Thanks for the reply.  

Not sure about Kagi, but I'll look.   Honestly, my main concern was how
to make money over wireless safe.  Paypal _seems_ more safe than some
type of credit card merchant thing.  It's also pretty quick to set up. 
But I'm not sure about security.  Expert opinion appreciated.  

You're right, I don't know if it's meant to be public (so I didn't post
the name here). It further builds the case. If someone opens a laptop
in the park outside my building, they'll see four nodes, three private
and mine. Which one should they use?  Well, all they have is the ESSID.
 So right now my ESSID is "nycwireless (www.sidewayzen.com)".  I think
that's enough to clue people in. We as community wireless folks really
need to make our node stand out as "open".

Ideally, it'd be nice if access points could provide clients a full
profile (not just an ESSID). NodeDB.com offers a profile online but you
have to remember to check there (Maybe "Joe's Node (Check NodeDB.com
for info)").  Not as simple as just the sitename, but if you don't have
a website, it'll do the job.

Comments welcome. 

Rob
