There is no unstoppable tech, it's usually 100x cheaper to destroy than to build (a defining trait of our ever changing universe).
That said, I find FreakWAN [1] (from the creator of Redis) a very interesting low-cost, low-powered communication protocol that can go VERY far[2]
What great news! The support for the sx1276 is awful. I was digging around your github, you're referring to Freakwan[1], right?
