There's a radio in your pocket that hears Bluetooth packets all day: trackers, sensors, beacons. Your phone typically discards every one of them. I built EE Gateway to forward them instead.
Open BLE networks need ground coverage the way AirTags need iPhones. Think like a mini cell tower in your pocket - where each phone provides about 100 meters coverage. Your phone can now earn Sats for relaying BLE packets.
How it works
- Your phone (or Umbrel node) scans for BLE broadcasts. Receive-only, it never transmits.
- 1 sat per unique device identifier (they're ephemeral IDs) per UTC day, paid to the first gateway to forward it.
- Settlement runs daily over Lightning to your address.
The honest caveats, before anyone asks...
- Earnings track BLE density near you. Logistics corridors are busy, residential streets mostly aren't, and you won't know until you field test. Nobody's getting rich on this today.
- Pending sats are held custodially until your total clears 1,000 sats, then they land at your Lightning address.
- Every packet carries the GPS fix age and accuracy it was heard with. A phone without a fresh fix drops the packet, so the coverage data stays honest.
The Umbrel/Raspberry Pi version is open source (GPL-3.0).
The ask: run it for a few days and tell me what you think.
