IRC (SSL): irc.jollo.org:9999 #gternet Wiki: mesh.gentoo.today Last thread: What is Sup Forumsternet? Sup Forumsternet would be our own decentralized p2p network running on our own infrastructure, totally disconnected from the clearnet. It will be a combination of DIY meshnets on a city wide basis, and a platform for interconnecting these city wide meshnets over p2p openvpn bridges and high powered wireless dishes for City to City relays. The Inter-Meshnet part of the project will allow any existing DIY meshnets to join our network by adding a bridge node or a city to city relay. The short term goal is to have a few anons set up their own local meshnet and link them together using the bridges as a proof of concept. A long term goal is gain a large enough user density that we can disable the brige nodes and have our own decentralized network idependent of the internet. Currently, we're going to use batman-adv.
This project is a week old, so we need all the expertise and help we can get. Every contribution is valuable! Gather a group of friends and join the IRC and wiki.
To Do: - decide on hardware standards for City to City relays - create resources for newbies on the wiki - gather more people - start building internet bridges for the intermesh connections (Linux Sysadmin tier) - start designing diy kits for meshnet end users (Should be newbie-midlevel friendly tier) - look into croundfunding options for purchasing city to city relay backbone equipment (Richfag tier)
Things NOT To Do: - Talk about logos - Talk about names
we have these diagrams showing some designs, and a working one.

There's a guy like 7 miles away from me in wales so that's a pretty feasible distance to connect over.
Lucas Johnson
Keep politics out of this please. Tech only. We need everyone we can get for this to work
Justin Gomez
Any Canadians involved?
Chase Cook
Check the map

Look at those digits. All power to the trigod
Jordan Jenkins
What about people living in small villages?
Cameron Miller
Use a p2p bridge node. To link remote meshes to the network over layer 2 internet bridges
Carter Parker
And Kali!
Logan Price
Okay i agree with the no logo talk stuff but thats pretty good.
Jason Taylor
>tfw only person in my country on map
has anyone considered joining the sopranica/WOM project? they intend to make a mesh cell phone network and have been working on that since 2009 I think wom.community/
Robert Sanchez
I'm pretty sure cock li was busted and has been a honeypot for quite some time now
Jack Walker
so start building your own mesh and getting more people involved on your side locally. We cant just go building this shit as single people.
Aiden Barnes
lol
Andrew Nguyen
Kali is cute, need her antenna hat tho.
Carson Green
I know. I just find it amusing because my country prides itself on technology. I will post on local boards to try to garner interest
Jayden Richardson
No idea how I'd help, but this project seems cool. Don't let me down Sup Forums.
Thomas Hernandez
add your contact info on the map if you're interested
presumably there will be a way to sell donuts though

Also, what hardware do you guys suggest for a dedicated server? Would an rpi 3 hooked up to an antenna be enough?
Ian Price
Something like a raspi works for all cases, the actual antenna is the issue. I am still waiting to know what's the final decision from the hardware wizards on what to use.
Owen Kelly
I personally think the new Ubiquiti LiteBeam is a great antenna for it. It’s pretty powerful, rather cheap ($57), and perfect for our needs. But let’s see what Sup Forums decides.
Jack Sanders
Isn't there a wiki page to add the recommended hardware?
So hypothetically I could use the guide knots was working on paired with two of these to connect with say my brother's house like less than five miles away?
Isaac Morales
How usable is GNUnet from command line?
Connor Mitchell
>To Do: >- decide on hardware standards for City to City relays How about this? gotenna.com/
Eli Russell
Are you a wizard?
Sebastian Mitchell
oh.
Cooper Long
yes. however we have not started working on the wireless intermesh part. right now all the local meshnets have to be linked with an internet bridge. But that is a good setup for you to start trying to figure out what we have to do for long distance wireless connections.
Connor Bailey
We have this conversation. GNUnet on CLI is better than their GUI, you can actually make it work.
Tyler White
Knots here. Pis got delivered today after all. Its getting real Sup Forums
Adam Moore
just read it from IRC, may the testing begin!
Austin Morales
Are those nachos? Also good to hear from you again.
Jace Martin
If you can grab a clear line of sight looks like some of the customers were saying they could get a mile pretty easily and around 3 miles with enough precision. (Model LBE-5AC-23-US)

Ignored By Big Telecom, Detroit's Marginalized Communities Are Building Their Own Interne
looks cute, but it's kinda expensive and the shipping is limited, but I thinks it's good suggestion
David Turner
>closest person is like 300km away
William Davis
build a local meshnet and a p2p intermesh node faggot
Ian Nguyen
bongnet when?
David Hughes
Can we have Kali as official mascot too?
Kayden Cooper
as soon as you brits stop sipping tea and start building
Camden Hall
thoughts on creating a crypto token and ICO to fund development?
The hook for the ICO will be that you can use the tokens as the future Sup Forumsternet currency e.g. for bandwidth / storage / domain registration / ad space etc.
I can code the smart contract for the currency quite easily
Brody Hughes
>fund development Before making yet another cryptocurrency you should have done crowdfunding and accept donations to make antennas and buy equipment for long range transmission.
Even then the idea is terrible if you think how bad it can go.
Isaac Parker
What is happening with the wiki?
Leo Cruz
its constantly going down if that answers your question, and slow when its up
in irc we came up with the possible idea of selling premade wireless routers using something like rpi and a decent antenna. that would be more than suitable to crowdfund
Kevin Ortiz
>selling premade wireless routers using something like rpi and a decent antenna This is one is a good idea. This way normies can join too, by buying premade stuff.
Then, we can start building long range stuff.
Kevin White
Knots here. I like this idea.
I just grabbed usb cables. Micro sd carslds, and solar panels for my PIs.
Im just waiting on my weed guy then im heading home to work on the meshnet stuff.
Carson Wood
how long range can we make a single RPI (or other node in a box solution)?
Matthew Morris
Suppose we are lucky and the FCC doesn't repeal Net Neutrality. Will people still be interested in this project?
Isaiah Fisher
Ill let you know once i test with mine. Im thinking probably less than 100 feet between rips with their stock antenna
Jaxon Hill
here we go boys, im ready to pull the trigger
Julian Turner
Yes.
Luis Jones
yes because our network will basically be free
Aaron Lopez
>single RPI Again, the raspi is the computer running the server, not the antenna making the transmission. Completely different things.
YES.
kek
Jose Reyes
we are live, let the crowdfunding commence
Sebastian Ward
don't be so pedantic, you know what i meant. We provide a box (rpi / whatever + antenna + power supply), user plugs it in to power socket, it boots and starts broadcasting. How close does it need to be to another node to join the network?
Samuel Green
well if you used something like amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0039ORBLK/ with a powerful usb wifi adapter, i would guess 1km?. because these are omni directional, its just a guess ,9dbi seems powerful
Aaron Thompson
I don't know which antenna you are using and we haven't decided on one, that's the problem.
we should test the antennas before we add them to the recommendations list.
Jackson Collins
so, let's assume max 500 meters (1600 feet to amerifags) in an urban environment. One of these would cost about 50 USD to put together (ie. rasp PI + battery pack / power supply + antenna).
So let's blanket an entire region by placing them at strategic locations in a densely populated area, approx 500 meters apart. If we raise say 500k, we can put down 10,000 of these bad boys and our network is up and running with the normies across an entire country.
Anthony Gomez
Maybe is better to add them to the list and put a note about if its confirmed to work well and its range.
Gabriel Jones
i have 10,000 GINTs who wants one?
Julian Foster
Sounds like a plan. Make sure to include solar panels if the whole thing doesn't consume much power and the weather is good.
Austin Long
I'd also like to know what solar panel you used for the pi.
Asher Brooks
How do I contribute to this? I'm quite interested in the idea..
David Adams
The Litebeam ac looks like the best range if true. Let me know if any of you use it.
