There wasn’t anything confrontational in the responses of two people who were in at the start of TTN, one doing LoRa before LoRaWAN was invented. You got the very best technical feedback you could possibly imagine. If you don’t like the technical info provided, ask yourself if that’s not an emotional reaction to being told your idea isn’t such a good one, rather than moving forward, reviewing the information, do more research and form a counter argument based on more technical info.

The forum may be quiet, but TTN is processing packets at the rate of 1,300 messages per second, which after rejecting packets that aren’t for the network and deduplication, results in 270 msg/s being passed on.

We get TTN for free so its good to minimise the server workload, something your solution could potential increase but not something you can see. And if everyone took up the idea, it can get really messy really quickly.

It’s hard to characterise the issue of breaching radio limits - it’s the gateway that could be doing it but it’s the responsibility of its owner to ensure it doesn’t. No one accused you of being a serious criminal, think more setting yourself up for going 5km/h over the speed limit.

Given two world class subject matter experts have told you what they think, if your gateway does attract some interest from the local authorities, Google will highlight any defence you make rather moot.
