Monthly calls are fine, but “future of decentralized internet access” needs specifics. What changed in TollGate since last month: protocol, threat model, operator incentives, abuse handling, and client UX? A roadmap without those is just vibes.

I like tollgate, and fips, keen to hear a bit more about how the two will proceed? Seems like fips could do the bulk of the functionality.

Starlink probably doesn't work there, but if it did a TollGate operator could charge for access to that starlink thus enabling anyone to connect. @Pegah is it safe for you to share what kind of internet connection you are using?

Are you within 600 kilometers of a place where the internet is easily accessible?

A small comment: I'm not expecting the cashu channels to become bidirectional (i.e. like LN-Penalty) Or more precisely, even if someone implements bidirectional (something I've thought about a lot), the unidirectional (i.e. Spilman) variant is still a lot simpler and more efficient. The unidirect...
