No wonder #Meshtastic is text only. I thought it would be cool if you could send audio recordings over the mesh and yet one second of audio in my audio recorder was 1.8 kilobytes. On LongFast that would take 18 seconds to send and even on ShortFast it would take 2 seconds. And that wasn't even recording in high quality audio mode.

My first thought about this is that they really should be using a higher frequency signal because a higher frequency signal requires smaller antennas to both transmit and receive because the wavelength of the radio wave is smaller. I believe they are using PCS 1900 megahertz, but it seems like this would work better if they were using their C band at 3700 megahertz or their 2.5 gigahertz because of the smaller frequency and therefore the antennas would be larger compared to the wavelength of the radio wave.

I sell items priced in Monero and my prices are going to have to drop yet again. I've been having to drop prices since I started selling in August of last year. Not once have I had to raise my prices because of Monero's value. The only reason I've had to raise prices is when my supplier charged me more for the product.

those are good middle ground antennas.

2025-03-01 20:43:37

- reply

Yeah, higher gain is not always better. It may seem like it, but it's not always true. A high gain antenna in your cell phone to talk to cell phone towers would be an absolute disaster. Or a high gain in your GPS receiver would be an absolute disaster. In meshtastic, it's probably better to use a 3dbi rather than a 10dbi. Just because you can get signals from airplanes coming over sometimes, and you do not know where the signal is going to originate from.

2025-03-01 20:29:51

Here's a website with a good picture to show off what I mean.
https://www.loraantenna.com/antenna-gain-explanation/

2025-03-01 20:25:46

- reply

Keep in mind that higher gain means more directionality and less wiggle room for height. So if a node is too far up or too far down from your elevation with a high gain antenna you may very well not be able to hit it. A low gain antenna is better if you do not know which direction your signal is coming from. A 3DBI antenna receives in a very spherical pattern at a slightly shorter distance, where a 10DBI antenna receives in a very flat pancake kind of pattern at longer distance, but cannot receive very low below the antenna and cannot receive very high above the antenna.

i sent it to woodser because it seems like a valid criticism. So I'm waiting to get his take. And talking about what can potentially be done to fix it, such as requiring a password for all offers instead of just zero deposit offers.

2025-03-01 15:05:49

- reply

I've already brought it up to the developer, Woodser, and we will see what he thinks. Because to me, it seems like a valid criticism, and valid criticisms need to be looked at.
My thought would be that since zero deposit offers already currently generate a random password client side that must be given to the taker that it could be used for all offers instead of just zero deposit offers.
Now, that requires being able to contact the seller in order to get the password, and in version 1.0.19, that functionality has been added, and it is going to be a required update anyway. So, potentially, it could get put in to version 1.0.19.
What I am unsure of is how you go about upgrading already published existing offers that don't have contact information. I guess you could force delete them and have them be recreated after the update, which while a paint in the ass would be worth it.

You guys are behind schedule. That's today, not tomorrow.

2025-03-01 14:15:59

- reply

The way it would work would be that an arbitrator would create a bot to take the offers and then use the key from the taker bot and their arbitrator key to steal the escrow which contains the seller's Monero plus their security deposit.
It seems like the two ways to avoid this would be to either
A: have a bunch of arbitrators so that any one arbitrator is not chosen for the vast majority of the offers
or
B: make offer taking a request process instead of a demand process.

Monero hits $1m per coin and You open your cake wallet or other such wallet and are able to use it immediately because it's not on any centralized exchanges because it was kicked off years ago. And so you were forced to use it the proper way all along.

I can think of a solution almost immediately that would solve the one problem you bring up with Haveno. All that would have to be done would be to make offer taking a request instead of a demand. Zero deposit offers are already this way because they require the maker to give a password that's randomly generated client side.

2025-03-01 13:07:21

Reto no longer *requires* a deposit. Sellers have the option to do a zero deposit trade with a randomly generated password and contact method of their choice.

Found the government sponsored Bitcoin maxi. You guys rely on Michael Saylor and ETFs to hold up your price and every four years your mining reward gets cut in half which will eventually cause your network security issues. Meanwhile, people actually use Monero as a currency, as Satoshi intended.

Also, because Bitcoin fees can fluctuate so much, people don't buy Monero with Bitcoin. They buy Monero with Litecoin, USDT, USDC, or directly with fiat currency whenever possible.

Yep, if you can get some height, then you'll definitely be fine. Although you might have to get a second node, one that you put up high as you possibly can and put it in client mode, and then one that you have on the ground with you that you put in client mute mode.

You may want to consider going with a lower gain antenna just simply because once you start to get above a wavelength on the frequency, you start getting directionality on your antenna.

saw a new #meshtastic node pop up 28 miles from me via meshmap. Obviously I have no chance of hitting that, but it's good to see that new nodes are popping up so that densification can take place. Before, other than the one single node in my city, you had to go 70 miles to find more nodes. 28 miles isn't great, but 28 miles is a hell of a lot better than 70 miles. And with a few more nodes, there's actually a chance I could communicate with that one.

The little amount of inflation that does occur only replaces lost coins and incentivizes miners to not charge hundreds of US dollars for fees. I totally ditched Bitcoin back in 2017 when I went to buy a coffee from Starbucks and the fee was double what the coffee cost. That is not a useful MOE currency.
