As the network crypto mining landscape has evolved, thousands of LoRa-based mining devices sit unused in closets and drawers around the world. These once-coveted pieces of hardware—designed for LoRa-based cryptocurrency mining networks—represent both wasted resources and untapped potential. What if there was a way to repurpose this hardware for something genuinely useful?

These abandoned mining devices can be easily repurposed and transformed into powerful Meshtastic nodes, giving them a new life.

If your local Meshtastic network has grown beyond just a handful of nodes and you're starting to experience issues like delayed message delivery, network congestion, or inconsistent results, the problem might be your LoRa radio preset. Specifically, you may have outgrown the default preset: LongFast.

While LongFast is an excellent general-purpose preset for many users, it may not be the optimal choice for larger or denser meshes. In this post, we will explain why switching to higher bandwidth presets might significantly improve your network's performance.
