizing.
This npub is now managed by c03rad0r, c03rad0r and c03rad0r.
📢📢 We have a new release of our tollgate implementation
Still plenty of work to be done, but please do try it out if your a brave and #reckless soul who wants to bridge the past and the future.
Your issues, your pull requests and your code review are most welcome!
For installing tollgate package on routers:
https://github.com/OpenTollGate/tollgate-module-basic-go/releases/tag/v0.0.3
OpenWRT image containing TollGate in-case you want to start from a clean slate. Any e-cash that's still stored on your router's filesystem gets deleted when installing the image:

Different actors have different needs. In some places the TollGate operator needs to be stealthy (plausible deniability) even if that results in worse discover ability for users.
The difference types of TollGates are standardized as so called "recipes".

Waiting tickets are nostr identities and npubs that are still waiting get free access to internet.

nostr:nprofile1qqsdmup6e2z6mcpeue6z6kl08he49hcen5xnrc3tnpvw0mdgtjemh0suxa0kj helped by brainstorming around the challenges that TollGate faced before we knew how to target OpenWRT devices with existing nostr and e-cash libraries. One of his contributions, was the idea of using small time locked proofs to make the purchases more frequent and granular.
