I think you should go with one of the big hats instead.
It's the only way....
Well that's a cool take!
If we cannot access decentralized networks like Bitcoin or nostr in our local due to governments or other issues, then there is no point of either.
If you haven't perused the awesome self hosted git repo, do yourself a favor, do it.
Fantastic self hosted ideas and solutions for cloud backup, notes, email, media, and so much more.
Constantly updated.
Interesting. I would say that's out of my league completely. But if someone wants to fork my code and do it, go for it!
I am not understanding what a hardware wallet/signer has to do with my application?
Thanks to all of nostr and nostr:npub1tvqc82mv8cezhax5r34n4muc2c4pgjz8kaye2smj032nngg52clq0rkrq4,
HAMSTR is trending on the nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg 24hr trending feed! The repo is starting to see some action and downloads, need fellow hams to give it a shot!
Also anyone who reads python and /or knows svelte, take a look at the repo, ask questions and please give suggestions for optimizing, security, whatever whether a ham or not!

I want to integrate cashu and mints with offline payments into HAMSTR in the future.... That way I'll have the ability to easily send an offline Bitcoin tx, zaps using nwc, and cashu e cash payments. The trifecta off off-grid use cases.
You used to have to, yes. It has been more than a decade I think since it was removed.
It runs best on 300 baud HF bands. It is a client and server setup currently you will need to be running both sides. Future releases I hope to integrate some sort of authorization or just open connections to keep a server running.
If you have 1 tnc, you could easily run software tnc on one side and hardware on the other. As long as they are operating on the same protocol, like AFSK 300 baud, or whatever.
There is no reference on the code to frequencies, and there is no radio controls currently at all. The ptt is all done from the tnc. It must be a KISS TNC, and HAMSTR uses ax25 encoding on kiss packets to help with redundancy
So you are free to setup your server and client on whatever frequency you want to try it.
I have tried it on 1200 baud vhf just inside my house, it worked fine.
I am not planning Lora integrations directly, however in the works is adding reticulum network support, which would allow for using Lora.
GOOD MORNING NOSTR.
LIVE FREE. 🫡

Working on it.

If all hell breaks loose is Nostr our final frequency?
nostr:nprofile1qqsw8tha4zrj22njem340rfnktwdjr5lu5achmtrglh4ufhhggg6mwcenxmm9 may have just achieved that frequency with Nostr over HAM Radio.
The term ham radio originated in the 19th century as a derogatory term for operators who were poor at sending Morse code and the name was adopted as a badge of honor. What’s more pleb than that?
Shout-out to the LF for launching HAMstr Alpha!
Thank you, sir!
Lots of work to do, but as of now it can 100% handle all the basic kind 1 nostr functions.
Working on some fixes and small improvements, then zaps!
Being able to sign and use NWC for zapping while off-grid is massive. Lots of challenges, we shall see!

Wait until he is 15..... You'll likely never see him again. 😂
25 is a stretch on anything but HF bands.
With a technician class, in the US, you are mostly limited to vhf and unfortunately bands. Those primarily work on line of sight. 5-10 miles, no problem on a 5 watt handheld radio. A larger base or mobile station of say 50 watts would be needed for more. 20 miles is very realistic on higher altitude and/or line of sight. 25 and up is possible but much more challenging and working with antennas, placements, etc ..

It honestly isn't hard. Can get expensive....
An online course, some YouTube tutorials on getting your technician class ham license, and some study hours. I aced my tech test, and didn't study that much. There is literally a question bank with all possible questions and answers. Can memorize them all of you are able
No, unfortunately not. These days, it's mostly correlated, but doesn't have to be.
Deficit spending can easily happen via bond sales to citizens, such as war bonds.
In fact look at 2021-2023. The m2 and fed balance sheet was shrinking as the deficit was ballooning. How?
Easy. Pensions, banks, people, companies, countries, all bought US debt at the higher rates, and NOT via the fed printing money.
