 Mesh networks are useful as a quick way to make a fully decentralised communications system which is not connected to or reliant upon the internet. Think festivals, hacker conferences, onboard ships at sea, disaster/war zones, small business internal office communications, protests, remote areas of the world, temporary "digital blackouts", scientific expeditions and off-world space colonies. The down side is that you can't access any internet content. The upside is that you can securely communicate with anyone on the local mesh. No ISPs. No payments or subscriptions beyond the cost of obtaining the hardware. Systems need to be within wifi range of each other for the mesh to be created. It can be an ultra-convenient way to do purely local communications.

+The Freedombone mesh roughly follows MondoNet's ten social specifications:
30 
+
31 
+ - *Decentralization*: The network cannot be consolodated or monopolized by design
32 
+ - *Accessibility*: low cost, freely downloadable, works on existing hardware, minimal learning curve
33 
+ - *Resistance*: to censorship
34 
+ - *Enables privacy*
35 
+ - *Secure*: against malicious attacks and also secure in terms of being reliable
36 
+ - *Scalable*: works for ten users or ten million
37 
+ - *Permanent*: even if users enter or exit the network remains viable
38 
+ - *Fast enough*: for at least "minimal participation in the political process". Enabling social uses like chat and VoIP
39 
+ - *Independence*: If every other network fails this system should still be usable
40 
+ - *Evolvable*: Software is open and modifiable over time as protocols change

 There may be situations where you need to write the same disk image to multiple drives at the same time in order to maximize rate of deployment. In the instructions given below the <b>dd</b> command is used for writing to the target drive, but to write to multiple drives you can use a tool such as <a href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/MultiWriter">GNOME MultiWriter</a>.

 Routers are intended to build network coverage for an area using small and low cost hardware. You can bolt them to walls or leave them on window ledges. They don't have any user interface and their only job is to haul network traffic across the mesh and to enable peers to find each other via running bootstrap nodes for Tox and IPFS. Copy the image to a microSD card and insert it into the router, plug in an Atheros wifi dongle and power on. That should be all you need to do.

 It's better not to trust images downloaded from random places on the interwebs. Chances are that unless you are in the web of trust of the above GPG signatures then they don't mean very much to you. If you actually want something trustworthy then build the images from scratch. It will take some time. Here's how to do it.

 When you first boot from the USB drive the system will create some encryption keys, assign a unique network address to the system and then reboot itself. When that's done you should see a prompt asking for a username. This username just makes it easy for others to initially find you on the mesh and will appear in the list of users.

 On the ordinary internet the date and time of your system would be set automatically via NTP. But this is not the internet and so you will need to manually ensure that your date and time settings are correct. You might need to periodically do this if your clock drifts. It's not essential that the time on your system be highly accurate, but if it drifts too far or goes back to epoch then things could become a little confusing in regard to the order of blog posts.

 Ensure that you're within wifi range of at least one other mesh peer (could be a router or client) and then you should see that the <i>Chat</i> and <i>Other Users</i> icons appear. Select the users icon and you should see a list of users on the mesh. Select the <i>Chat</i> icon and once you are connected you should see the status light turn green. If after a few minutes you don't get the green status light then try closing and re-opening the Tox chat application. Select the plus button to add a friend and then copy and paste in a Tox ID from the users list.
