some projects/ideas i found in the last couple of years, that try to solve our current problem of the internet being a centralized structure that is controllable by big corporations or governments and not so easily usable with mesh technology or when not being connected for long amounts of time

    You don’t see the problem with a payment system that is fundamentally unreliable?

    Why would you pay your phone bills with lightning? I don’t know which country you live in, but where I lived there are so many easier methods to pay your phone bills.

      @Alphane_Moon You are the one saying it’s unreliable but also you are not using it. Here is someone using it and saying it is reliable ok. Go figure.

        Why would I use a payment system that developers themselves call unreliable? Are you serious?

        I am not even talking about overall usability (i.e. recipient support) and UX/UI…
