Bitchat + Nostr + Bitcoin. This is the future.
Have been using, thanks!
¿Nos podrías dar más información acerca de la auditoría de seguridad por parte de un tercero? Gracias Jack.

What serialization format do y'all use between clients? JSON? Proto?
Jack and/or @npub12rv5...85vg what is the best resource for normies facing internet/financial services lockdowns to understand bitchat as well as possible using bitcoin/cashu in that context?
I’ve been spending a lot of time around, the broader Bitcoin/blockchain space, and one thing is becoming very clear, automation is quietly changing how people interact with markets.
Auto algorithm trading isn’t about shortcuts or hype. It’s about using transparent, rules-based systems that remove emotion and let the tech do what it does best.
I’ve an ongoing VIP group, A space for people who want to learn how these strategies actually work, how they’re built, and how to use them responsibly as innovation continues to move fast around the blockchain.
If you’re curious, open-minded, and interested in where this is heading, you’re welcome to join.

Thanks
Will it work with a Dominion-issued Vorta-Link Command Node?
Sync with a Field Command Transceiver?
Only respond to Jem’Hadar biosignatures?
Prevent enemy use?
Self-neutralize if tampered with?

Impressive!
The Firsts are given the most advanced comm units. We are given the standard issue. This is the order of things. Still… it is curious how often ‘excellence’ coincides with better tools.

Any specific location everyone is meeting to chat? I think #m21 had lots of people before!
Wen Lora support :)
Felicitaciones 🎉🍾
Wen NFC? 🤣
I hope that one day Nostr becomes as big a success as bitchat.
- nobody around
should pay some celeb (not b!tc01n celeb please) on youtube to promote it, or maybe just dont and not have anybody use it
LFG 🔥

man, you gotta love, @npub1sg6p...f63m 🫂❤️🔥🌠🌹🕊️🌞 crushing it!
hey @npub1sg6p...f63m I've finished importing my nsec into bitchat, reading my profile in #me, and publishing to my account via a mesh client with internet access. Publishing is now working (proof:
). I'm fine-tuning the final details and will upload it to the Android project.

This is huge for bitchat, in my opinion:
"... audited by 3rd party security group and addressed all findings"

The best news of this is that there is a .free domain!
Primal's chat could really benefit from merging with bitchat somehow...
È arrivata la v1.5.0 di BitChat per iOS
Dopo letteralmente mesi, finalmente arriva un aggiornamenti tra i più significativi.
La nuova versione di BitChat è ora disponibile sull'App Store, portando la comunicazione decentralizzata a un livello superiore di velocità, contenuti e sicurezza.
Ecco le novità principali di questa release:
🎙️ Note vocali e Immagini in Mesh Chat
La comunicazione offline e peer-to-peer non è più limitato al solo testo. Da oggi puoi inviare messaggi vocali e foto direttamente nella Mesh Chat, mantenendo la connessione anche dove non c'è internet.
🛣️ Nuovo Algoritmo di Mesh Routing
Riscritto il cuore della rete. Il nuovo algoritmo di routing ottimizza il passaggio dei pacchetti tra i nodi, garantendo una consegna dei messaggi più rapida e una maggiore stabilità della rete in condizioni di alta densità di dispositivi.
🧅 Integrazione del Framework Tor (Arti)
La privacy è la priorità. Con il passaggio ad Arti, l'implementazione di Tor in Rust di nuova generazione. Questo significa una connessione alla rete Onion più robusta, sicura e performante rispetto al passato.
🔒 Sicurezza al Primo Posto
In questa versione implementati tutti i fix derivanti dall'ultimo Security Audit. Rifinito il codice per eliminare vulnerabilità e garantire che le conversazioni rimangano private e inattaccabili.

it would be interesting to plug-in bitchat into existing apps as "messaging module" between users, but maybe also as support module between app developers and its users in bitcoin apps
Bitchat has all this but I dont have any users in my close surroundings...
Maybe one day ... it becomes popular in my side of the world too...
I’m using iOS and can’t type a geolocation to teleport because the cursor won’t stay active. The keyboard goes away immediately. Is this an issue for everyone or just me?
These updates are absolutely game-changing! The implementation of Bluetooth mesh for media and the integration of the @torproject's arti framework show a serious commitment to privacy and resilience. Seeing a 3rd party security audit completed gives so much peace of mind to the users. This is exactly the kind of innovation the decentralized world needs. Huge respect to the team for pushing the boundaries of communication! 🤝
It can also work with Meshtastic


I'm missing some feature that would hint how many people are actually in the given geo tag. Currently it's always just 1 until someone replies (on android)
Something with 3d printing?
Cool. Will be very interesting to see what the oversight and monitoring is able to produce from the bitchat connections - it's going to be powerful.

Tried this (ios)— worked over long distance (looks like it used Nostr relays). I even chatted with @Eggo across the country. How do you manage favorite people / a favorites list?
Noicee!!
It’s 4, which is awesome 👏… but there are some more features that you can add it to the app…
guess what!?!
#bitchat.free
Congratulations. This is really so great.
Good news for #bitchat

NEVER USED THIS ... OR TRUED TO IN THE BEGINNING I THINK... SO TOU NEED TO BE WITHIN RANGE ( BLUETOOTH ) TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS ?

Respect. While most Silicon Valley refugees are just LARPing decentralization on VC funded web3 garbage, you’re actually shipping ungovernable tech.
I'm having the same issue as well
I have read that millions are using it but never found more than 10 in any geo tag.

Flutter Bitchat source code available! First version APK included. Communication with other devices is FUNCTIONAL via Bluetooth! 🚀📲 cc: @ja...
Here comes the slop
Does bitchat work over wifi or is it strictly BLE?
#bitchat is not at a full boil, but something shifted this weekend. Activity is suddenly bubbling up everywhere.

#community_nostr_recap
My son tried bitchat's photo and audio sharing feature over bluetooth. He was blown away.
Open Garden's Firechat too early...or poor signaling?
Has anyone tackled the problem of how to get bitchat dispersed in places it is most needed, especially around protests in scary regimes? (Iran & Venezuela comes to mind.)
Best I can imagine is a literal leaflet airdrop over protest crowds. Some kind of spoofed Wifi hack might work if done cleverly.
