Bytes, electricity, water and FREE beer!🍺 Free as in freedom, ofcourse... We've learned so much in the last year or so about networks, micropayments and what TollGate fundamentally IS. Part of that journey has been that TollGate can be used for anything that streams, not just bytes. And it also led us to the creation of FIPS, which is an important part of our redesign. We now have a way more modular approach that can fit different setups, centered around one TollGate protocol for streaming value for delivery of a resource. Please join our Community call to hear more about it! 🇳🇱 We'll also be running a fleet of TollGates at @Bitcoin Amsterdam in a few weeks!

TollGate

Next Community Call: Wednesday, October 21! Join us for our monthly community call to discuss the latest developments in the TollGate project and the future of decentralized internet access. This is a great opportunity to connect with the core team and other community members, ask questions, and share your ideas. Date: Wednesday, October 21, 2026 Time: - Eastcoast USA: 8:00 am (08:00) - Europe CEST: 2:00 pm (14:00) - Cobrador Island (Shanghai): 8:00 pm (20:00) What we have been up to: - The Go backend (tollgate-module-basic-go) has a v0.6.0 pre-release out: https://github.com/FreedomTechFeed/packages/releases/tag/v0.6.0-rc6 - Getting routers ready: conwrt flashes OpenWrt onto routers. It uses AI to work out how to flash a new model, then flashes that model automatically from then on. tollgate-installer is a desktop wizard that finds routers on your LAN and installs TollGate on them. https://github.com/Amperstrand/conwrt , https://github.com/OpenTollGate/tollgate-installer - Test automation: one framework runs our TollGate backends (Go and Rust) against physical routers, local QEMU VMs or cloud VMs. https://github.com/OpenTollGate/physical-router-test-automation - tollgate-rs v0.1.0-rc.2 is out. It's a Rust rewrite that builds in everything we've learned so far. It can sell anything that streams, not only bandwidth, and it's built FIPS-first. - tollgate-suite-wrt v0.1.0-rc.2 is one way to deploy TollGate: the full stack packaged for OpenWrt routers, with a captive portal and Lightning payments. - tollgate-fleet is another way to deploy TollGate. It runs many OpenWrt routers as one network, bridged over FIPS to a single gateway. Phones pay once and keep their session as they roam from router to router. We will be discussing: - From router to TollGate: flashing, installing and testing. - tollgate-rs and the road to v0.1.0. - Ways to deploy TollGate: suite and fleet. - Community contributions and how to get involved. - Open Q&A session at the end.

🔴 I highly recommend learning about Islam... 🔵 There is no salvation in the afterlife except by following Islam ⚠️ God has said in the Quran: 🔵 { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 ) 🔴 [He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 ) 🔵 And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 ) 🔴 But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 ) 🔵 And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 )} ⚠️ Quran

A skew worth watching when you cap relays by coverage: in a pull on follower lists, one relay alone delivered 82 of the 85 accounts. Several of the others returned nothing at all. That makes 30 generous for the median user and blind for the tail, because the accounts parked on a small self-hosted relay are exactly the ones you cannot find. Your figure also leaves out the outbox fetch, so compare it against a cold start with those 5-8 seconds added. At 80 the cost is not just bandwidth. Wall-clock time gets eaten by the slowest relay timing out, so I would sort by last response time, drop the ones that never answered, and keep the cap dynamic.
