bitchat 1.2.0 (purple) shipping to testflight tonight. this enables mutual favorites to automatically switch to a nostr-based transport when one of them leaves the mesh. only for private messages for now using NIP-17. basically people can bitchat in person, favorite each other at that time, and then can continue the conversation if internet is available through nostr, from any distance. no need to input a npub or know anything about nostr. it just works.

A lot of recent sentiment from really smart people has been: the first big Nostr app will look totally different from what's out there now. I think Bitchat is that app.

Thx, I didn't know that one. Still it is yet another "buy my token scheme". We do not need that. You can do it on Bitcoin directly. Send regular a tx with one extra output with a less than 80bytes op_return. That contains the hash Id of a registration. Registrationss are kept track on a side chain. Each registration holds one or more claims. Each claim assigns a too level domain.tld to one or more holder key ids (public key hashes) and an optional signature, requited to prove ownership for claims that change already owned domains. Once the bitcoin block holding the tx that confirms the registration is confirmed, so is that entry on the mempool of the registration protocol. This provides source of truth for both domains and TLS certificates, which must both be signed by one of the domain owner keys to be valid.
Thats going to make it significantly more useful already. But what is missing at least from 0.8 is a way for me to actually use it. Nobody near me is going to have that so it would be nice to have a notification if it manages to connect. Because theres no way this will be a use to me at home outside of emergencies. But it would be fun during travel to more dense areas as there it may pop up. But it I actively need the app open I wont nptice.
This is golden! πŸ†

Id still want to verify myself, but would be cool if you could touch 2 phones together for private message part and somehow the phones would highlight the encryption keys on each phone w matching letters, if not a match on both phones then no highlight.
Bitchat has surpassed Signal in the Top Free Apps list ranking under the social networking category on Apple app store. It's going have Nostr integrated into it very soon. Have a great day! image

Bitcoin is a very high-risk investment because it's a volatile asset. That means that Bitcoin values may rise or fall dramatically in value over a very short period_ even as quickly as a few hours or days. Like all cryptocurrencies and a good mentor will guide you through this though period to make even with the current drop in cryptocurrencies, I still thank you for the balance financial advice. I started investing in stocks and cryptocurrencies with $1,000 and since I've been following you already! Lol jobless claims up all the right things that show higher rates are doing the job and the market goes up inflation with the best way to find the balance between saving.
