 +  * There was interest in a discussion about mesh networking, so demo-ing an Enigmabox would be worthwhile. PirateBox, too? During the discussion, we talked about whether a cryptocurrency would be useful to incentivize hosting nodes / file sharing on the network. Someone specifically mentioned an Initial Coin Offering to build equity. Am not an expert in this area so I don't know whether it's at all feasible. Made for good discussion at the time!
 +
 +  * We also discussed two apps that are trying to address the injustices of people sitting in jail because they are too poor to pay cash bail (something like 700,000 people at any given moment in America). Apps like [[https://thenewinquiry.com/bail-bloc/|BailBloc]] and [[https://appolition.us/|Appolition]] are trying to generate money for community bail funds.
