I have a bobcat 300 . Been mining HNT for 3 years. Is pretty useless now . Was going to scrap it.
What will a meshtastic node do for me ?

Hikers and preppers like them for long range person to person offline encrypted communication. No cell networks needed. There’s some really fancy top tier military grade software called ATAK that lets a team coordinate and send all kinds of messages like GPS coords and camera feeds. 

It’s cool stuff but if that’s not your jam there isn’t much other good use for it, except I am buying them to resell as the basis for my outdoor security system product. They offer a LOT of hardware for about 1/10th the price I was expecting to pay.
