I'm interested in this project, but I am unsure if there's anything actually useful or fun you can do with it.

So tell me about the fun stuff you've built!

I'm also wondering. Do you just randomly chat up strangers? Is that a viable use?

All YouTube videos I saw had completely empty chats where only the two nodes the person had next to each other actually received any messages and the nodes did not find any other nodes except each other.

This kinda took away my motivation to buy any.

They didn’t find any nodes, yet. Somebody has to start, by expanding the reach of a current network, or starting one in a more empty area.

If the tech behind this interests you, and you have some discretionary budget, I say do it anyway. You get a new toy, new knowledge, and now the best part:

The next guy who gets discouraged by the idea of no connections, has a connection. Now there’s two nodes.
