I took amtrak from Chicago to DC recently and my phone was constantly trying to tell me I was being followed/tracked cause someone else in the sleeper car had an airtag.

Thankfully most everything lily-go throws on their boards is pretty generic and generally adafruit has an equivalent feather wing or some such, and you can use their documentation to figure out how to get your lily-go stuff working with a bit of time spent cross referencing schematics and code.

All that gear is EOL now and can be picked up for cheap on ebay. Setup some xserves to just send data back and forth between Xserve raid arrays for maximum blinken lightsen

I can get xfinity, CenturyLink, and USI fibre at my house in Minneapolis. It's great, the competition is such that I pay $50 a month for symmetrical gig fibre.

Worked on a project a while back for pricing different qualities of milk and the amount of federal programs, guidelines, and laws regulating dairy markets is extremely substantial.

Then it sure sounds like what they have is a proof of private keys algo, and not a proof of coverage algo. In which case why bother with a blockchain at all if there's a singular central entity that is the arbiter of all trust?

The helium company charges miner manufacturing partners $40 a unit in order to generate the required private keys for their miners to be able to join the network.

As soon as I found out I couldn't stand up my own DIY helium miner and start providing coverage and making money I became entirely disinterested.

They don't need to do a traditional ICO to grift.

In order to join the network and start mining, you've got to buy $80 worth of gear from some company marked up to $600. That company then has to pay $40 to the Helium company in order for them to generate private keys that let your miner join the network and start making money.

Helium is just https://network.fon.com/ on a different frequency + a bunch of unneeded crypto bullshit that hides the grift.

Call me when I can stand up my helium miner based on open source hardware and software and make money using that.

What if I've also lost my sense of touch? I think it should also have to disperse a sulfur agent into the air, just to be safe.
