I would like to see some more interesting communities outside of crypto claiming a geohash as a room #fuckery is available for example lol

Maybe someday they will fork cashu and start using bitcoin without realising it. 😜
What makes you think they don't know such basic details rather than them trying to jump on the mini-hype to advertise their bags to crypto users?

Whut? So when you use Bitchst, Nostr is used in the background? How is Nostr used and for what reasons? I thought all communication goes through Bluetooth.

Peer to peer is direct Bluetooth. If there’s no one around you, it’s routed through the Nostr network.
Can you explain how bitchat uses nostr? Are they creating public keys and using relays when not on mesh?
If someone in your bluetooth mesh also happens to be connected to the internet, traffic gets relayed over nostr, and then also out to any other Bluetooth mesh networks similarly connected.
It started as a Bluetooth mesh chat, but now additionally uses Nostr in the background for Geohash-based chats.

I so love Nostr. Its feral, creative, chaotic and amazingly inspiring .
Doge is co-mined with Litecoin, I was pushing Nostr on some Litecoin chatgroups recently as Litecoin also uses the Lightning network - so it would be relatively easy to gain there too...
Hopefully this gets them doing philanthropy again. Rumor has it that the Doge jokestrs raised money for the Jamaican Bobsled team.

Are there tech docs, besides the code, that explain how bitchat uses Nostr? Are bitchat notes/posts stored on relays besides the peers?

I'm ok with that. Now we just need zaps to work between them by auto transferring one type of digital token for another.
