Thread

it is on github. bitchat.free

to clarify my question a bit. I see you have a .csv file of relays and lat/long and im wondering how you generate it.

off topic https://csv-importer.coracle.social/

I was thinking about this exactly, nip 66 sounds like the best solution

I dont think @jack can hear me, something about primal doesn't like my npub.

we're compiling our own list thanks for @x's work. eventually we want to crawl these from nostr relays directly so nip66 will be useful (and also relay lists, forgot the kind)

@x can chime in

For now, we just ping ipinfo. But the goal is to use an opensource DB of IP range -> location like this one

GitHub

GitHub - sapics/ip-location-db: ip to location database by ASN, GeoFeed, Whois, iptoasn.com, db-ip lite, GeoLite2

ip to location database by ASN, GeoFeed, Whois, iptoasn.com, db-ip lite, GeoLite2 - sapics/ip-location-db

It already uses NIP-65 (relay lists)

I have created a python crawler that uses kind 10002 and kind 3 to crawl a lot of relays with a breadth first search.

does it check that the relay is wide open for kind20000? i am realizing now this will only work on free and open relays. which there are probably very few of these days.. (for spam reasons).

yeah, a new bitchat client called NYM has a feature of automatically ignoring flooders. it's gonna be a short honeymoon once griefers realise there is a new fun group of people to have an easy laugh at.

It tries to query and write kind 2ke events

You’re falling into the trap. They want to pit generations (and other groups) against each other, so we don’t focus our collective anger at the fiat system we are all forced to play in. Move to 100% Bitcoin standard and you will see the power of opting out of their fake world.

heads-up: we looked for a lightning address on your profile but could not find one... u can get a free one at

... and then reply back to this comment so we can zap you.

yes

def. working on hardening it now.

#Meshtastic all over again. Please stop selling people 100 yards coverage or internet dependence as emergency comms. If I really need emergency comms with an internet outage it isn't like my next door neighbor in the apartment complex isn't also fucked. I honestly can't tell if it is willful harm or complete ignorance of what a real emergency looks like at this point. Either way, you have a big platform @jack and it comes with a moral responsibility to do better.

I think the hams are loving it too. Could probably lead to a way to invest / buy in to local site infrastructure? Someone will find which dots to connect.

Thank God, finally found my way here 🫶🏼

How?

Connecting people around you, even with no internet

That's how geohash works.

Geohash - Wikipedia

They should’ve used What3Words !

The simplest way to talk about location

The simplest way to talk about location

Every 3 metre square has a unique 3 word address.

They likely used geohash due to being public domain, instead of the proprietary what three words. Similar concepts though, there are others as well.
