I've been carrying a T-1000e around for a month or so and its been a lot of fun seeing all the new node notifications pop up. It feels good to know that there are more of y'all out there.

Name your nodes though! I love seeing all you dorks with a sense of humor.

I don't think I'm up to 200 yet, but my favorite random node name I've come across so far was called "The Node Abides". Always appreciate a little random Lebowski in my life.

I've also got a T100e and really like it.

I've been carrying my own mesh device and in the 5 months I've had it hanging from my bag that goes everywhere..... 3 devices seen lol

Pretty sure one was in someone else's car on the highway since I've never found it again.

I'm in the greater Houston area so its a pretty large city. The Austin TX group is apparently even bigger. I did get someone flying over on a commercial flight once too which was cool.

Sadly, I just got mine and I'm all alone here. Might need to start taking it places with me and not just leave it at home plugged in.

I've driven through quite a few cities around southern Ohio, and around but not through Columbus

it's just not too popular where I tend to travel.

YET

I'm showing 850+, but I cheated a bit by taking it on an airplane.. many must have been hopping from ground to plane to plane, because I picked up 240 on the opposite side of the US (including 10 in maine, from a flight over Arizona).

In Sydney Australia you'll see 300 or so in about a day or two on meshcore. The mesh networks are growing quick!

Check that your area hasn't already moved to meshcore, pretty much everyone in Australia has

Im really considering flashing one of my trackers to meshcore to compare.

Go for it, flash it back if you don't like it

It scales much better than meshtastic here which is why everyone has moved over. Public chat is pretty busy
