the retards behind that project are going to accidentally luck into become the dominant LoRa network, and actaully make it work
most of these hardware crypto scams
ended up at least breaking even
Iirc this thing farms atmospheric data and gives a kickback in crypto
not the worst idea since that data is useful
That's a different thing Pika, but yeah the atmospheric data one had some real value
the one on his flagpole is a Helium network antenna
oh mb
the concept is to build out a peer-to-peer LoRaWAN network, and pay people in crypto for mantaining their piece of the network based on use
The Helium network is then essentially portioned and sold to telecom companies, to provide that additional coverage as a part of their network
the abstract idea being, stick an antenna on your roof or in your attic, and indirectly get paid by AT&T for them leasing the tiny amount of network coverage you provide
in addition to LoRa, they also do 5G now too
the project has been pretty severely mismanaged though, a new team is trying to turn it around but it's a shame they wasted the opportunity they had
Replying to 🐝🌯🌯🌯💥 #march.7th @Spooky Phijkchu xbrox’s house comes tomorrow
I'm genuinely excited to see the progress pics
what kind of gay shit is that
They should have to do what the stores near me have to do, if they advertise the price wrong, and then try to make you pay more, they have to give you the advertised price - 10 dollars
but only if you point out they fucked up and that it is their policy to do that
I feel like you could email them back or call them ,and get them to release the hold
600 off the item is still pretty good considering the price
I mean compared to 50 bucks its shit
idk if Canada does this Pika
but the sale prices in the US are all fake now
that is illegal in Canada
so no
"sale" prices are just the normal price
Costco is hit-or-miss
but that shed (while really fucking nice) is probably $600-$800 of actual value for the kit
I see
nevermind then
I feel like you can still, yeah
they already have it queued to ship
I'd assume whatever woman runs their customer support line you end up calling/emailing, probably wants to make the sale
or feel like she made a sale
pr much lol
"I'm a longstanding costco customer, I made preparations and began laying a foundation for the shed already. blah blah blah, the best I can do is $400"

I spent the last 5 hours talking to the literal incarnation of Satan
I'll give the full story some other time in VC
But @Phijkchu_Pikachu, this might be a situation where Josh would have literally jumped across the table and tried to stab him
lmao
He tried to hire drone girl for his PPS
Which she didn't know how to respond to, so she just left
He invited us all out to dinner afterwards, and of the 20 of us only one guy (21 year old new guy ) is going I think
