The website is still a draft. Hopefully we can publish a beta release for brave testers soon.
TollGates come with VPN clients to protect operators who interface with fiat ISPs from the traffic. However, I am in favor of not including a VPN server in the release to steer clear of the "tor exit node" controversies.
Fortunately, someone else is working on tooling that sells access to an IP address for SATs, so TollGate operators can use that if they want to operate a VPN server as well:

Perhaps JMP.chat is an option. Does anyone have experience with it?
---
### **1. JMP.chat (XMPP-based)**
- **Features**: Get a real phone number, SMS/MMS support, pay-per-minute calls to landlines/mobiles.
- **Payment**: Bitcoin via BTCPayServer (non-custodial, no KYC).
- **Cost**: $0.03/min for calls, $0.01/SMS + small monthly fee ($1.50).
- **Setup**: Requires XMPP client (e.g., Siskin, Conversations).
---
### **2. Localphone**
- **Features**: Call 200+ countries, no subscription.
- **Payment**: Bitcoin via BitPay (check BitPay’s KYC thresholds; small amounts may bypass).
- **Cost**: Rates start at $0.01/min.
---
### **3. VoIP.ms (SIP Provider)**
- **Features**: Pay-as-you-go SIP trunking for calls/SMS.
- **Payment**: Bitcoin accepted (account creation requires email/name, but minimal verification).
- **Setup**: Use apps like Linphone or Zoiper.
---
### **4. Bitrefill (Indirect Option)**
- **Features**: Buy refills for services like Viber Out, Dingtone, or Lycamobile with Bitcoin.
- **Limitations**: Some services may require phone number verification.
---
### **5. Self-Hosted Asterisk/PBX**
- **Advanced**: Host your own VoIP server (e.g., Asterisk) and pair with a Bitcoin-friendly SIP provider (e.g., Callcentric).
---
### Privacy Tips:
- Use a **VPN** (e.g., Mullvad, accepts Bitcoin) to mask your IP.
- Pair with a **Bitcoin wallet** like Sparrow (CoinJoin support) for transaction privacy.
- For email signups, use **ProtonMail** or **CTemplar** (anonymous accounts via Tor).
---
### Example Workflow with JMP.chat:
```bash
# 1. Install XMPP client (e.g., Siskin on iOS/Android)
# 2. Sign up at JMP.chat, pay via Bitcoin
# 3. Configure XMPP client with JMP credentials
# 4. Call/SMS directly from the app
```
Avoid services like Skype, Google Voice, or WhatsApp—they require phone numbers or KYC.

We are focusing on OpenWRT at the moment, but we are happy to help if someone wants to package the modules for Start9.

Paying for an outcome doesn't necessarily result in consensus either. We have consensus on the validity of transactions in Bitcoin, but that's a very narrowly scoped problem.

### Learning from [Open Coms meetup at xhain](https://x-hain.de/en/calendar/#content) on `07.02.2025`
[Source routing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_routing) could be worth learning about once TollGate supports multi WAN.
* My understanding: source routing lets users specify which gateway to use when they have a choice between a fast gateway and a cheap gateway for instance.
* Questions:
* what role does identity play in source routing?
* Does a user need to know the path or is it good enough to choose between various quantifiable options: like fast vs cheap?
There is [a paper](https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3529097) that describes something between @nprofile…hxfy's [LOT49](https://github.com/global-mesh-labs/lot49) and @nprofile…3stq.

## CW 5 review
Last week worked on OpenWRT deployments some more. We already had the ability to build packages, upload them to blossom, advertise them on nostr, install them in OpenWRT images and download them onto the router. However, this stiff only worked for the `GL-MT3000`, not for the `GL-AR300m` and @nprofile…7u3d's latest changes to the packages weren't present in the OpenWRT images that were created.
### Problems with `golang.mk`
We are building a newer version of `golang` before we build our go-based packages, because the golang that comes with OpenWRT is outdated to the extent that it isn't compatible with our nostr dependencies. There is a file called `golang.mk`, which Makefiles use to specify the target architecture of a build. I created the file as a placeholder because the SDK expected it to be present for the build, but there seem to be problems with the architecture I specify and the way I introduce the file to the SDK.
#### How `golang.mk` is introduced
I was only building the relay when I first created `golang.mk`, so I used the relay's Makefile to copy it from my custom feed to the correct location in the SDK. This worked fine for a while, but it meant that the relay's Makefile needed to run before the Makefile of any other go based packages in order to avoid errors. Now I am introducing the file in the script that [triggers the makefiles](https://github.com/OpenTollGate/tollgate-sdk/blob/ddb56a007978bb4ffc7d9e8bb999871a419ecf6d/build-firmware#L155-L157), so that its always present when one of the go-based packages is built.
##### Building for `GL-AR300m`
Earlier I mentioned that the image builder worked for the `GL-MT3000`, but not for the `GL-AR300m`. It turned out that the packages that the SDK produced for the `GL-AR300m` also [couldn't be installed](https://njump.me/nevent1qqstjrl8v80srjz7prwu9xx49wnha6vmvcnv80r3ecmq7y0g2y5mdmqpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsyg86u6zkjdqrlppxyrar37y79l0urmqtjh8ue24pnx7gl7ktwtfwsspsgqqqqqqs05gqrv) on the router manually. This probably had something to do with the fact that there is a `nand` and a `nor` version of that router and that `golang.mk` was miss-configured. Your expertise is most welcome to ensure that we pass reasonable arguments to the compiler and to ensure that we can target a wide range of routers efficiently.
#### Changes not taking effect
As you can see in the following diagram, OpenWRT packages are listed in a custom feed, which points the SDK to the right branch of the package's repo. A file in the SDK's repository lists feeds to be considered when making packages and the image builder pre-installs packages that the SDK produced in an OpenWRT image for the users to install.
https://image.nostr.build/694c68e503d01da62f491bd032b055f3c14205d5cfbabb00f85274a5471f8932.jpg
Previously the [nostr announcements](https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0367hrqx70y7std5xjladu46d5pc7u4lhf7gw0yme8k5zjcr5wqcpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsyg8d577gs99pxwfm2u4stjlw3fkksa83hwqg5tuyel3ejnfalxzdrypsgqqqqqqsk6vpzk) of freshly compiled packages didn't mention which branch of a specific package was used to create the package, but [now they do](https://njump.me/nevent1qqsv57c768688zwsy928l6hnjfw5h0wx2tt4travk2kuxkp3raa644gpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsyg8d577gs99pxwfm2u4stjlw3fkksa83hwqg5tuyel3ejnfalxzdrypsgqqqqqqskdwqym).
Unfortunately, changes that we make to the source code in the binaries still don't reflect in the package when we execute it, even though we have reassured ourselves that we are building the right branch. Perhaps code is being cached somewhere, but this problem occurs even when I start from a completely clean slate.
### Git workflows to the rescue
It is critical that the changes we make reflect in the packages we release, so clearly the spaghetti deployment needs to be simplified. I got a [minimal version](https://github.com/OpenTollGate/tollgate-sdk/pull/4) of the build to work without pushing to blossom and without announcements on nostr. Unfortunately, `noscl` didn't find its private key when running in a git actions workflow, but I hope to get the whole build setup working in git actions, so that we can be more systematic about how we address the problem of changes to packages not taking effect in our binaries.

* Spoke about having a second WPA interface for better UX
* Easy fix: pre-emptive auth: allow all clients, but kick them off if they didn't pay
* Do we need to leave the WiFi and reconnect after a MAC address was de-authenticaed and re-authenticated again?
* Will android just happily use the gateway if I'm already authenticated?

Sure, the only thing you get is "don't trust, verify that this is truly yours". If you dig deep enough (ecdsa, hash functions etc..) it actually becomes quite difficult to verify, so we are no free of axioms 🤣

Initially, TollGate used WiFi captive portals to accept e-cash for access to a gateway. TollGates were also able to buy internet access from each other using curl requests to their respective captive portals, thus allowing the user to be multiple hops away from a KYC internet connection.
Now TollGates are more modular and they use nostr events for interoperability between services. This enables users to make small, frequent data purchases without the bad UX of captive portals:

# Building TollGate
Our build pipeline is still undergoing change, but things need to stabilise and become easy for developers (like you) to use. Your feedback and pull requests are most welcome.
### How does OpenWRT manage packages?
OpenWRT uses a package manager called `opkg` to install packages (`.ipk` files), which are compiled to from `Makefiles`. When you build OpenWRT, it clones a [`feeds.conf`](https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/main/feeds.conf.default) file containing all the required dependencies. You can include a link to your own [custom feed](https://github.com/OpenTollGate/custom-nostr-feed) which contains `Makefiles` that download your repositories of your custom packages into the OpenWRT directory so that they can be build along with the rest of the operating system.
> [!NOTE]
> Beware, compiling with the full buildroot does everything from scratch, every time you want to try your custom program. You may want to avoid this when making frequent changes to the packages in your custom feed.
>
> This takes too long, (almost) no-one has that much time for freedom..
### Using the SDK
Fortunately, there is something called an SDK, which is essentially a simplified buildroot containing a stripped down version of the OpenWRT source tree. The SDK contains:
• Compiler toolchains and libraries (precompiled)
• Scripts and makefiles to handle package configuration and compilation
Since the compiler and most dependencies are already built when you use the SDK, you only compile your custom feeds or packages. Now we can just [download & unpack](https://github.com/OpenTollGate/tollgate-sdk/blob/71e37959c3e0d4a4ef9c8d053f9d9fdb72a797cb/build-firmware#L141-L148) the SDK, [place our custom feeds](https://github.com/OpenTollGate/tollgate-sdk/blob/71e37959c3e0d4a4ef9c8d053f9d9fdb72a797cb/build-firmware#L156-L162), use `make defconfig` to create a configuration file and `make package/[our_package]/compile` to compile the individual packages.
Once we have our packages, we upload them to blossom servers and create a nostr event listing the binaries we uploaded, the servers that they can be found on and the commit hashes of the repositories that the packages were compiled from.
Now that we have our packages on blossom servers, routers can just listen for signed nostr events announcing compatible updates, download the packages and install them using the OpenWRT package manager. Disclaimer: we need you to make this client.
> [!Your Turn]
> [Here](#nevent1q…s0pk) are some practical details for those who actually want to do it.
### Using the image-builder
Another option is to use the image-builder to download a pre-defined list of packages and [install them](https://github.com/OpenTollGate/tollgate-image-builder/blob/d4d48ea0df756b3c25aeb0b77201c242a1a789aa/build-firmware#L257-L268) in an OpenWRT image. We can also place configuration files that we need in the image's filesystem, which could be more reliable (declarative) than modifying configuration files using the install section of a package's `Makefile`.
Now we have an OpenWRT image that we can copy to the router using `scp` and install with `sysupgrade -n [image_name].bin`.
> [!Your Turn]
> [Here](#nevent1q…6cjn) are some practical details for those who actually want to do it.
### Outlook - runners in gitworkshop.dev
We want to create git actions for the tool that compiles packages with the SDK and the tool that installs these packages into an OpenWRT image so that we can tap into stranded compute in order to iterate more quickly.
Fortunately there is this awesome tool called `ngit`, which creates nostr events for our `git` commits and enables us to use nostr to create `issues` and `pull requests`. Fortunately @nprofile…7u3d is integrating an open-source runner for git actions with gitworkshop so that `npubs` can stack SATs by running your git actions for you.
### Something is missing, wrong or outdated?
Lets fix it. Make a pull request, DM the maintainers, edit the event. We need you!

### Using the SDK in practice
Earlier we explained the ins and outs of building packages and images for OpenWRT. Now lets actually build a package rather than just talking about it.
##### Lets clone the SDK
```
git clone https://github.com/OpenTollGate/tollgate-sdk.git
```
##### Lets install a tool to interact with blossom servers
```
./blossom-installer.sh
```
##### Lets install a tool to interact with nostr relays
```
./noscl-installer.sh
```
##### Lets prepare a file containing the keys for these tools
```
cat blossom_secrets.json
{
"servers": [
"https://files.v0l.io/",
"https://nostr.download/",
"https://blossom.poster.place/"
],
"relays": [
"wss://orangesync.tech",
"wss://nostr.mom",
"wss://nostr.chaima.info"
],
"secret_key": "nsec[your_secret_key]",
"secret_key_hex": "[hex_version_of_your_secret_key]",
"public_key": "npub[your_public_key]",
"public_key_hex": "[hex_version_of_your_public_key]"
}
```
##### Lets go!
```
./build-firmware gl-mt3000
```
The above script
* installs some dependencies
* downloads the SDK to `/tmp/openwrt-sdk/openwrt-sdk-23.05.3-mediatek-filogic_gcc-12.3.0_musl.Linux-x86_64`
* compiles `golang` as part of a custom feed because the newest version of `golang` is too old for some of [our dependencies](https://github.com/OpenTollGate/tollgate-module-relay-go/blob/main/src/go.mod)
* compiles the remaining custom feeds
> [!Patience]
> Even though we are using the SDK, the above steps will take a while if your running them for the first time. This might be your chance to get a coffee.
##### Are you winning?
Eventually you should see the following output. This is the nostr event that your npub just broadcasted to announce that you compiled your custom feed successfully and that your packages are available on this listed blossom servers. Maybe @nprofile…ucf3 has advice on how we can improve this workflow.

We have plenty of questions that could benefit from your expertise:
* how can we make our custom packages smaller - static/dynamic linking?
* how can we configure [`golang.mk`](https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs95086an45xa94kxjml23t3774xr2kr295pw0m4u4d4jyaazfcfrsserkkj) so that we can target pretty any OpenWRT router successfully?
* how can we get the builds to run more quickly?
* does it make sense to create a separate git action for each of our modules or is the `set-up` and `tear-down` too expensive?

# [How accurate is Monty Python's 'Anarcho-Syndicalist Peasant' scene? Were small medieval villages de-facto self governing and autonomous from their noble lord and wider nation?](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/ifvv73/how_accurate_is_monty_pythons_anarchosyndicalist/)
There will be more to say, and doubtless other examples to proffer, but perhaps the medieval "peasant republic" of Dithmarschen is the closest fit for the sort of community you are envisaging.
Located on the North Sea coastline in the marshy confluence of what is now the borderlands of Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark, Dithmarschen was an ethnically Saxon enclave in a part-Danish, part- Frisian border district that lay within the perpetually-contested border between Denmark and the Holy Roman Empire.
This poor, low-lying and swampy district endured as what was to all intents and purposes an independent polity for 330 years, from 1227 to 1559, and was – according to William Urban, author of the only study of the place in English – a "unique" society whose "form of government violated nearly every generalization made about the medieval period."
This was not an area of much strategic significance, and nor was it an hospitable environment:
> The coast is largely marsh – salty, forbidding, and ever-changing under the lash of storm and tide... The climate has proved to be both friend and foe to every person who has lived along that coast. The winters are long and dreary. Rain and fog cover the low-lying landscape for months at a time. A cold wetness permeates the stoutest covering. The meadows can become seas of mud. Winters are often a succession of terrible storms, breaking dikes and overwhelming the work of decades and generations... The wind is ever-present and powerful in ways that only sailors and inhabitants of the Great Plains can understand. No great woods, no quiet valleys exist. Instead, there is a feeling of unlimited space and open skies...
Nonetheless, the area did incorporate some rich farmland, and in the springs and summers "the meadows and marshes blossomed forth in magnificent abundance" that made the little territory covetable to some. According to Urban, Dithmarschen owed its independence largely to a power vacuum that emerged in the district as a result of the severe defeat of the Danish King Valdemar the Conqueror at the Battle of Bornhöved in July 1227 – a loss apparently occasioned by the precipitous retreat of a contingent of Dithmarscher infantry which was supposed to be covering the king's cavalry. Whatever their culpability in the matter, the local peasants put the disaster to good use, reaching an agreement with the Archbishop of Hamburg which involved them recognising him as their lord without actually conceding effective sovereignty, retaining, as a result, "such autonomy as to be practically self-governing." The Dithmarschers subsequently built their own _dom_, or cathedral, in the small town of Meldorp, and this building became, after about 1300, the seat of their quasi-independent peasant government.
Broadly, Urban argues, Dithmarschen was a clan-based society which owed its effective independence to a combination of ongoing chaos in the Holy Roman Empire, which prevented serious steps being taken to curtail the minor irritation caused by the existence of a small community of independent-minded peasants living in a hard-to-get-at marsh, and an obscure victory won by its peasant clans over the local petty nobility as a result of the so-called Rabbit War of 1289.
To take the external developments first: once the Danish border had been pushed north in 1227, the main temporal rulers in the area were the counts of Holstein. Their territory was broken up and divided between sons on two separate occasions, in 1263 and 1290, weakening what was left of the county to the point where it had no real ability to impose itself militarily on its neighbours. For his part, meanwhile, the bishop of Hamburg devoted most of his resources to attempting to improve his tax base by bringing the much richer peasants living south of the Elbe under his control. Dithmarschen took advantage of this situation, paying "a small contribution" to the archbishop every year, and studiously refraining from provoking him into serious military action in return "for guarantees that they would be permitted to practice the self-government they believed to be essential to their way of life." After 1329, the taxes owed to Hamburg amounted to no more than a one-off payment of 500 marks made by the Dithmarschers to each new bishop at the time of his election, "after which they would wish him a long life and have almost no other obligations." In the same period, the peasants of Dithmarschen established a long-lasting informal alliance with the Hanseatic port of Lübeck, across the Jutland peninsula to their east, which over the next two centuries provided them with both an outlet for surplus goods and a source of imports – not least weaponry. The presence of other small independent polities nearby, by the way, is a reminder not only that the Holy Roman Empire in this period comprised dozens, and eventually hundreds, of political units, among which it was almost always possible to find allies to band together with against common enemies, but also that Dithmarschen itself was not nearly so anomalous an entity, nor so threatening to the contemporary political order, as it might have been had it existed inside a more centralised state such as England – a factor that doubtless helps to explain the republic's considerable longevity.
Within Dithmarschen, meanwhile, political power continued to reside in the hands of a class of petty nobles, the "serf-knights" (_ministeriale_), most of whom had risen from the ranks of the more well-to-do local peasantry themselves. These men held most of the administrative positions within Ditchmarschen, but lacked the right to claim hereditary control over these offices. In the aftermath of the Rabbit War, most of the members of this group were forced into exile in Holstein (c.1290), while others chose to stay in the district and form their own clan, the Vodiemannen (literally "advocates"), and were absorbed into the local peasant society. From then on, according to Urban and F.C. Dahlmann, Ditchmarschen's government comprised an annual assembly of elders and clan chiefs, which met at Meldorp once a year "to make laws for the entire land." Because these meetings were short, and focused largely on the urgent practicalities of dike-building and maintenance, and because there were well over 100 rival clans within the marshlands, it was almost impossible to pass comprehensive packages of legislation, and although a written constitution did gradually emerge (it is this, Urban argues, that gives Dithmarschen its claim to be considered a genuinely independent polity), no one clan could dominate even at a parish level without causing an alliance of rival families to form against it. The result was that the average Dithmarscher parish was in most respects independent from its neighbours, and the average peasant living in one of those parishes was a free man who farmed his own land and lived a life about as close to that of the "anarcho-syndicalist peasant" of _Monty Python and the Holy Grail_ as any did in Europe, joining together with his neighbours only to resist the infrequent military incursions launched against Dithmarschen by its neighbours.

The collective word is `liberty` and it's granted to a group by an authority. `Freedom` is taken by individuals, so it is a property of individuals by definition.
Free individuals tend to pressure authorities to grant greater liberties to groups of people. We owe our liberties to such free individuals.

I don't worry about DNS because we have npubs now. However, I do worry about IP addresses - perhaps because I don't understand IPV6 well enough.
My understanding is that IPV6 comes with more addresses, so individual users can have more "public" authority in their local networks. However, my understanding is that IANA is still the top authority responsible for allocating resources in the internet. Am I missing something?
