Starlink isn't viable in many places- either due to cost or regulatory blocks. Mesh-to-Miami is a smarter alternative for getting periodic syncs or gossip updates without full internet access. And adding an ecash mint as a backup makes the whole setup even more resilient. With something like LNbits managing both LN and ecash, you've got local payments covered even when the uplink drops.
Is the mesh to Florida already happening? That's pretty cool. Also I wonder if tourists in Varadero actually have some better connection that they could mesh around the island.
