very cool!
this is amazing
TestFlight...don't think they share email though? that would be dumb.
Only if you submit crashes and feedback IIRC
Didn't know that Bluetooth can be used as a mesh network, super low distance for stable connection or ?
YES finally someone posting worthwhile shit here thank you
Check this out
Waiting for a dev to spin up an Android client
We use Bluetooth intercoms using a dynamic mesh network on our helmets for snowmobiling.
They’re usually good for around 1km or so before they cut out through open fields. In the dense forest it will be less.
Once a rider catches back up to being within range, it automatically reconnects.
necessary
fuck it's so perfect for introverts!!
View quoted note →This is great! Ever heard of LoRa radio and/or meshtastic? Bitchat's protocol looks vastly superior, especially because of cache/announce/tx by design - really cool.
Unfortunately meshtastic is too tied to mqtt but even still, there are huge meshes running worldwide. Would be cool to have this working over LoRa just for the kicks
i have, but i'm not sure yet how to implement LoRa.
does something happen? other than you imbedding in my cellphone, probably?
fucking hacker.
sharing email downloads with the public? 🫡
sharing email with your stupid husband like my mom does? 😡
LoRA might not be a radio on mobile
Just need to unlock that cell band chipset for serious gainz
yeah. probably not.
so you should probably talk to me because i know what that is. and you're doing too much.
Not until someone else in Bluetooth range downloads the app
uh huh.
do you know why steve jobs had apple redesign the iphone without the headphone port?

Good for Burning Man and finding friends in the desert?
I like it. This reminds me of a digital walkie talkie. Using a walkie talkie is how I learned Morse Code. Why the “bit”? Are we sending Bitcoin p2p within the app without wifi? If it happens in a straight forward way and can be spent immediately, then I’ll be super impressed. Let’s go, it’s about time.
With QR codes being difficult to scan outdoors and NFC tightly controlled, BLE and ultrasonic (or just sonic!) transmission are promising ways to improve Bitcoin UX

Very cool.
Sadly not super practical for sender use given lack of market penetration compared to a phone, but I’ve used these before for some long-range projects.

NGL I read that as "bitch at"😅
Title:
Let a nostr client act as a personal relay to inject its timeline into the local mesh chat group.
As a
nostr user connected to a Bluetooth mesh network,
I want to
use my own private key to log in and push my home timeline (e.g., from Damus or any nostr client) into the local mesh chat group,
So that
I can share my worldview and feed with nearby users, without overloading the mesh with a full relay architecture.
we should allow each user to act as a selective source, pushing their own curated timeline (their view of the world) into the local mesh group. This aligns with the idea of decentralized, personal storytelling — each node tells its own story, rather than rebroadcasting the entire network.
perfect for those on a houseboat at sea :)
Bitch at?
Mesh networks are the proper way forward;
Dynamic, free-flowing, decentralized webs of communication.
This is how we build better lives.
Thanks
@jack, #nostr, and #bitcoin.
View quoted note →FireChat 2.1?
Wow, you are a smart white hacker.
I don't make sense everything yet, but you mean it will be able to keep chatting with Bluetooth if my Wifi ruter is suspended? Furthermore, nobody can't chasing our chat history on the Bluetooth network?
Do you perhaps think stable network is not good for privacy? Maybe anonymous network points will increase in future.
Very cool! There seems to be a room discovery bug (added to repo) but love this app!
could be...
great!
Great you are working on a fully resilient, redundant, & truly censorship-resistant information- & communication system rooted in Bitcoin, but tragically most Bitcoiners - including yourself - have been miracleously ignoring the fact that Earth's magnetic field has been weakening at least 5% per decades and that another "Carrington" event (1850 approx.) will have catastrophic effects (= destruction of ALL information - & grid- & communication systems for a very very very long time). Due to the extremely weakened magnetic field of Earth, planet Earth & humanity in tolalitity are exponentially more vulnerable.
By the way, that just the first phase within the next years to come...I am not even talking about the overdue magnetic pole shift between 2030-2050,...if we are lucky.
Got a linux desktop version?
There is Bitcoiners using bluetooth on their phones? wow.
no, but code is public domain.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I tried it with my team during a concert with 6,000 people at the Circus Maximus in Rome, where usually there’s no phone signal, and it worked perfectly!!!

I think u should change the name
How compatible?!?!
Awesome to see you building!
agree!!
Yes, but as I see this works as an isolated client.
Not impossible, but the idea of
@Samiz is to take care only of the data transmission layer and let the uset to use its own nostr client/relay.
nah
This weekend project received a lot of attention on midia, but Nostr usually no, haha
A Bitching BitchX style iRC client called BitchAt. Nice
Can we get a /nick or /n username command? :D
Nostr has no lucky.
Check out my open source TimeSeed.io it's decentralized encryption for msg and files, all time based.
I think Nostr would be covered a lot in midia, if
@jack creates his own Nostr client.
I like the name but I have Venus in Scorpio so bitching at people I don’t like, which is most people, is fitting.
They've already begun doing it for our bodies. Jabbed and swabbed people are now emitting 1-4 unique bluetooth MAC-IDs. You can test it yourself with your modile device.
I HAVE NOT RECEIVED
@jack s ZAP SINCE I AM ON #NOSTR WILL THIS NOTE RECEIVE ONE
Sadly the beta is full, but this looks promising 🔥

Ahhh the TestFlight is already full.
FUUUUUU
Son of a…
It’s not fully released so I guess we gotta wait for them to bump up the test user count or someone gets kicked
LoRa's long range but low bandwidth already enables telemetry messages from as far as orbiting satellites with $20 hardware (
https://tinygs.com/).
For motivated, low time preference users, such as Nostriches, I think there must be a way to hyper-efficiently encode/decode longer text messages using local language models, trading work at sender and receiver for better transmission efficiency, mitigating bandwidth constraints and enabling far wider mesh coverage.
Whether or not it can be made to work, I'm finding it interesting to explore

Un-full the beta!
Fantastic
Someone bake an APK... Mesh and node networking is a likely next iteration of human digital networking. It's the next step...
Testing from #ElSalvador, if I show up anywhere, say hello...
The bluetooth interface for #reticulum has still to be written. Would be a much more versatile approach.
Dude you gotta come to #SovEng

This is great. Also check out Meshtastic. I have been playing around with it for a few weeks with cheap LoRa devices. Here in NC, most of the state is covered!
Meshtastic
An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices
🤦♂️ @jack co-founded a decentralized network called “Damus” 😂🤷♂️
would be cool if this used nostr-sdk and negentropy synced to other nodes when they uplink to each other. then it could have the option to wide-area broadcast the notes so that it can be stored and forwarded from relays as a fallback
This sounds interesting! Unfortunately, I’m late for the party. TestFlight is already full
👆this!
We use meshtastic here in Brazil. O have a node in my house.
Bitchat Bitkey Bitcoin Bit…

Missed the TestFlight, excited to try it out when it goes live
Multi-star topology. Not mesh.
Is there going to be more slots for the TestFlight since it’s full?
full again.

testflight limit reached. could you rise it a little more for me ? 🤙
It’s open source
:) #cashu #reticulum #mesh
Wouldn’t that require an Apple dev account to run?
If you’re within Bluetooth range, just talk to me dawg😂
Missed it. What’s the best way to try and get in the next wave?
Not particularly
Agreed. We need to promote more MURS and CB adoption. Both can be used without a license, MURS even allows you to connect digital devices to transmit and receive data.
Bitchat is also interesting though
No friends 😕
Not at all from what I have understood
It’s disabled in OpenBSD
Yeah
We need MURS and CB walkie talkies connected to phones/computers for a better meshnet
it's so fucking beautiful and brilliant and... Bitcoin! OMG!
thank you!
i think it would need to be rewritten in something other than mac-specific tech to be multi-platform.
how does mesh node networking work?
yes
testflight full :(
testflight limit reached ⚡️
I got most of the way there with goose, but does it really fit the anonymous, ephemeral philosophy?
awesome, has relay length been documented yet?
support for broader network would be neat, e.g setting up small IoTs with bluetooth antenna that would simply be broadband relay stations; though at that point regulations probably similar to mesh networks and radio bands kick in, not sure.
