🌐Upgrading Your Internet for Censorship Resistance and P2P Connectivity 🚀
With some funding and community help, you can all build infrastructure to improve decentralization and privacy worldwide. Not everyone needs this level of communication, a simple simplex or Keet client paired with a lightning wallet to fund your project, whether it be around providing utilities like gas ,lights and data, electricity .So here is a proposed plan:
Lightning Nodes⚡
Setup a high capacity Lightning node using Umbrel (https://youtu.be/KahRH_u2UMA?feature=shared) ↗)
Goal is 0.292 BTC capacity for good uptime and connectivity
Nostr Relays🧑💻
- Build out Raspberry Pi relays running Keet and Nostr relays via Umbrel or Start9
Also take this into consideration
- Place them in strategic locations globally/regionally, taking into account scaling and maintenance savings then cost.
P2P Chat🤝
They can be used for keet relays if you do have any
Install Keet on a Pi as a personal relay for events/meetups (https://docs.holepunch.to/guides/personal-keet-p2p-chat-relay) ↗)
Offer bursting capacity through Tor for increased privacy
🌐Expanding our P2P Horizon with PiVPN 🌐
By leveraging Raspberry Pis and VPN technology, we can enhance privacy and strengthen decentralization in exciting new ways. Considerable advantages of PiVPN deployment:
🥝Internet Freedom Portals
Set up Pi nodes running PiVPN in censorious regions to provide access to open web for locals
Custom firmware ensures stability and maximizes limited bandwidth resources
💿Private Peering Points
Connect Raspberry Pis globally so they can sync/share data like torrents, IPFS, Bitcoin nodes privately
Use WireGuard or OpenVPN for rapid, secure tunneling between p2p devices
💸Running Full Nodes Everywhere
Install Bitcoin/Electrum wallets to full nodes on Pis on trustworthy VPN
Extra bandwidth unused can be donated to help sync other full nodes worldwide
⚙️Infrastructure for Innovation
Additional resources enable experimentation with new p2p protocols and services
Future projects may include decentralized cloud services, live streaming and more!
Harnessing the power of portable Pis increases privacy and takes peer-powered systems beyond what's possible today. Exciting potential for distributed collaboration!

You should reach out to other contributors in the community to fund your project
By upgrading your internet infrastructure with lightning, Nostr and Keet, we can all better enable censorship resistance and promote peer-to-peer connectivity globally. Exciting times ahead!
⚖️Leveraging Bitcoin for Positive Change🌎
There is an opportunity to use the rise of digital hard money in a purposeful way to advance human rights in a compliant manner. Here are some suggestions:
💰Generating Resources Responsibly
Guide individuals and charities on ethically acquiring Bitcoin through approved platforms
Provide education on best practices for securely storing Bitcoin long-term without third party risks
🏦Pairing Philanthropy with Progress
Suggest fundraisers pair traditional donations with a voluntary Bitcoin component
Link donors with experts who ensure all transactions adhere to regulations for full transparency
✊Empowering Underserved Communities
Establish programs to convert percentage of generated wealth into initiatives like food/water projects
Partner organizations focus on creating sustainable solutions pairing local skills/resources with Bitcoin opportunities
🌐A More Just System Through Innovation
Advocate cross-border micropayment networks to facilitate global access to education and opportunity
Support pairing all property titles with a Bitcoin component to foster financial inclusion for all
By guiding ethical Bitcoin adoption, we have a chance not only to empower individuals, but align new technologies with building a more just world for future generations.
