I second Althea and agree that Helium, at $495 per device, is much too expensive and the production of the device I believe is centralized. Although ironically the cost to build a backhaul with Althea can also be quite expensive, but at least it is device independent.

You can run an althea node with a cheap $15 chinese router. Minimum requirements are 128mb ram and 16mb storage.

My use of that as an example was not an endorsement of the project as much as to highlight what is taking place.

Thank you @hueso, for the link to the althea project. It is great to see there are multiple ones going on at the same time. It only makes sense since we live in a copycat world.

I will have to take a look at it.

I understand that the point was to show the power of DAOs but be ware that in doing so you may be promoting scams that, as you say, are copycats that piggyback on the excitement and real work of others and join the bandwagon with their bullshit ICOs. Another example of those is https://www.skycoin.com/skywire/
