By the way, the LoRa hat in the picture is UART, which is not supported by meshtastic (you need SPI, which is faster, but this version has issues with heat). See the meshtastic website for tested pi hats that can send long messages without issues.
Plebbio was the initiative that some of us tried to brainstorm about how to make Plebbit available even without internet. The idea was to use radio waves, and how it was theoretically possible.
Well, the last few weeks I was bored and started looking more deeply into this before sleep every night.
I had a few knowledge gaps and I wanted to know what would be required.
Radio is very strict, as a civilian there are just a few things you can actually make, so the first thing was, what kind of radio can I use without a license? There are a few options, but the range is usually quite low. There was one option, tho, that started to make sense, it's Long Range (LoRa).
LoRa is basically a radio technology that can stretch for tens of km, uses basically no battery, requires minimum hardware, but has a huge drawback: data. It can only send small packages, so the only way to get it working would be with simple signals, like text-only messages... Which is exactly what plebbit is.
So LoRa could be the missing piece for plebbio, but does it work? Turns out, there are many regulations regarding LoRa gateways, which can make your device be banned if you send too much data or receives too much data. There is a limit per hour on how much you can send.
What are the alternatives? Well, if you build your own LoRa gateway, you can do some more stuff, but there are still many regulations. P2P LoRa, however, is not regulated, since it's P2P, but it would be impossible to build a network of people to work P2P... Or wouldn't it?!
Turns out, someone already did this, it's a mesh network built on LoRa called Meshtastic. It's almost everywhere in the US as I saw their map, so it could actually work. Other countries don't have a network as well built as the US, but the setup is pretty simple, cheap, and requires no kind of license since it's all P2P. So building a meshtastic transport and adding a LoRa hat to a phone is enough to get plebbit without internet.
I'll look more into this in the next few months, since I'm finishing some stuff, but I think it might be the missing piece in the plebbio puzzle.
Hey there. PH here, it's been a while but I'm always around. Like you, I held from launch and I'm still holding to this day. I see your frustration, but the app actually came a long way from what it was on launch. Mass adoption of anything that is p2p is unlikely, but there will always be people willing to be free from censorship. Just see people that use meshtastic and their network, for example. It is niche, but it has its public. Plebbit is kind the same. If you need the money and you want to sell, I understand. If you don't need the money, I don't see why leave the project at this point, since you held from the very beginning. Also, even if you sell, check the app again from time to time. If it comes a time you think this is useful, let us know. Also, this kind of technology is not sought during times of peace and stability. Once things start to go in a bad direction and fast, that's when you'll see this shining.
I don't think they hate them. I think they don't give a shit.
This is actually one of the things woman do socially to men I think is actually a good thing.
This guy is coming into a live chat where people are probably just goofing around trying to have a good time and he is probably doing this awkward game that in many ways is somewhat anti-social. Woman clown people that do this. It is very similar if you go to a bar in the sticks and try to start acting like a metro sexual. To them it is just weird and they don't care. They are on some other shit.
I saw a post about this awhile back talking about how it is based on freuds methodologies which encourages you to repeatedly talk about your trauma which makes you look back repeatedly over and over again rather than getting you to look forward and face new challenges that encourages a healthy mindset. I guess this during the birth of the field. Worth researching I guess if you are into this topic.
Plebbit doesn't give a fuck about dropping 90% from ATH, since it can recover that in a matter of days.
Decentralization is the future. Sometimes we forget. Sometimes we fall prey to fear, but our faith in decentralization, will always be rewarded.

Well if you are not a gaymer holding a mouse for 12 hours straight, a classic mouse isn't a problem.
It's correlated to a cycle, but not the solar cycle.
Indeed, it follows the Juglar cycles.
Irak and Afghanistan was just after the 2001 overproduction crisis. 2020 plandemic was just at the begining of the 2020 overproduction crisis. Iran seem to match our current Juglar cycle end.
About the 2008 overproduction crisis, they didn't launch a war immediately after, but they tried and failed the H1N1 plandemic.

It's a good sign, it means you're on the list
the use of crypto powered domains improves durability against censorship. normal domains can be purged on a whim.

what exactly you think I'm lying about? We have always said marketing will come after MVP. Would you prefer if we marketed an app that doesn't work?
weirdo!!!!
I just remebered how in 2022 a few shots were fired at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and all mainstream media had a massive spergout about the radiation and how the russians and Putin were a threat to the whole world and stuff...
Then here comes the US of A and bombs the shit out of 3 iranian nuclear plants, that allegedly have WMD's, with their most powerful bombs, and nobody cried about the formerly feared second coming of Chernobyl.
It just makes you think. I'd like to find the scriptwriters and break their legs or something.
Have they even had one single launch that didnt end in destruction maybe Elon should get in one to prove how good they work
