Humans.net wants to promote transparency and user empowerment on its #decentralized social network, but is a surprisingly opaque operation. Would you give your literal flesh and blood in the name of digital data ownership? Read more here bit.ly/2FGXXNu

I’m proud to announce the newly launched Global Mesh Labs will incubate the open-source protocol I’ve been working on for goTenna called Lot49. Our proposal adapts the Bitcoin #LightningNetwork to incentivize data delivery for offgrid mobile mesh networks. Feedback welcome!⚡️🕸️🌍

What is zero-control-packet #meshnetworking and why is it so revolutionary? Ram Ramanathan discusses his latest research study here: bit.ly/2MOzGL4

This blockchain start-up is actually putting their money where their mouth is - starting with disaster prevention and vulnerable communities. Read more about Sempo here: bit.ly/2Mx08ac

Opposition leaders, activists, and even school staff in Venezuela have used @gotenna Mesh to help set up alternative comms networks. Click to read more about how goTenna keeps schools running in Venezuela: bit.ly/2ONttjv

There's a more subtle way to attack the #bitcoin network than a 51% attack by miners. Richard Myers reviews "Bitcoin Eclipse Attacks" and describes some ways the software has been designed to keep nodes safe here: bit.ly/2lzagno

As the value of #Bitcoin increases, the threat of attacks targeting its communication network will also increase. Richard Myers describes new techniques designed to make it more resilient by increasing the size, diversity & connectivity bit.ly/2m9eqCB

Part 2 of our series on making a #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork payment over the goTenna Mesh network is now posted! See how wi͛llcl-ark uses native payment negotiation to speed up a payment to 2 minutes! See Will do a live demo of the system Sunday at #TLC2 buff.ly/2VSBLWY

Lot49 is solving the problem of growing and maintaining decentralized long-distance #meshcommunication and payment networks. Jonathan HB shows how we are engineering a low bandwidth solution using #Bitcoin and #LightningNetwork payment channels: buff.ly/34D8SBk

A new article by our Chief Scientist on the evolution of percolation theory -- the science behind diverse phenomena from coffee brewing to mesh connectivity -- and the insights it gives us into #meshnetworks. Read it here: bit.ly/386QNOG

Payments sent over a #meshnetwork require different trade-offs than payments made over the internet. Richard Myers describes why Global Mesh Labs plans to use gradient routing instead of source routing to optimize bandwidth while still preserving privacy: bit.ly/36GokOe

Part 3 of our series from wi͛llcl-ark is now available: "With this iteration of the project all of the pieces are in place to begin testing the world's first mesh communication network incentivized by decentralized Lightning payments." bit.ly/38tTiti

An informal tour of decentralized #algorithms for broadcasting in #meshnetworks, including ECHO – the breakthrough idea behind goTenna’s highly scalable broadcasting solution. Read more: bit.ly/3dhUTGq

Using a city road analogy, our Chief Scientist discusses two decades of research on the fundamental limits and dependencies of #scalability. Read the first of a two-part article on the scalability of #meshnetworks here: bit.ly/meshscalability

In the second part of our article on the #scalability of #meshnetworks, we use a Beltway analogy to discuss the impact of bitrate, message load, and protocols on scalability and introduce a zero-control-packet approach that enables unprecedented scaling. bit.ly/31g4NV4
