¿Nos podrías dar más información acerca de la auditoría de seguridad por parte de un tercero? Gracias Jack.
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. 👉
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?
Any specific location everyone is meeting to chat? I think #m21 had lots of people before!

I hope that one day Nostr becomes as big a success as bitchat.
should pay some celeb (not b!tc01n celeb please) on youtube to promote it, or maybe just dont and not have anybody use it

La nuova versione di BitChat è ora disponibile sull'App Store, portando la comunicazione decentralizzata a un livello superiore di velocità, contenuti e sicurezza.

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. Aggiorna ora BitChat sul tuo iPhone e prova il futuro della messaggistica privata 🔗 #BitChat #iOS #Privacy #MeshNetwork #Tor View quoted note →
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
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)
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?

It’s 4, which is awesome 👏… but there are some more features that you can add it to the app… guess what!?! #bitchat.free
NEVER USED THIS ... OR TRUED TO IN THE BEGINNING I THINK... SO TOU NEED TO BE WITHIN RANGE ( BLUETOOTH ) TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS ? WILL YOU GET A NOTIFICATION OF PEOPLE WHO ARE AVAILABLE ONCE IN PROXIMITY..
Respect. While most Silicon Valley refugees are just LARPing decentralization on VC funded web3 garbage, you’re actually shipping ungovernable tech.
I have read that millions are using it but never found more than 10 in any geo tag.

Does bitchat work over wifi or is it strictly BLE?

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.
