I've been seeing news about the Helium network for quite a while now and have been curious about it. However, it has been near-impossible to find information on it that isn't either crypto-hypeman speak or "lol crypto LMAO". Not a big fan of crypto myself - just interested in the prospect of contributing to a large-scale infrastructure or computing project. Any recommendations for similar things, or in this 'genre', I suppose?

I think nostr is the better decentralised social media technology, but I fear you might feel left out by the people that frequent it (as they would here).
