The post starts by introducing two people (one in a boat in the ocean and another in the mountains in Hawaii) and states that they are communicating to each other. I thought this post was about some new long-range wireless protocol that sync'd via satellites or some such. I was disappointed to see this:
> Every time two Scuttlebutt friends connect to the same WiFi, their computers will synchronize the latest messages in their diaries.
Ultimately this technology seems to be a decentralized, signed messaging system. What problem are they solving? That facebook and twitter can delete and alter your messages?
Meanwhile I'm in search of a long-range, wireless communication system that can function like a network without the need of an ISP. Anyone know anything about this?
