Iβm a bit worried Iβm going to get pulled into this whole Meshtastic thing because of @npub1hucn...s8yt but also I think Iβm okay with that.
(Better start following that #Meshtastic hashtag!)

I think it is o.k. to start with meshtastic because of the lower barrier of entry. My way: Playing around with #meshtastic hard- and software. Reading the #reticulum manual in parallel.
100% agreed
Meshtastic is buying Bitcoin on KYC exchange
Reticulum is running your own ecash mint from your own LN node
(Pardon my horrid analogy)
A big advantage of #reticulum seems the possibility to connect different LoRa meshs via internet. As long as the mesh is not tight enough this seems to be a way for larger communities.
Two big advantages imo actually;
1) device agnostic
- laptop, server, radio, phone, etc.
2) protocol agnostic
- can communicate with reticulum over UDP/TCP/LoRa/etc. (Can even hand write if desired and decrypt locally!)
I get the power of "2)" which is amazing, but for me (lack of expertise with this) I'm not sure how to exactly set it up to actually send message from laptop via TCP, to multiple different receivers like a remote LoRa device in the mountains & a iPhone on Verizon simultaneously π€―
I've seen folks do this just have to sit down one weekend and do it myself
Can't do this with meshtastic (yet [without MQTT])
Let me know when you figured out this multi-device-type communication. That's my end goal.
Same will do π
But where does nostr fit into this analogy
You can easily sign events and relay them through your own #Reticulum mesh if so desired
This is what I'm making for myself and our communities
Cant wait to see it in action
Me tooπ

that helps my 80 IQ pleb brain!
