at first i thought bitchat was a distraction because of limited bluetooth reach and historical security issues, but as things progressed I see I was dead wrong. Not necessarily because bitchat is gonna revolutionize chat experience, but because its another piece of the puzzle, going from hyper local to global over nostr and back to hyper local. fiatjaf demonstrated note sharing with BLE the other day: nostr://nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqwlsccluhy6xxsr6l9a9uhhxf75g85g8a709tprjcn4e42h053vaqqsgm6ag6vq2s29vp7w3kk4yjgn7c3rs9jmhmmjn8g5cy7seutuqavsvht3cs bitchat is using nostr as global backend now: nostr://nevent1qqsvdn8apntnas3nkhcn5ychzsgz04nptrcz9zefa5l7ayfqefusudsmrwv7v throw in some meshtastic and reticulum and we're slowly but surely building out new decentralized infrastructure that is incredibly adaptive and ungovernable. the beauty of nostr is that its dumb, signed json can be transferred over whatever medium, its async so you can get the latest updates from wherever you come across something on the electromagnetic spectrum and odds are it might be carrying nostr notes. this is how resilient infrastructure is built - on a wide spectrum, like the builders making it. ungovernable networks of resistance 🏴‍☠️
