Share WiFi with neighbours and the community. Get paid.Ammbr is a blockchain-based wireless mesh network that buys and sells Internet bandwidth autonomously, using the AMR cryptocurrency. Ammbr’s network can bring reliable Internet access to places that do not have it, without relying on legacy Internet service providers. http://ammbr.com/
Faster, cheaper, decentralized Internet: Althea enables routers to pay each other for bandwidth, making it easy for communities to set up networks which are faster and cheaper than the existing ISP monopolies. Learn more about our blockchain-powered router, the communities we’re working in, and our vision for an Internet that works for everyone below https://althea.org/ https://github.com/althea-mesh https://github.com/althea-mesh/althea-firmware Althea itself is an incentivized mesh system. This build system creates a firmware image preconfigured with Althea's fork of the Babeld mesh software as well as various utilities and tools to automatically pay mesh nodes for bandwidth. https://github.com/althea-mesh/althea_rs The only separated components are guac_rs which we want to be easily used externally as a Rust Payment channel light client, Clarity a lightweight transaction generation library for Ethereum- Rita: Accounts for bandwidth used and required payment: Has known bugs, Makes payments: Will mostly be contained in the Guac_rs repo
Althea allows routers to pay each other for bandwidth using cryptocurrency payment channels. An important architectural detail is that nodes only pay neighbors for forwarding packets. On top of this pay-for-forward network, we build a system allowing consumers to pay for internet access. Althea is intended to be used in local “mesh” (https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~vpk/papers/wcn.commag11.pdf) networks.
AMMBR uses a proprietary chip to replace PoW with the proof of Elapsed time (PoET). The PoET workflow implements a fair and random leader-election algorithm but seems to be depending on a centralized server that plays a key coordination role. While Althea already published a detailed white paper and some open source code, the details of AMMBR are still not public.

Changes to the Mesh Discovery Protocol
One of the biggest changes to the discovery protocol is that extra fields which provide pricing details from the Internet Sharing Devices (SELLERs) to the rest of the local mesh. This is set by users of the SELLER devices. The user simply opens the settings for the RightMesh service and sets the price. This has the effect of propagating this change to all devices in the local mesh. Similarly, potential BUYER devices can use the same settings interface to set the maximum rate they are willing to purchase data for.

MONET: Mobile Ad Hoc Blockchains https://monet.network https://github.com/mosaicnetworks MONET is an open network architecture for mobile blockchains on demand. A blockchain on demand means that participants of a certain activity can form a temporary network for the duration of their interaction without a need of any centralized third party. One of MONET’s distinctive traits is the ability to operate nodes on off-the-shelf mobile devices.Anyone can run a node, provided they have a connectable computing device with an application that uses a MONET-compatible consensus module. One such module is Babble; it was designed to work with any application, written in any programming language. Hence, we can provide SDKs for all mobile platforms (Android, iOS and Windows Phone). Most mobile devices are already capable of connecting to the Internet through cellular networks (3G, LTE, 4G, etc.) or Wi-Fi. They also have enough memory and processing power to support demanding software like feature-rich applications or the functionality presented in this paper for mobile ad hoc blockchains.

Blockchain in Internet of Things: Challenges and Solutions
XCurrency’s New Trustless Ad Hoc Mesh Network
Mesh and Blockchain: A Powerful Duo
Towards Blockchain-enabled Wireless Mesh Networks: Quick Mesh Project (qMp) provides a firmware based on OpenWrt Linux with the aim to ease the deployment of mesh networks by the users who are willing to interconnect in an area, and pool their Internet uplinks. qMp was initiated in 2011 by a few Guifi.net activists. We setup a blockchain testbed network comprising RPi3 boards, each running a component of Hyperledger Fabric (HLF) in the QMPSU network. The missing ingredient for widespread adoption of CMNs has always been the issue of economic sustainability. In this paper, we take on the issue of addressing trustworthy economic sustainability by proposing the need for an economic substrate built using blockchain that can keep a record of the transactions related to the contributions (of nodes, links, Internet gateways, maintenance) and consumption of communication network’s resources in a decentralized and trusted manner. http://qmp.cat/Overview http://guifi.net

A Comparative Study of Ad Hoc & Peer to Peer Networks
1)Decentralised architectures: In both network types, the network architecture is inherently decentralised in nature.
2)Transient connectivity: The connectivity of nodes or peers in Ad Hoc or P2P networks respectively, is transient. In Ad Hoc networks, this is due to node mobility. In current P2P networks, this is primarily due to the lack of permanent Internet connectivity or a static IP address, at most peers.
3)Heterogeneity of resources: The resources available to nodes or peers are not equal. Several different electronic devices, such as a laptop, mobile phone or PDA, may form part of an Ad Hoc network. All of these devices typically have differences in computational power, storage capacity and battery life. Similarly, computers running the same P2P application may vary significantly in specification.
the following differences should also be noted
1)Network size: Ad Hoc networks are generally limited to a few hundred nodes in size, since scalability is limited due to resource constraints. In contrast, current P2P networks run over the Internet and therefore, potentially have to scale so as to accommodate several millions of peers.
2)Relevance in Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model: Current research and development in the field of Ad Hoc networking is focused on the lower three layers of the OSI model; the network layer in particular. Conversely, research and development in P2P networking is presently concerned with application layer P2P overlay networks. Therefore, the top three layers of the OSI model are relevant in P2P networking. In summary Ad Hoc networking generally deals with application independent network issues, whilst P2P networking generally deals with application-oriented network issues.
As can be expected, most of the aspects are present in both network types and therefore, are related directly. An exception to this is the sub-aspect of non-neighbouring node discovery in Ad Hoc networks that is in actual fact performed with the use of routing protocols and hence, dealt with under the aspect of routing. Secondly, the sub-aspects of content dissemination, user identification, content identification, and free riding in P2P networks have no equivalent in Ad Hoc networks. Regardless, they have been included in this comparative study due to the relevance they may gain in Ad Hoc networking in the future.
created a blockchain enabled marketplace on top of an ad-hoc network
The common ground of both projects is the creation of a distributed marketplace to incentive participation and competition among those who want to act as service providers. To this end, they prompt microtransactions in cryptocurrency either to finance local services or to pay for Internet access.
AMMBR and Althea introduce blockchains and transactions to foster an in-network marketplace.激励层 in a multi-hop ad-hoc network in which each node pays for the access and may even resell it to some other neighbor. Such a system requires fast micro transactions without fees to take place between people that do not trust each other, and a cryptocurrency fit for the purpose. The blockchain, in the model described so far, is just an enabler of transactions, and it can reside outside the network itself. Proof of Networking (PoN). If we take for instance a link-state routing protocol, it distributes information so that all nodes share the same view of the network graph. Consider a mesh network, in which node A uses a linkstate protocol with embedded cryptographic signatures, on the model of Secure-OLSR.
