Here's my modest setup. I'm going to wait for them to finalize supported hardware and probably get some odroids to go with my rpis.

Raspberry is the cheapest out there but you can play around also with Orange pi Prime, or odroid, or pine64, or lepotato. You can make it work, but if you are a perfectionist go with Orange

obviously they have to keep it going for awhile longer, they can pretend to be doing shit for as long as they need to.
no progress in 5 years hasn't stopped people from pretending to invest.
Yes i know you're all fake because there was only $50,000 volume before the fake chinese pumps.
if they were to just out right say it was a scam the SEC would be all over their asses.

there's a few reasons why few people are running tons of nodes yet; 1 bandwidth limitations. Unlike bitcoin mining for example, sky miners will get you paid for bandwidth; before antennas you're going to have all the nodes you need to saturate a 1 gigabit connection and adding more won't help.

2. It's not mainnet yet; payouts are for participation and to expand the geographic scope of the network, not node count, with a minimum standard of hardware

>>10145500
it was all a meme. no skyminer is talking to another one via fucking wifi antennae, the mainnet doesn't matter. this is a clever angle on a zoomer tier ponzi. i am not saying you can't make money from this, it is a better BCC.

Anyone have experience how long the whitelisting process takes currently?

>>10145987
this project doesn't even need the antennas or mesh network to be successful, but I think it will see some success. If there's a standard to follow it makes it easier for communities like these to setup something instead of rolling their own.

there are also a lot of use cases in southeast asia/Africa where ANY internet is in high demand to remove dependence on price gouging phone plans.

On the other end of the spectrum for places that already have reliable fast internet you have enthusiasts and corporate usecases. TCP/IP and UDP and the routing over the existing internet are the products of weak hardware when the protocols were being decided upon. Having source-defined routing where you can set as many or as few parallel routes to maximize bandwidth, increase confidence of the packet reaching the destination, or choosing the lowest latency path are all things that are required for different commercial applications but impossible to do on the current internet. Protocols to handle this have been around for 40 years, it doesn't even take any software innovation to set this stuff up, it's just cryptocurrency gives an incentive for people to keep it running. There are currently antennas too that are capable of handling this where you can do a line of sight connection over 25 kilometers.

I'll buy a few antennas just for the nerd factor and set them up with a few friends to do channel bonding to go beyond the highest bandwidth I can get as an individual for shits and giggles, but I'm more interested in the project for their dapp services than the mesh network.

very ellaborate. so what dApp s are we talking about? Skycoin is not the only one developing such apps, just wondering what the differences are.. ok, the dapp has a frontend and, instead of a centralized server, it s shared between users through.. smart contracts for example. is that right?

>> No.10146915

id say 300 is a long shot, given the value of coin when it hit Binance.. however it looks good on the long term, hopefully it will come back to the original peak and even go higher
