Zusammenfassung:	A long-range payment network uses a mesh network that includes a plurality of mobile devices that communicate with each other via a low energy network protocol. The mobile devices comprise an app that determines a fewest number of hops in the network to reach a long-range gateway and routes payment information through the mesh network along a path that minimizes the number of hops. Relay nodes may be used to connect the mesh network with the long-range gateway. Payment transactions may be initiated by the payee customer using a mobile device with a payment app or by a merchant using a point of sale application. Decentralized nodes may be used to verify payments.
