Like Bitcoin is vulnerable to high level denial or service attacks by simply blocking the traffic so this new superior network is vulnerable, vulnerable enough to use as a honeypot, if it runs on phone hardware because Apple and Google will send firmware updates that prevent the functionality. Rooted phones are as safe as other router hardware that does not auto update.
From a regulatory standpoint the spectrum allocations may be redrafted (because the children/terrorists/climate/Ukraine/pandemic) to criminalise use of the spectrum for this purpose. Hopefully not but very possible and likely is a few places.
Use of Freespace optical links as much as possible is a great idea. Option to use non phone hardware should be promoted.
I agree all legal and physical means will be used to stop it, which is precisely why I love it - because it's resistant to all that.
If enough people are using it then there's just no shutting it down.
Unfortunately right now they're polishing the app system, the ability to trade with other coins and other stuff, which to me is all irrelevant fluff. It already has a chat system, a name market and basic websites. The #1 thing we need is the mesh network.
GM. Great comments here. Have been worried about you. Perhaps this will inspire you to shake your own tree loose...lol. And EGM is, I believe, correct -- Most of the really competitive markets, even with very few players (groceries, telco) do not have insane profit margins. The desire to "get more" usually wins over the "let's make a deal and we'll both have a lot".
Try playing any war game -- They all start out with alliances being made because it is pretty easy to show that the alliance profits both teams better than if they fight each other. Inevitably, at some point, one team undercuts the other and that is that. Those are usually just duopolies, and the same things happen in goods duopolies/triopolies as well unless the government steps in and screws it up. (Of course it does not happen in monopolies -- that is a different case.)
In any case, good to see your cogent thinking somewhere.
Yes, it relies on the main internet right now, via a 'gateway' to the Internet (which is your normal internet connection).
Once it's big enough then no Internet connection is required, just a WiFi router, or an aerial on your roof etc

That's incredibly cool- and literally liberating.
It is, and I've just been chatting with one of the main developers and they've agreed to make this mesh aspect more of a priority :)
A soon as there is any kind of 'profit' from use of the system then the system will grow.
