Charon aims to make it easy to start reselling Internet access via WiFi access point.
Charon installs onto a Linksys WiFi access point (or similar Linux device) and manages automatic price and access negotiation with local wireless customers, charging them via the mikolaj.cx settlement/micropayment system.
It will ultimately provide secure and fraud-resistant access by utilizing cash-based settlement, reputation tracking, and PKI-based non-repudiable contracts, to protect both the end-user and the access provider.
