Create a PoC node for trading off bandwidth restricted devices that cares less about metadata protection.
Rationale:
A large subset of users care a lot more about bandwidth usage than metadata protection
to the extent that few core contributors use Status on a daily basis
privacy guarantees of Whisper are spotty at best
