So all we need is BM to combine BTSX, Storj, Maidsafe and Firechat into a global meshnet protocol that can connect any Bluetooth/WiFi device.
Throw in DAC to operate/maintain a bunch of those Facebook sub-orbital drones and/or microsats for continental inter-connectivity.
I mean really, what's he going to do with all the spare time once Bitshares is off and running?
Ha! It actually may be quite a bit simpler than that. There are opensource wifi meshnet implementations for sharing internet connections already and there are opensource router firmware packages for customizing popular routers already. So here are some straightforward steps to get the project going:
1) Integrate BTSX payments into existing opensource implementation of internet sharing wifi meshnet (this is the hardest step as it requires considerable thought and experimentation regarding network performance and incentives)
2) Integrate that implementation of meshnet+BTSX into existing opensource implementation of router firmware
3) Sell router as one step plug and play package for connecting to the meshnet, advertise, form business partnerships, etc (can probably get this kickstarted or VC funded)
extra credit:
4) Port the opensource wifi meshnet from step 1 to smartphone apps so you can also connect to the meshnet from Android and iOS (PCs are already supported by opensource meshnet implementations).
For step 3 I image that you might pick one tech literate city and advertise the hell out of it to get a critical mass going. Once it's up and working in one big city it will spread like wildfire to the rest of the world.
Bitcoin is still looking for its "killer app" to propel it into the mainstream.
If ever there was a killer app for BTSX, this could be it. It could take BTSX to full blown mainstream adoption in a matter of a few years. With *transactional* demand driving the price of BTSX (instead of speculation which currently drives the volume of all cryptocoins) it would have unparalleled investment legitimacy, and that could lead to very rapid adoption throughout the world economy.
