Those are good news. My apologies for my previous reply, in hindsight I was rude without a need for that.
You are correct that signals can be picked by small propellers at low altitude. I read too quickly and assumed commercial airliners at 10 000 meters.
My apologies, I've learned something new.

Bitcoin is owned by the state, monitored by the state and promoted by state.
It isn't coincidence to be called a fedcoin.
The only coin which the state is paying money to break its encryption is Monero. Which guess what? Is the #1 coin used on the web for purchasing stuff in real world since the past 5 years.

Just admit you never tried LoRa yourself.
Notice that all the pictures on the page you linked are taken on beautiful sunny days on high-located places without obstacles.
It is a nice gadget, good for the geekies.. just not really something you'll really use outside videos for instagram/youtube. Meshtastic has been criticized enough for holding back development on this topic if you ever pass long time inside the community.
You can receive LoRa on your backyard from 2000 kilometers away: https://tinygs.com/
But trust me that it won't really work for more than 100 meters inside a forest, with buildings or foggy/rainy days. I've tried it for months, maintained ground stations (which get damaged in less than a year). One thing is theory, the other is practice.

Thumbs up whenever possible to use reticulum. The obstacle is that it still won't solve the issue. Underneath reticulum the same IP addresses are used, therefore easy to bring down the relays.
TOR or similar VPN are still needed to keep the node safe. These nodes are already acting as VPN that isolate messages from the user IP addresses but I'm still in doubt how to make them reasonably untraceable even if slower.

Monero releases yearly 0,66% new coins on the market to assure everyone with a normal computer without graphic cards still has a fair chance to mine them. This ensures normal people maintaining the network get rewarded for mining. It isn't a big drama, it was a design decision to reward home-based miners.
You won't mine your fedcoin, you won't even bother to run a node. All of that is done at some chinese farm or whatever commercial groups approved by local governments. Your goal here is to see "store of value" and "money goes up" like any other jewish guy.
Monero is for the people.

In 99% of the apps it will be a valid nsec when the decoded string is matched to begin with text "nsec". That is the confirmation you need to know that the decoding without salt went OK.

It's more than a decade old, basically replaced bitcoin in the dark markets many years ago. Fees for payments are cheap (about 2 cent or less).
It used to be really easy to buy it on the street or exchanges, recently the governments closed down https://localmonero.co and forced the exchages to delist it (at the time even forced to fire the CEO of binance for refusing to do it).
The currency is mostly popular in Europe, Latin America, Africa and Arab countries because it could be mined with any old computer instead of expensive GPU or ASIC machines that only a few could afford.
If you want to receive large funds and pay privately in real world things, then monero is the coin that is used.
Trying out is a matter of downloading the wallet on your desktop: https://www.getmonero.org/ or installing something lke CakeWallet on Android.
To exchange dollars or euros for Monero is more difficult at the moment. The takedown happened two months ago, might take a bit until new methods start to popup. In either case, always good to learn about it.

MD5 is also cryptography. You wouldn't remember since you seem young, but once upon the time we'd see governments to keep promoting MD5 as a secure encryption mechanism despite all our warnings that it wasn't.
We just moved forward to SHA1 and nowadays SHA256.
Same thing with bitcoin, just moved forward to Monero already years ago.
And yes, I do know a few things about crypto and its roots. Was mining BTC and still with CPU back in 2009. You weren't there at the forums, you weren't there at the BBS. You really miss the point why we pushed for a crypto currency in the true sense of that word rather than settling for an MD5 equivalent fedcoin.

It was some time ago. Basically monero doesn't require graphic cards nor ASIC and anyone with an old computer can mine, so it was being mined in public institutions around Venezuela, and is also used to privately send money from US/Europe to family members there.

It is a complete casino coin, just look at this week. The only competitor at the same level is BNB and they own the casino.
Don't get me wrong, profit and whatnot is always good. The point is that you can also do money with Forex. There are reasons beyond the "value goes up" argument to use cryptocurrency. The most important is the root of the word "crypto" which means in latin to keep hidden, private.
When it isn't hidden nor private, it is just a casino coin or a virtual coin. But it certainly isn't a cryptocoin on the true sense of the word.

Fantastic. Basically we can specify any source for the installer. Maybe as idea instead of just YAML to add support for a scripting language that can perform more actions?
In some cases, for example on Organic Maps they don't include the offline maps. So they need to be downloaded from their servers, which might not be always be available because of no internet or server is down. In those cases we have to manually copy the files after installation, but with a scripted approach we can program copying files from the installation folder onto the final location.

Hello @nprofile…hhpd , I've created a new account on primal but by default I'm unable to post or "like". Is it because I didn't verified the account?
On coracle.social the same account works great but I prefer to keep using primal. I've checked the relays on primal and looks OK.
What is missing here to make the account work?
Thanks.
