hi Peter !

Sorry for sending to the list when I am confused. The link was sent under such conditions, as is this email.

I installed a device recently that hopes to perform proof of location (haven't checked if it's implemented, but it sends a lot of metadata).

I'm curious if you have opinions or values around proof-of-location; why do you say "Barf"?

'cos the paper is so bad it made me want to vomit

I glanced at the paper a little more and it doesn't seem bad in the writing to me, but it is barfy in that it is a medium article that looks like a paper, and it is from 2018. here are the links and papers from the image in it. helium's paper only fetched for me via cleartext HTTP. i had to find platin's paper on scribd as their domain expired years ago. https://www.foam.space/publicAssets/FOAM_Whitepaper.pdf http://whitepaper.helium.com/ https://platin.io/ -> https://scribd.com/document/404637122/Platin-Whitepaper-v2-1-pdf https://docs.xyo.network/XYO-White-Paper.pdf
