🍄 Become a Spore

You are not a user.
You are a node.

The mycelium doesn't have a centre. It has nodes.
Each one feeds and is fed by the others.
Chris doesn't scale. The spores do.

You found this because someone carried it. Now you can carry it too. The entire basecamp lives on a thumb drive or SD card smaller than your thumbnail. It works with no internet. It costs nothing to replicate.

All you need is a phone with a hotspot, a USB drive or SD card (4GB is plenty), and the files from this basecamp. Name the network FeelFamous and walk into a crowd.

📶 Your network name
FeelFamous
When people connect, they arrive here. That's it. That's the whole system.

How to become a node (3 steps)

01

Get the files

Ask the person who shared this with you for the USB drive or QR code, or download the basecamp from feelfamous.com/basecamp when you have internet.

02

Set up your hotspot

On iPhone: Settings → Personal Hotspot → name it FeelFamous. On Android: Settings → Connections → Mobile Hotspot → rename it FeelFamous. Plug in the USB drive with the files.

03

Walk into a crowd

Switch it on. People nearby see "FeelFamous" WiFi. They connect. They arrive here. The mycelium spreads. You're a node now.

"The internet was supposed to be decentralised. We let it get centralised. We can route around that — one node at a time."
