Testing Hard fork, 1.2..3…

Research Log (25th October)

. @helium, a decentralised network provider, has something called as Data Credits, spent by a device in the network to transfer data.

Helium has 2 types of networks:
- IoT (LoRaWAN radio protocol)
- Mobile (Cellular Network technology)

ai x hardware skunk-works with @waitin4agi_ (twitter); 

prev: cofounded a hw x iot company @noctolabs;

IC in BTC, ETH and SOL ecosystem (systems)

Each Data Credit (DC) sends 1 data packet across the network.

1 DC has it’s price capped at $0.00001 for both the networks, but have different packet sizes for each network.

- IoT : 1 DC -> 24-Bytes of data 
- Mobile : 1 DC -> 20,000 Bytes of data

- Can Helium nodes be re-utilised for providing a limited execution layer (eBPF with radio stack access) for running Low Power apps that can process radio data locally?

And introducing Compute Credits for the same!

Questions:

- Next radio stack could be NB-IoT? and LTE-M? Re-Uses dated cellular tech like 2g/3g/4g and now 5g/5gNR infra to operate.
