I’m straight up excited about this, i’ve been thinking FOREVER about mesh networks and when steam came along with it’s zero fees and three second transaction time I was like, yes, that and mesh and offline (as such) that has to be a local level empowerment thing, a perfect ‘person in the street’ level approach to rolling that stuff out globally.
Imagine being able to pay your neighbour at the bottom end of the street to come and fix up your electrics OR even just sharing VALUE on a local level in your community, what you do, what you have learned, what your able to apply your skills and talent at — paying people that value across a mesh network, solar powered, offgrid in the moment, sync’d later — I’m telling you, something there for me.
I’d love to roll this out in @bansko (just saying!)
anyway, give it all a read! :)

to add to this. ..
p.s -- weirdly, then i saw this on youtube. .. (i kinda love narrow boats and we have plenty of waterways here in the uk) and it got me thinking of MOVING MESH networks -- like imagine being in a group of four or five boats that bought the network WITH them, spreading steam along into different regions and being able to do time sensitive work in those areas while the network was around. ...
. . .. the video was called 'Thinking of Buying A Narrowboat To Continuously Cruise? My HUGE list of PROs And CONS' so it made me think about that notion of 'continuous' -- maybe you could have them installed in taxi ranks therefore bringing value between or connecting maybe the city and the airport as you would have a steady stream of transporting going back and forth -- dunno something to think about.. ..
