Maybe I should explore integrating P2P mesh with Nostr in 0xchat lite, so that even without internet access, you could still use the mesh network for Nostr MLS chats to protect your privacy. It would be similar to what samiz does, but different in that you wouldn’t need to broadcast your notes to relays— MLS chat messages would stay locally encrypted and wouldn’t go through any network at all.
It would be really cool if the #bitchat protocol could interoperate with Nostr!
