Imagine an early 2000s car running on an electric motor. That’s what I want.

Step one: Buy 2000s car.
Step two: Converted it to EV.
Step three: Done!

There are business made on this promise with more or less benefits of economies of scale.

You can find videos how people do it on YouTube.

Consider this:

• someone forks the project and doesn’t respect the license
• extends functionality to make the data gathering decentralized/centralized
• they make a product and rake serious cash
• you are pennyless
• privacy is violated even more

I see only too options:

1. walk away as this is lost battle
2. make the data open source so anyone can acces it.

there is no moral high ground in this project.
