Awesome episode, even the ads are cool. I have recently set my rewards to 200sats/min because why have this space technology to send cents. But I was kind of not feeling so happy when I was listening to some podcasts and they had ads and I'm thinking "why am I paying to listen to ads?". But good job in choosing ad partners that are actually cool and open source.
About Meshtastic - it is definitely cool, but you guys are going to love Reticulum. It runs on the same devices, but also IP / I2P, wifi halow (the new wifi standard that's up to one km range). It is a networking stack though, it can do ssh, messaging over the radio through the city, I even ported ecash cashu over it so you can send sats. It is done mostly by this one cool guy Mark who lives in an RV and puts all his soul and time to this. And it is actually meshing, if there's a route, it finds it. Neighbors can do wifi, you go further over lora. Very cool. And it's encrypted by default.
