55 sats \ 3 replies \ @supratic OP 1h \ parent \ on: ⚡ MeshLightning - payments over Bluetooth mesh when internet fails lightning
Someone is playing with it, not sure specificly about LoRa, however is not teh first time I hear about sending bitcoin transactions with LoRa, here another one and an interestinng video. Juray ran a Cashu client over Reticulum
Not sure what are the limitations on doing the same for lightning transactions.
Mmm yes a local fedi or cashu mint that could swap tokens over bluetooth + LoRa that you could then cash out from when connection with broader internet is achieved is probably the most realistic.
I can see how one transaction could be broadcasted later to settle a payment you sent or received, but i don't see how you could do further commerce (ie, spend the lightning payment you received to someone else before coming back online), and maybe that is simply a limitation of this project.

Would be interesting to know if a cashu mint is operating exclusively in a close local mesh network, where's the need for it to connect to the internet? For example, let's say a mint start with 1M sats budget, go offline (from the internet), but still accessible in the mesh network from the ecash wallets. Ecash tokens can be generated and redeemed with no issue. The wallets only need to communicate with the cashu mint, not with the lightning node attached to it. Not sure if the same apply to fedirations.
