To cryptoz (can't reply, probably too deep?):
I was going to argue that it would be terrible difficult to build up that smartphone network. But then I saw that you do PressureNet (awesome tool btw!) and, oh well... looks like you've definitely got the network part done already.
OTOH, why not just ping @elonmusk on twitter?
- cryptoz 12y agoWell thanks! But actually, building the network is indeed a big challenge. We've spent the better part of our 3 years just thinking and implementing methods to do it. We've arrived at an SDK model [1] where we work with app partners to integrate simple sensor code and contribute to our network. So we're able to grow quite quickly compared to a single app to download, but it's still not easy getting the necessary scale. We're aiming for about 10 million sensors, currently have 0.5 million. So we're getting there. I've sent @elonmusk a few messages over the years but no replies so far. I am @vallesmarineris, so I think one day he'll notice that I already live on Mars and we'll chat.

- sandstrom 12y agopreassurenet is cool! It always reminds me about this interchange: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8292091 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8292091 Probably easier to google up someone on the launch team and ask them.
