### Encouraging Node Administrators to Deploy in Unconventional Network Environments
To motivate node administrators to establish nodes in unconventional network environments such as satellite internet, intranets, Wi-Fi APNs, LoRa, or domestic long-range Wi-Fi, a mix of technological and incentive-based strategies is crucial. Below are detailed ideas for achieving this:
---
### **1. Economic Incentives**
- **Higher Rewards for Non-Standard Connectivity**: Nodes connected via satellite internet, LoRa, APN, or similar technologies can earn increased rewards for routing traffic. Introducing reward multipliers based on the complexity of the setup can encourage participation.
- **Example**: Satellite internet: +50%, LoRa: +100%.
- **Bonuses for Unique Routes**: Administrators offering access to isolated networks (e.g., corporate intranets, remote areas) receive additional payments for network expansion.
---
### **2. Technical Advantages**
- **Adaptive Routing**: Implement mechanisms to identify nodes with non-standard connectivity and prioritize them for specific traffic types, such as IoT or remote operations.
- **Protocol Integration**: Simplify the setup process for unconventional nodes by providing ready-made modules and scripts.
- Pre-configured modules for LoRaWAN.
- Scripts for satellite internet or Wi-Fi APN configuration.
---
### **3. Grants and Sponsorships**
- **Innovation Node Fund**: Establish a pool of funds (e.g., through a DAO) to reward administrators developing nodes in unconventional environments. Grants could target:
- LoRa connections.
- Deployments in remote or isolated regions.
- **Partnerships**: Collaborate with satellite internet providers, LoRa equipment manufacturers, and similar entities to offer discounts or subsidies for node administrators.
---
### **4. Gamification and Reputation**
- **Reputation System**: Nodes earn ratings for connecting to unique networks. High-rated administrators can compete in contests or receive extra rewards.
- **Example**: "Node of the Month" for LoRa or satellite coverage.
- **NFT Badges or Rewards**: Administrators who deploy nodes in challenging environments, such as satellite internet, receive rare NFTs as recognition.
---
### **5. Community and Education**
- **Resources and Documentation**: Provide comprehensive guides and tools for deploying nodes in unconventional networks. Examples:
- A guide for LoRaWAN node setup with code examples.
- Documentation on configuring satellite internet via Starlink or Inmarsat.
- **Hackathons**: Host events where participants compete to create nodes in unique environments, with rewards for the best solutions.
---
### **6. Technical Support Examples**
#### **LoRaWAN**
1. Setting up a LoRa gateway:
```bash
# Install ChirpStack for managing LoRaWAN devices
docker-compose up chirpstack-network-server
```
2. Integrating with Yggdrasil:
- Link the LoRa gateway to Yggdrasil through tunneling.
#### **Satellite Internet**
1. Connecting via Starlink:
```bash
ip route add 200::/7 via <IP_GATEWAY>
```
2. Prioritizing satellite traffic:
- Use QoS to manage delays.
#### **Wi-Fi APN**
1. Connecting to a local network:
```bash
nmcli dev wifi connect "<SSID>" password "<PASSWORD>"
```
---
### **7. Cultural and Social Impact**
- **Mission Statement**: Promote the idea that connecting isolated or unconventional networks helps decentralize the internet and benefits the global community.
- Example slogan: "Connecting the world, from cities to the most remote corners."
- **Success Stories**: Share examples of successful deployments, such as a LoRa node providing connectivity in a remote village.
---
### **Conclusion**
Creating an ecosystem where unconventional nodes are seen as valuable contributions requires a combination of economic, social, and technical incentives. With a strategic approach, administrators will be encouraged to bridge the gap between traditional and unconventional networks, enriching the overall network infrastructure.
