Hey, y'all.

I just purchased the recommended "Mikrotik RouterBOARD Metal 5SHPn wifi radio," and am seeking an antenna, but will likely be up and running soon.

I'm located at 66th and Sandy/Fremont area, and am interested in running a couple of experiments:

Set up a HAMWAN relay connection between here (my home) and where my mom lives (Ryderwood, WA)

Testing the mobile blockchain software my team created

I'm currently CTO for a company called Bitnation, and we've created (and continue to update) an Android/iOS app that provides decentralized blockchain-based economic services over secure and anonymous chat.

I'm pretty interested in pursing real experience in getting this to work over HAMWAN, to demonstrate that it would facilitate baseline communication and commerce in the aftermath of a natural disaster.

My goal is to help rural HAM radio people become the internet providers, if that makes any sense.

I've also invested in an AltheaMesh router, fyi.
