This is great! Ever heard of LoRa radio and/or meshtastic? Bitchat's protocol looks vastly superior, especially because of cache/announce/tx by design - really cool. Unfortunately meshtastic is too tied to mqtt but even still, there are huge meshes running worldwide. Would be cool to have this working over LoRa just for the kicks

does something happen? other than you imbedding in my cellphone, probably? fucking hacker.

Working 20m distance

Sounds like Bridgefy and Meshtatstic and some other apps like LINE Beacon.

NGL I read that as "bitch at"😅

Title: Let a nostr client act as a personal relay to inject its timeline into the local mesh chat group. As a nostr user connected to a Bluetooth mesh network, I want to use my own private key to log in and push my home timeline (e.g., from Damus or any nostr client) into the local mesh chat group, So that I can share my worldview and feed with nearby users, without overloading the mesh with a full relay architecture. we should allow each user to act as a selective source, pushing their own curated timeline (their view of the world) into the local mesh group. This aligns with the idea of decentralized, personal storytelling — each node tells its own story, rather than rebroadcasting the entire network.

perfect for those on a houseboat at sea :)

Bitch at?

@Samiz @KoalaSat

Great you are working on a fully resilient, redundant, & truly censorship-resistant information- & communication system rooted in Bitcoin, but tragically most Bitcoiners - including yourself - have been miracleously ignoring the fact that Earth's magnetic field has been weakening at least 5% per decades and that another "Carrington" event (1850 approx.) will have catastrophic effects (= destruction of ALL information - & grid- & communication systems for a very very very long time). Due to the extremely weakened magnetic field of Earth, planet Earth & humanity in tolalitity are exponentially more vulnerable. By the way, that just the first phase within the next years to come...I am not even talking about the overdue magnetic pole shift between 2030-2050,...if we are lucky.

Got a linux desktop version?

There is Bitcoiners using bluetooth on their phones? wow.

I tried it with my team during a concert with 6,000 people at the Circus Maximus in Rome, where usually there’s no phone signal, and it worked perfectly!!! View quoted note →

잭돌싀가 재밌는걸 만들어 놨네요! - 블루투스 메쉬망 P2P 메세징앱 (향후) Nostr를 지원하게 되면 평소에도 충분히 사용할 수 있을듯?! (희박) 아이폰에는 바로 설치가 됩니다! 어쩌다 신호 잡히면 너무 반가울듯 View quoted note →

This would be great to test at the next nostr gathering

I think u should change the name

Awesome to see you building!

A Bitching BitchX style iRC client called BitchAt. Nice Can we get a /nick or /n username command? :D

Check out my open source TimeSeed.io it's decentralized encryption for msg and files, all time based.

I HAVE NOT RECEIVED @jack s ZAP SINCE I AM ON #NOSTR WILL THIS NOTE RECEIVE ONE

Sadly the beta is full, but this looks promising 🔥 #nostr #privacy #bluetooth #mesh View quoted note →

How this overtakes Open Garden’s BT mesh assuming in same category/use

Love the Unlicense

Ahhh the TestFlight is already full.

FUUUUUU

LoRa's long range but low bandwidth already enables telemetry messages from as far as orbiting satellites with $20 hardware (

TinyGS Webapp v20260125

). For motivated, low time preference users, such as Nostriches, I think there must be a way to hyper-efficiently encode/decode longer text messages using local language models, trading work at sender and receiver for better transmission efficiency, mitigating bandwidth constraints and enabling far wider mesh coverage. Whether or not it can be made to work, I'm finding it interesting to explore

seen on nostr.mom, relay.nostr.band, nos.lol

Un-full the beta!

Fantastic

Testing from #ElSalvador, if I show up anywhere, say hello...

The bluetooth interface for #reticulum has still to be written. Would be a much more versatile approach.

Dude you gotta come to #SovEng

Got an apk for Android Jack?

Aaaaand.... the beta is full

Can I get the invite code jack??

i think it’s (unfortunately) really cool that despite it all, jack is still a lame ass dork from st. louis, who codes nerd things, for other nerds. beautiful work lil dude, but can you please just get kungfukenny on nostr finally? View quoted note →

IOS tho

haftasonu projesine bak ksksk

This is great. Also check out Meshtastic. I have been playing around with it for a few weeks with cheap LoRa devices. Here in NC, most of the state is covered!

Meshtastic

An open source, off-grid, decentralized mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices

🤦‍♂️ @jack co-founded a decentralized network called “Damus” 😂🤷‍♂️

would be cool if this used nostr-sdk and negentropy synced to other nodes when they uplink to each other. then it could have the option to wide-area broadcast the notes so that it can be stored and forwarded from relays as a fallback

This sounds interesting! Unfortunately, I’m late for the party. TestFlight is already full

I've ported bitchat to Android and it's interoperable with the iOS app by @jack github repo:

it's still a bit rough around the edges and there are a few bugs. issues and PRs welcome View quoted note →

Bitchat Bitkey Bitcoin Bit…

Missed the TestFlight, excited to try it out when it goes live

Multi-star topology. Not mesh.

Is there going to be more slots for the TestFlight since it’s full?

full again.

If you’re within Bluetooth range, just talk to me dawg😂

Missed it. What’s the best way to try and get in the next wave?

No friends 😕

Cool stuff @jack

it's so fucking beautiful and brilliant and... Bitcoin! OMG! thank you!

testflight full :(

testflight limit reached ⚡️

awesome, has relay length been documented yet? support for broader network would be neat, e.g setting up small IoTs with bluetooth antenna that would simply be broadband relay stations; though at that point regulations probably similar to mesh networks and radio bands kick in, not sure.
