How much did the various "cube satellite" projects
cost to get payload space on the launch carrier?

Seems that cryptocurrency ancap folks are now
certainly able to buy space and launch an independent
uncensorable physical network of cubesats into space,
whether as transponders / repeaters for people
to simply bounce off of, or as a mesh of relay nodes
making up an actual network protocol.

The above general data transport is much different
and more advanced than what the Bitcoin-BTC folks are
doing with a simple uplink of a full node to a sat to
broadcast the blockchain down.

Crowdfund, crypto pay to access, distribute rotating
access keys on blockchain, or just leave open
to everyone for anonymous access limited only
by ability to learn and use GNURadio... a natural
free incentive toward many more people becoming
invloved with Guerilla radio comms, meshnets,
cryptocurrency, crypto, etc.

Of course some govts would try to knock them
down, physically, or via HERF...
