I agree with the author that this is a relatively interesting, or at least benign, use of crypto. But let's look at what this project seems to boil down to.<p>It's about you earning crypto by letting others use bandwidth provided to you by your ISP, which is typically against your ISP's ToS.<p>And it makes sense that this is against the ToS. You're basically setting up a mini-ISP on your ISP's pipes without compensating them any extra for the increased traffic.<p>This is just fancy mooching, and if it were to scale up, ISPs would surely crack down on it.<p>And if ISPs really wanted to leverage end user hotspots to expand access, they could probably just do it themselves.<p>Better crypto idea than average, but still seems unsustainable and Rube Goldberg, like other crypto schemes.
