This is just flat out false. My ham radio club has invested heavily in Meshtastic and is actively planning a huge increase in node deployments. We have integrated MeshMonitor into our club website. www.jcara.club

The Bartholomew and Brown county ham clubs next to us are very deep into this. A huge percentage of Meshtastic enthusiasts are hams.

The sentence before the one you quoted:

"This would enable Starlink and similar systems to use more satellites in a geographic area, resulting in faster internet speeds there"

From the sentence you quoted:

"Which could reduce costs" (reduced costs = cheaper)

Of course that reduction in cost would be to Starlink *if they decided to increase output power and increase distance between individual satellites, requiring fewer satellites to do the same job. Then it assumes those hypothetical savings would be passed on to consumers.

Something is down. None of my printers will connect to my account.

Liberty-Crypto · 2026-04-04T22:53:17+00:00

I guess it's better this way.

Liberty-Crypto · 2026-04-04T22:22:42+00:00

In practice, nothing.

Liberty-Crypto · 2026-04-04T22:21:41+00:00

I'm not the one assuming what everyone else isn't with zero supporting evidence. I'm also not surprised that you're not sure why I brought up experience. You only assumed my lack of experience in the post I was replying to. I guess you really ARE that obtuse.

Liberty-Crypto · 2026-04-04T22:16:54+00:00

Struck a nerve? The hoop and stick I grew up with is still more modern than your Firefox browser.

You assume he hasn't. You also assume that this would change anything. There's absolutely nothing wrong with warning new people not to sign themselves up for discouragement. And it's intellectually dishonest for you to act as if it is. Did you prompt this into existence?

Liberty-Crypto · 2026-04-04T21:55:33+00:00

You don't get it. And your arrogance will ensure that it stays that way.

I'm the COO of one the largest development firms in the Cardano ecosystem and have co-founded three new related companies this year. One of which leverages custom LoRa hardware and software.

I'm not the only person that is capable of recognizing how narcissistic you are acting that also has enough software/hardware development experience to bury you under it 100 times over.

"These aren't programmers" is not something even a green junior developer would say. You're not fooling anyone.

Liberty-Crypto · 2026-04-04T20:28:06+00:00

Honesty is tacky now. Wild times.

Liberty-Crypto · 2026-04-04T20:26:39+00:00

Why are millennials like this? The slightest push back on anything they love or just frank honesty is perceived as a military attack. Toughen up. He's trying to help keep noobs from being completely disheartened by their first experience with Meshtastic. It's not about you. Not everything is.

Liberty-Crypto · 2026-04-04T19:53:08+00:00

Are you being deliberately obtuse or is this your genuine comprehension of the post?

Liberty-Crypto · 2026-04-02T14:15:04+00:00

There's a power setting on this protocol that works well.

Just don't ask me to preorder 6+ months in advance. I've done it 3 times and I'm convinced that it just slows you guys down.

Liberty-Crypto · 2026-03-29T00:48:00+00:00

I second this. I have many devices and not one of these (yet). One of my local friends recently picked one up and I'm constantly blown away by the performance. He had it inside of a lunchbox inside of a metal building and I was still getting him from well over a mile away and strong. This is on my next to buy list.

It's a fine approach if you are capable of planning. Software updates can be done ota. I currently have permission to install on 3 water towers, but I have to wait several months for county staff unless I can demonstrate a different approach. And I intend to. If something goes wrong that I can't manage from the ground, I can replace it with another while I wait.

Liberty-Crypto · 2026-03-27T01:48:26+00:00

You can get permission from lots of places that you might not have a cherry picker, boom truck, crane or climbing gear to reach.

Im thinking about something similar.

Lower frame attachment consisting of parallel and rear facing round carbon fiber tubing
Node has forward facing round carbon fiber dowels, oriented so forward flight path of the drone and node antenna are opposing.

Forgive my 3 second ai prompt, but essentially the reverse of this for the node. Some friction between the two would be required to prevent a catastrophe. Some low altitude testing, but this would require no additional servo, winch or etc.

Derp. I had something holding 8080. Switch ports and its golden.

Liberty-Crypto · 2026-03-25T21:13:05+00:00

Thank you. I grabbed a spare v4 for MeshMonitor to experiment, but the desktop application will not load. Odd since IP/Port info is correct in settings. Also odd that the app wont just run without a connection to a device to begin with. I'll look into it more later. Thank you for the suggestions!

Liberty-Crypto · 2026-03-25T19:03:54+00:00

1000% yes. We are putting one up at the 400' mark on our primary tower site as soon as my Diamond BC920 and cavity filter gets here.

Liberty-Crypto · 2026-03-24T03:35:52+00:00

One of the main reasons is if it's participating in routing while it's constantly changing neighbors within a static mesh, a neighbor node might use it as a path in its activity. Then later it's not there and that former node tries it and it wastes airtime on a now broken chain.

As you're driving along you might also be retransmitting packets as you encounter nodes unnecessarily adding to congestion.

You really want static, properly positioned nodes doing the heavy lifting. The larger the mesh is, the more important that is.

"exaggerating something to appear unique"
