Whelp…it got taken down on Medium after a few hours 😂

OK, a buddy of mine has just thrown down the #Meshtastic gauntlet, possibly without realizing it.

The challenge: transmit messages between central Illinois and northern Virginia, without any non-LoRa backhauls.

His take is that Meshtastic is merely a proof-of-concept and something that can not be relied upon. He also said he doesn't see any real world use case. Maybe he's right, but either way, I want to blow his mind by getting a message to him. Even if we both need to be outside, I still think that'd change his mind about whether it can be useful.

I might be able to get some tower space here in Illinois, but we're going to need some high points in places like Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, Ohio and/or Virginia.

Who is down to help me do this or provide evidence to prove that it is not possible?

This has me all fired up now. I plan on joining the Meshtastic Discourse group to collaborate with people there and read up on what crazy rage tests people have done in my region of North America. Maybe the infrastructure is already partially in place? (I know it's not fully in place because I have done range testing where no mesh nodes received my transmission.)

I member the times when the 2017 fork happened.

I doubled my BTC stash because I redeemed the new BCH shitcoins and dump them on Ver for more BTC. Early days of the fork when was almost 1:1 rate.

I am waiting for Saylor to launch his fork and dump on him his worthless shitcoins....

Even though many of us here have transitioned our time to a paradigm change that unites 8 billion people on this planet, many of our friends and people we love…have not yet.

Their world view (and maybe partly ours too) is then still infected by a system that preys on them. Extracts from them. Keeps them stuck. If that is true, then it is hard to stay above the noise when the people we love, people they love, and so on, are “experiencing” a pain that is very real.

All around us, unbelievable tragedy and chaos with people taking sides, while believing that they’re or their side is justified in the stealing from, harming, or killing of other people for “their” cause. Our politics, our media, our institutions are all similarity captured by it - leading to further division and righteousness, while people become numb to it all - mostly unaware of how it is hurting them deeply. How could it not?

This is the lens of the world that the majority is looking through, reinforcing, and making stronger through everything they see and do.

Just as real to them….as the truth, hope, and abundance that #Bitcoin imposes on the world is for us.

Yes, we “try” to stay above it because we know that the system problem cannot be solved from within it, and our time is more valuable in bending reality to the new system.

But

it is worth a reminder as we go this chaotic transition that so few understand:

When someone we love hurts, we hurt too.

And there is still much hurt.

Much love to you all!

I know this might sound wild: but what if you’re exactly where you need to be?

Loved sitting down with Walker to talk about our new Bitcoin episode and the future of Tuttle Twins!
