🚀 TollGate pay-as-you-go internet access on open networks. Powered by Cashu. The TollGate WiFi-router runs a Nostr relay + clients for handling payments. The TollGate app pays for internet-access with eCash over nostr! The flow: - User taps connect (connect button will be automated) - Tollgate App suggests tollgates to connect to (Android notification) - User taps connect - User taps sign-in - The app handles payment and prevents captive portal from opening Unfortunately some Android OS level restrictions requires quite some taps to connect 😕.

This can be 100% automated on computers! Imagine opening up your laptop in any coffeeshop and you just have internet instantly!

Just casually paying for internet with offline magic cyberspace money, no big deal.

It's a project that turns any hackable router into a money-earning machine. Those routers will also be able to buy access from eachother (permissionless) and that way build out sovereign networks. There's no real difference between my phone buying access or another router doing it.

Amazing work! This creates a free market for telecommunications which means we’ll see even more innovation and investment in infrastructure. The dream: - install grapheneos + Nostr client + Breez/Zeus - top up Lightning and Cashu wallets - use tollgates - travel freely; no eSIM required The future is bright.

The mobile app that @Arjen and @Delcin made is a huge enabler for the user, because the user can now buy internet granularly and frequently, which means that they can roam between routers without losing any credit and without needing to interact with captive portals manually! This is a huge win! Thanks guys, your amazing 🧡🙏
