This seems like a missed opportunity for a standalone device?

I recently got a couple of SenseCAP Indicators and similarly, they’re almost standalone but lacking battery and gps.

Can someone combine these please!! 🙏

I think I meant more that it was implemented and actually had throughput, as opposed to being theoretical, though of course not a complete closed economy.

Thanks! That’s super exciting. Will try and send out some DMs next time it happens - just to get the more reliable ack. I doubt many people are awake at the times it is probably strongest signal though.

Fairly unlikely it was a plane due to the time frame in which the nodes were refreshing - was over at least 4 hours from when the first distant node was seen, to no longer seen / refreshing. And all the nodes were apparently from this one distant area, which is about 4-5 hours drive away, because it’s on the other side of a big bay. And didn’t see any other familiar nodes that were closer, of which there are quite a few.

While it’s not the mainstream, it’s not everyone that constantly wants more. There are many religious orders that practise asceticism, voluntary simplicity, and other behaviours which are not growth focused. Minimalism as a movement in western society is genuine. People do sometimes reach a point where they stop being seduced by consumerism, realising it doesn’t bring the happiness it falsely promises.

Absolutely love this idea. Am concerned anywhere with enough Meshtastic nodes for this to be busy enough to be useful would congest the mesh too much though, as I’ve been reading Meshtastic falls over completely once you have too many nodes communicating …? 🤔
