Hmm can you elaborate on that?

> Thunderbird is now part of MZLA Technologies Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mozilla Foundation

Are you saying that it technically lives under the Mozilla umbrella but they take a completely hands-off approach?

Is that not what Thunderbird is (amongst other things)?

Seems this is just for voice channels — SSTV channels have a bandwidth of 6MHz for example.

I'm not a ham, but wouldn't bandwidth be an issue? I was under the impression that channel widths in the amateur bands were pretty narrow (<10kHz). Though I don't know if that applies to all bands, or just HF.

I've been thinking about doing something in this space. What are the regulatory requirements (if any) for something like this (i.e. offering investing advice, but without direct management of a user's assets)?

Continuing here, since my OP was too long:

From my reading, it seems like Taler and the Lightning Network are the two most promising solutions. Taler seems to be very well-suited to micropayments, but is lacking adoption from banking institutions, which would be required for people to actually use it. Not to mention that there would need to be a standardised way to request that your bank exchange some of your balance for tokens to be deposited into your Taler wallet. Given that banks in the US still seem to lack a widely-adopted API like the European Open Banking initiative, this seems a long way off still. The Lightning Network seems promising, but I can't picture how the exchange of fiat / Bitcoin would work. Perhaps there may be a number of companies like Strike competing, with browsers giving the user a choice of which service to use, in the same way a user currently selects their search engine.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, that's the kind of thing, but understandably it also looks limited to Cisco employees.

Yep I'm in contact with someone at the company – hopefully they might be able to help.

I did try, but have yet to hear anything from them.
