Well done sir! I was wishing for this integration, thanks for building it for us, so I don't have to attempt to do so myself. This seems an obvious integration of complementary technologies. Now we just need to integrate this offline app distribution with what you just built. Then, we may be finally removing some difficult security threats making us all more uncensorable.
When can someone build a market place with this tech ? I think that would be stellar. Before we're all shut out of traditional systems
What hardware are you using for LoRa connectivity? Meaning to go down that rabbit hole but the sheer number of hardware options is overwhelming given my limited bandwidth...
Just dove down this rabbit hole myself yesterday. I decided I wanted to be up and running with my Meshtastic device sooner than later and with little headache, so I went and got myself a RAKwireless WisMesh Pocket v2 that was pre-assembled. (Bought from Rokland, if you're in the US.) I decided to go with it as it has an OLED screen, GPS radio, rechargeable battery , and an external antenna with bluetooth. Possibly more than I'd ever need, but I'm excited to get it and try it out.
Unfortunately I'm in the EU, but also looking for a pre-assembled option (not as much free time on my hands as I used to have....) I'll look into your suggestion and see if I find a local retailer Thx!

Por aquí ya hemos realizado comunicaciones a varios cientos de km
Yes, the meshcore devices can go much farther than Bluetooth range and also have repeaters available with which to broadcast a signal even farther. Thanks to my local repeater, I'm able to contact a node 17 miles from my house.
I've been using it for about a year, and I seriously suggest the Heltec MeshPocket since it doubles as a USB power bank for your phone.
Wtf. Big up. What you guys are playing with these days is wild as fuck. 🙏🏻

Investing without knowing what you're looking for is like running through a dynamite factory with a lit match. If you want to learn how to invest the smart way, kindly reach out to me on telegram... t.me/Johnsavvy3
That depends on what preset you select. On long fast, on meshtastic, it's only 1 KBPS, but on something like short fast, it can be something like 10 KBPS, and on short turbo it can be 20 KBPS. Also, to address the channel utilization, telemetry has been disabled in the latest versions by default and you have to request it manually instead of it being sent out automatically.
Sure, but you mentioned meshtastic because of the larger network. but I'm reality nobody is using anything except longfast. In my area, long fast has 3 repeaters and I can connect to maybe 100 miles away within 2 hops . Switching modes, there is some guy named Fred in the same town, and that's it. Lol So at that point , you might as well use meshcore. Or in my case, reticulum
