we discovered a great use case for bitchat at a conference: panel moderator on the cypherpunk stage used it to collect questions from the audience. it worked great.
no registration, no accounts, no qr codes, just pure mesh q&a.

that is fucking awesome
Imagine it at sporting events or concerts. Basically a group chat room for everyone there. Partyyyyyy!
I see this in the Google Play Store, but I thought that bitchat wasn't (yet) available in any stores, and was only available via a manual Indian of an apk.
Is this the real app?
Don’t trust, verify.
Judging from the company name and rating I think you can guess 😜
A twitch live chat but for real life LFG
I wouldn't download it from the app store. Use their Github instead and download the apk:

A lot of housekeeping:
UI fixes

Just keeps getting better⚡️
It's not, but the Zapstore has it.
Is there a way to have private chats in Bitchat?
I will soon be giving a student at our university the task of writing a bachelor thesis on the question of whether bitchat can be used as an emergency communication system in hospitals🔥 Since every doctor and nurse already has a phone, it would be easy and cheap to set up. I bet it would work great in any disaster including hacker attacks.
Very cool. Great use case. I do wonder if this could lead to some verbal version of the WNBA dildo throws, with "trouble makers" in any given audience, but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. 😄
This is awesome - was just hearing about difficulty with no signal at the Outside Lands concert… wonder if I can convince my teenager and her friends to give it a try.

Yes, you can even use nostr to communicate when outside of the mesh network
Fantastic example! Keep up the fantastic work
This is incredible. Let’s keep sharijg use cases!

this is some really cool Shit!
I didn’t realise how massive this was when experiencing it. Great panel on sovereign individual ⚡️🙌🏾
That’s indeed a good idea!
Always nice to see works being made 🫡 I just don’t know how many of these we need!!?? This is basically just an RDC
Great idea!!!
Why doesn't bitchat keep running in the background? I had opened it and my girlfriend too, an hour later I went to the toilet outside the mountain cabin (without connection), but was out of paper. We weren't connected anymore so I couldn't message her for more paper haha. Any plans on improving this? It seems like you have to explicitly open the app both at the same time to make it work now.
hey -- we want to send you a test zap, but couldn’t find a NIP-05 or ⚡ lightning address on your profile. u can set one up for free on rizful 
... then pls reply here and we will do a test zap.
Rizful: Lightning Services
Free Lightning vaults, and instant, disposable Lightning Nodes.
This might be off topic.
Is anyone creating a Nostr app store?
Apple store is not my go to place.
The implications /use cases for Bitchat is awesome .
For Android @Zapstore exists and works very well!!
🤙
How does it work?
Like a chat-room?
But they still need to install the legitimate Bitchat app right? I think that I the biggest effort now!
Was it @npub1yn3h...mzt0?
Fascinating. Bluetooth isn't the most reliable connection but seems like a good stepping stone until it improves.
If the name of the company"s CEO is Satoshi Nakamoto, then I trust it 😃
🙋♂️
What is the range in meters for bluetooth when using Bitchat?
Really interesting, hope to see you guys at Lugano Plan B also!
If you’re on iOS, it won’t matter, you can still only download from the AppStore, unless you live in Europe, they like playing fast and loose.
TestFlight is the closest thing to something like that. I don’t think their standards are as high for that so you may be able to slip an app through there. I have seen some pirated movie apps on there on occasion, so it’s not like it can’t be done.
Foundation has a new piece of hardware coming out soon called the prime, it’s a hardware wallet and a lot more. Anyways, they have created some sort of sandboxed, for lack of a better word, Bluetooth chip that allows for secure connections without leaving you wide open to an external attack. Maybe something like that for mobile devices could be in the future?

This is really cool!

with enough network effect many cool use cases become possible
the same should be true for tons of other technologies that failed to gather enough network effect
such as bitcoin and nostr
Love it and we just getting started
@jack just thank you Jack for this miracle !
aw i love this, i hope to be able to use it with hopefully at least one other person soon 🥰
cool indeed
That’s fantastic.
It’s going to have so many uses for whenever there is a gathering of people:
Concerts, festivals, matches, skiing!
is that in android?
we could use this on barcrush dating app.
Thanks for that. I'll check it out. Bookmarked for later study.
No worries.
This is one bookmark I check.
This is another, with a better UI.

Thank you. I appreciate the links. Bookmarked and reposted in case others are interested .
My Nintendo DS could do that in 2004
Newbie here… thanks for being patient. Still trying to figure everything out. I added my lighting address.
Thank you . I didn't know Nostr had an app index . Still working my way through it.
