Intro to Meshtastic / LoRa License Free Off-Grid Comms:

LoRa (Long Range) radio networks represent a compelling option for wireless communication, particularly for those in the Bitcoin and Nostr communities who are exploring decentralized and resilient network solutions. This technology stands out because it operates on frequencies that don't require government licensing, making it accessible and cost-effective.

For the Bitcoin community, LoRa networks offer an alternative way to transmit transactions and block information, which is crucial for maintaining decentralization. This can be particularly beneficial in scenarios where traditional internet access is unavailable, censored, or compromised.

In the context of the Nostr protocol, which is focused on creating a decentralized social network, LoRa networks provide a means of communication that is less reliant on centralized internet service providers. This aligns with Nostr's goals of censorship resistance and decentralization.

The use of LoRa is not just about avoiding government licensing. It's also about creating a more resilient and distributed network infrastructure that aligns with the ethos of decentralization inherent in both Bitcoin and Nostr. As these technologies and communities continue to evolve, LoRa radio networks could play a significant role in supporting their growth and ensuring their resilience.

We're gonna need moar Peony Lane 🍷

I knew this day would probably come, but didn't expect it so soon.

I am being investigated for running an illegal money transmission business in Canada (nodeless)

Under the advice of my lawyers I need to shut down the main instance of it.

As you guys know I made Nodeless completely open source in the event that this happens, so that others who don't live under communism can run a honest, privacy focused payments business.

To my clients who are using it, I'm very sorry for the short notice but you'll need to find a new payment processing solution this weekend.

DM me on telegram and I will personally walk you through setting up a btcpayserver instance that you can self host, or even your own instance of nodeless.

I can't give much more information than this, not even supposed to say this much, but I owe it to you guys to let you know what's going on.

To install nodeless on your own server, you can get started here:

I guess I'm not a bitcoiner when I say and mean that I'm not grateful for Wallet of Satoshi.

I thank all the developers who have been working on self-custodial solutions from the very beginning. This is the way.
