Think it’s possible to run #bitchat on these #meshtastic devices? πŸ€” #asknostr #offgridcomms #meshnetwork image

That’s what I’ve been wondering. It would be great if Meshtastic could relay messages over longer distances than Bluetooth can span.

That's a very relevant question.

So like... did you get bitch@ to run on those devices? I'm in the market for a #meshtastic device, and your feedback would be helpful. I'm hesitant to buy some ~$30 device off Amazon, and then find out the range, frequencies, and battery life are kind of shit. Thx in advance!

An esp32 version of Bitchat has to be written for it to work. Yes there range issues with Meshtastic devices due to its line of sight usability but the more nodes on the network the better it will work. Get a couple and play around with them. Low cost of entry.
