I wanted these to exist so badly, it was a fun and quirky concept, but people kept bashing it online as the stupidest idea ever, and the few dead drops that existed in my city routinely got destroyed.

I also built my own PirateBox too, but the only thing that was ever uploaded to it was a creepshot of me and my PirateBox. Turns out when Public Wi-Fi exists, they're actively ignored.

Oh that is creepy. I went to coffee shops with mine because I figured those were the only places anyone would notice it and possibly connect. I had a few random pictures, chats, and a Death Grips video uploaded to mine.

The dead drop website had a map but I was never anywhere near any. That sucks that people destroyed them. It's a dangerous idea, but a cheap used laptop specifically for it could be fun, but yeah, not enough people would ever do that to make it worthwhile.
