I'd happily talk in detail about donors when you first make public the values and donor list for the bigger ones, which you don't for some shady reason and only reveal a few. Even from those few, your biggest public donor are the people well known to dodge real privacy in crypto faster than vampires dodging holy water. Please disclose how much money you pay to the blog/media to shill this project so frequently.

You won't do any of this. You know that, I know that, you know that I know that and still you will continue to profit on those who will never read these comments.

It was after that US/Russia sponsored this communist takeover of our country that the new puppet governments have thrown the natives into extreme misery until someone from the EU decided to reduce the levels of corruption and misery. We simply swapped one master for another and hasn't been good for our land.

So please don't compare our country to whatever "solutions" brought by the same entities who caused our problems in the first place. We needed almost 50 years to remove socialism from this country and reduce the venezuelan/cuban style poverty forced upon us.

He received plenty of USD in cash delivered in hands by the US government through the three-letter-agencies. These kind of things always happened, it is unfair and incorrect to blame crypto currencies whereas the overwhelming majority of "special operations" continue to be paid today in plain paper money.

Wouldn't risk sending large transactions where everything is visible to others when compared to LTC or any other non-private virtual coins.

The reason why cryptocurrencies exist is precisely to detach money from governments, reason why Monero is persecuted by every single western government whereas that coin you mention is endorsed by them. There is quite a world that needs and uses Monero every day.

Courts deemed as unlawful this government persecution to whoever donated to the protest using transparent cryptocurrency: https://usethebitcoin.com/news/canadian-court-rules-against-...

The point is that only those who used monero were safe from unlawful government persecution.

A good example was the truck manifestation in Canada a few years ago, they went after all the donors for what was a legitimate protest. Anyone using bank transfers or any crypto that wasn't Monero was persecuted.

Those who used Monero had their privacy assured and zero issues.

Thank you for the update.

Network doesn't usually care much about the apps running on top of it.

In the end: LoRa is only good for very short text messages at somewhat long distance (up to 10km without special setup) and without bad conditions (obstacles on line of sight, rain/fog). There is an ongoing fight between each of the two frequencies to be used as default and this publication adds another frequency into the battle.

There is WiFi HaLow, a relatively new WiFi protocol which seems to solve the low bandwidth issues with LoRa on relatively confortable distance (likely up to 8km, same as with LoRa in regards to Line of Sight), albeit slightly less affected by weather conditions. The advantage here is permitting to send images and binary data in general, but think about something being sent at the speed levels from 2005 (which in any case is good speed for most usable things).

Then there are other relevant mesh protocols yet to mention here like ESPnow which is my personal favorite. Whereas the other two options above are exotic and with transceivers around the 50 EUR and above. With ESPnow you just need any cheap ESP32 embedded device with an optional antenna to increase range for about 3 EUR (antenna included). With that you get similar returns to WiFi HaLow with less range (about 3 kilometers max on my experiments) but cheap like heck.

To setup internet on a vast compound, WiFi HaLow might be a good investment. If you are with a constrained budget, then ESP32 is your friend. To remember, long distance is limited so if you are considering more than 8 devices exchanging heavy data, you should just go for proper WiFi long range transmitters.

In the end, won't be used.

It was a fantastic leak, based from an excel file asked by a marketing department which forgot it inside a shared folder on the hacked (private) server. There was far more info there than just that, also included the details of employees and more interesting if they were on medical leave.

Curiously enough many of those employees were family members from politicians and well-known people. Some of those in long term sick leave were receiving a monthly salary while conducting live shows on festivals during the summer.

Nothing happened on the news. They all went silent about this case.

Was reading the comments, was able to learn more. So I assume it provides a command line interface.

Question: Can it run binaries compiled for the platform/OS?

This has been a limitation since forever on ESP microcontrollers because they basically have the power of computers and yet the flashing limitation of calculators. Would be good to finally be able to launch arbitrary binaries without flashing. (I know there are tricks right now, just looking for a proper OS-approach).

A truly poor name choice.

There isn't much escape other than using messengers which encrypt the data locally. Geogram radio is doing this.

I don't follow in detail the news on other European nations but haven't seen much focus on hardening their security until they actually get breached. A recent example (albeit different attack vector) would be the Polish grid: https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/01/wiper-malware-targe...
