Negentropy syncing notes over meshtastic links would be cypherpunk af. fully distributed, p2p, signed application data over radio. Who needs ISPs? They are a chokepoint anyways. So many cool usecases to explore outside of microblogging. Imagine a lora setup for a local community, syncing notes between each other without any real internet infrastructure in place. To send a note would be simply writing it to your local database. When nodes are online at the same time they simply sync with each other or a local relay server. You could totally build distributed, low connectivity, store and forward applications this way if nostr was used for your application data. what meshtastic kit should i get to start hacking on these things @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 ?

RAK are very low power . I have a house node in my attic a roof node that is solar power and a few portable nodes. Maybe get a RAK that is a house node and an H1 for mobility
Isn't part of LoRa the ability to have many simultaneuos non-conflicting transmissions because of the chirp modulation and error correction codes? Or is that already taken into account? Regardless, in rural areas this wouldn't be an issue.
Chirp spread spectrum modulation does allow for multiple simultaneous transmissions, but I believe that even so, with many devices transmitting together, performance can start to degrade, it will also affect other devices operating on the same spectrum.
