- ThatPlayer 5y agoI've seen this and it looks interesting. A true offline mesh large-scale network would probably not be feasible, so some kind of authority would be required. And crypto does seem to work for that to keep it decentralized, but I'm not sure I like their implementation. I've got a few LoRa radio kits and Raspberry Pis, but am not allowed to setup my own node. Rather I have to purchase one from them.
