I just had a word with the president of the Barrie Amateur Radio Club. They are open to receiving assistance with accepting Bitcoin (and possibly others) in order to accept it as payment for membership. Once the Barrie CryptoMall opens, we will have our first business!

You might want to talk to them about implementing protocols for transmitting CGB (and others) via Ham radio frequencies. Keep in mind that ham communications are worldwide and designed to be used in the event of local or, global failure of other communication systems. Devs could get together with them to create a special wallet that would easily integrate with their systems. This would be a real first and easily taken up by the millions of Hams throughout the world. Talk about innovation...
The thought crossed our minds! After all, it is possible to get a standard IP link running over ham radio. This is just another channel for real world adoption that we would love to explore. I have floated the idea of a digital modes special interest group within the club, and this would be right up that alley. I can already see a lightweight (partial blockchain) client excelling in certain use cases here. It's a function we have had our eyes on for quite some time.
I'd also like to note, there is no minimum requirement for a CryptoMall to function. Simply an online directory would qualify. When we get you back online full time, you can dedicate yourself better as a consultant.
