Made a Bitchat video! Has been awesome to see this used at many Bitcoin events as a demo, but even more awesome to see it used during protests under authoritarian regimes and natural disasters when Internet goes down. Shout-out @jack @calle

For anyone watching this video, please remember that the maximum possible distance you can get is one mile because you can have a maximum of seven hops and with Bluetooth maximum range it equates to about one mile physically. Something like #meshtastic, while it does require another physical device to be purchased, does get a lot farther.

If you wish to chat 1 mile over the mesh, BitChat can absolutely do that. If you want to chat 50 miles over a mesh, BitChat cannot do that, #meshtastic can.

Unfortunately very niche, but extremely handy in certain contexts.
