Yeah, i am aware of what piratebox is designed to do, an offline mini network. What i was meaning was to maybe use piratebox(s) to help spread info/videos around without the internet as its being partly blocked. That Scuttlebutt looks interesting, i never heard about it before, an online/offline platform with a messaging app and other apps Thats a good idea. in 2011(?) I heard about some ISPby foodismedicine - PirateBox (General)
I heard in the news that IRAN is either shutting down or blocking certain parts of the internet inside the country, and some other country in Africa during an election is also looking at what IRAN is doing.

Here is another super mini one: VoCore is an open hardware runs OpenWrt. It has WIFI, USB, UART, 20+ GPIOs but size is only one square inch. It helps you make a smart house, study embedded system or even make the tiniest router on the earth. Tiny Size: One square inch, easy to embed to devices. OpenWrt: Easy to code, compile; stable system. Low Cost: $20 for each, unmatched performancby foodismedicine - PirateBoxes on OpenWrt - unsupported
How about adding a Shopping cart to this site for users who aren't into IT to buy Pirateboxes? And help for funding.by foodismedicine - PirateBox (General)

Has anyone tried a piratebox stuck to a drone, flying it around with it? Fly it high, and push the wifi signal much more....by foodismedicine - PirateBox (General)
Hi, I just made one of these devices, and it's cool! Everything just works. You guys are a Genius I did have some trouble trying to Telnet into it, as i was forced to use M$ CMD to Telnet, then PUTTY for SSH. Anyway, does this current version have BATMAN Protocol installed by default? Or do you have details on how to get it working? Thanksby foodismedicine - PirateBox (General)
