- Citrine is a relay that runs in your Android phone. - Samiz syncs your local Citrine events with other people's Citrine events. - Jumble displays a feed of that specific relay and allows you to post to that specific relay. That way you get a hyperlocal "Nostr" with a feed of stuff only from people that are close to each other (and that they have decided to publish on that local feed, so presumably it will be things of interest to whoever is nearby).
Tecnologias Bluetooth sΓ£o interessante, mas Γ© muito vulnerΓ‘vel. Por mais que sejamos entusiastas da descentralizaΓ§Γ£o, nΓ£o uma rede mesh bluetooth nΓ£o se opera sem riscos severos Γ  seguranΓ§a. Talvez em um futuro prΓ³ximo, quando essas tecnologias forem usadas com sinal de Tethering WiFi, coisas que Bitchat pretende fazer. Rede mesh bluetooth seria apenas para emergΓͺncias, uma catΓ‘strofe de proporΓ§Γ΅es de deixar tudo offline. E ainda assim Γ© arriscado nΓ£o ter dispositivos preparados, porque os aplicativos de mesh bluetooth que tenho testado dependem que o primeiro acesso tenha internet. NΓ£o adiantaria sair distribuindo o apk para as pessoas se comunicarem em um cenΓ‘rio totalmente sem internet. Para o Samiz ser funcional, pessoas prΓ³ximas precisam usar todos os recursos habilitados (Samiz, Citrine e um client compatΓ­vel) e dar suporte aos usuΓ‘rios offline. Eu nΓ£o faria isso e nem recomendaria ninguΓ©m a fazer. Sem falar que pode ser que exista as mesmas vulnerabilidades que hΓ‘ no bitchat, de permitir o ataque man-in-the-middle para atacantes assumir identidades.

The user interface needs to be #bitchat .. Why ? 1) it is light weight 2) best design 3) going to be lot more popular than #nostr . Even if not , it captures a different cohort of users . Opportunity for nostr 1) stream the channels live .. imagine a conference of 5000 people chatting on bitchat but one of them is streaming live .. it is like live news from battlefield :-) 2) allow users to login with nostr npub ..optional for users.... but the benefit carrot is obvious , it lets me use different devices .. backs up my communication on relays if I want 3) why should nostr do it .. 1) new user cohort to capture 2) ride the bitchat wave 3) alignment of ethos .. freedom , anti deplatfom etc 4) new client interface . Lay the ground work for other platforms to adopt nostr as a protocol What nostr should NOT do 1) create another app - cuz it is unnecessary 2) confuse users - three layer architecture 3) double the attack surface
Considering myself one of your user, I'd say the relay thinking comes. Without failing. For me it was when some message got lost, and I started to look for community on the protocol. I'm lucky to possess some of the skills required to run a relay, so I did that. But there are plenty of neat one out there, where I can be exposed to ideas I wouldn't find in my bubbles, but without the mad spam. Lately I have found myself using amethyst only for private messages, and for leisure in the open: jumble. Love what you are doing though, @Vitor Pamplona . Looking forward to test next release!
Samiz v0.0.6-alpha is now out! πŸš€ ## What's new ###Features Include own user-agent in local relay connections ###Fix armeabi-v7a and arm64-v8a architectures now available to download Also available on @Zapstore
