After that we can evaluate whether we want to keep offering something similar. + +A $40 reward will be paid to anyone who installs a mesh node that meets the following criteria: +* The node should be in the the Port neighborhood of Cambridge (And the location of the node must be consented to by us, the core team.) +* The node must be wirelessly connected to one or more other nodes +* The node owner must agree to keep the node up for at least one year. Ideally, they would intend to keep it up permanently. +* The node must be "cost-covered." Mass Mesh will not pay out of pocket for nodes eligible for this incentive. +* Node reachability will be checked automatically; the installation will become eligible for payment when the node reaches 95% uptime over 30 calendar days. + +Interested installers should reach out to info@massmesh.org
