Guys bitchat for android is now on the google play store ₿
https://t.co/ZjaQ1WCszJDoes this work with/without internet? 🤔
What does this actually mean? Are these like forums you can only unlock if you have been to a certain location? (I was actually wondering if this would happen!) Can you invite people to a group event if they haven't visited the location, like an invite code to unlock?
Regional chats, based on location, identity free, using Nostr as the transport layer.
without internet , only active bluetooth needed !
I was thinking in terms of like events. Eg door all matches or parties etc. you may want to invite someone to your Manchester United forum but they haven't been to a match but want to participate in the forum.
I was sort of hoping it was more a forum than a chatroom too lol
In the Android version you can make custom chat rooms. It's still early, time will tell.
So I can teleport (join) any geohash and chat there with others who are there?

Guess now I have to try it out.
I wonder how the geohash thing works. Does it reveal my location to the street level? If used with new nyms that's ok I guess. Or can I set the granularity in the app, so people can't triangulate my nym with any meaningful precision?
So the geohash is not correctly considering neighboring cells. Guess that gets fixed quickly. It might also mean that you are leaking your position more than intended.
Thanks for testing ;)
So with these geohashes now being sent to nostr relays, can we get a heat map or are the script kiddies already teleporting like crazy?
This is AWESOME
Ça va venir, c'est dans le pipe.
Pour l'instant la 0.8 ne fait pas grand chose que parler avec les voisins en Bluetooth.
Not sure exactly what implementation he's using here, but there is a standard tag in Nostr to add a "geohash." The geohashing format has something of an arbitrary precision level; so you could be (say) 2000 mile radius, 200, 20, etc.
Why is kind 20000 necessary? Isn't the geohash separate from that, like just a tag that goes onto other notes?
someone will build it
How does it connect to the #nostr relays then?
?
new nym per region
I love this. Thank you! 🔥
rip orange pill app?
#asknostr
I only ever get this in #Bitchat. How can I ever connect with other devices and users?
in does consider neighbor cells. but does not write up or down precision.
I will be using Bitchat 🔥

Oh wow.
@7fqx we can chat in Antarctica once it comes to Android.
What are some good hashes to teleport to?
this may be the reason nos.lol disliked it.
i will modify algo a bit to be more friendly to these kind of fresh npub creating apps
Where are we meeting up?
nos seemed to require PoW too?
also, i love nos.lol so thank you for running it
yeah when it thinks spam is starting it switches to asking for PoW for a while and then if spam is continuing it gives up and rejects.
the kind 20000 notes were considered spam because they were coming from new npubs but I need to change that. need to rate limit based on IP and allow more fresh npubs.
thanks! i love your work too ❤️
You can do 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
These are all separate chatrooms.
Beautiful!
@Séimí Mac Síomón you can bitchat ursula at u151
Alright I’m gonna spread this on major commercial construction sites.

Perfect app for chatting with others on a ✈️ with no WiFi
It be cheaper to cut the throat of a chicken and spray the blood across the sand in the shape of a euro.
Summon the bitch.
Would love to learn how this works. I’m retarded.
So cool
Omg this is so cool
I can't figure out how to teleport to a location. Is it done by joining a channel named by the geohash?
This reminds me a lot of radio.garden - very cool!

Sorry I was talking about bitchat as an app, the geohash feature requires internet but extremely little.

thaeus01@primal.net eaibellocblz@iris.to infinitymegax@gmail.com
Why can I STILL not get anyone to download
@npub17slp...w9r8 !!! 🤬
“It’s a way to chat with people near by with out any cell or internet service”!!
It’s like 4MB. It asks no privacy permissions.
They just stare at me blankly and do nothing. 😩😤🫥
WTF!! Just download it and make the netWORK already.
View quoted note →Ooo like the cheating app for Pokémon
Wen downstream merge?
That was a good question.
We try to reuse existing NIPs for interoperability, geohashes are expressed with the g tag.
Does this kind 20000 do that?
But it was already on zapstore, what's the point of of downloading from Google?
Yep
yes. Try the OGeohash: 9q8yy
Thank you for all your work good sir 🫡
Where can I see this timestamp proof? Is there a link to a block and txid?
Is it one transcaction per proof, or is there some system to batch many proofs off-chain and just put one URL and hash in each block?
I have a vague of Peter Todd working on something with timestamps?
this is a great! we're busy testing it. this is ideal for communities where internet access is expensive, and people live on top of one another.
What does this mean ?
can i get TestFlight invite?
Will someone 🙏 explain this to me like I’m five? 5️⃣ 🔻
Sure, I see the beauty in bit c hat but don’t understand how the geohashes & nostr interact. Unless it’s for finding people like Pokémon. If it’s that simple … cool. 😎 Thanks in advance ( TIA )
View quoted note →Can you get start9 and umbrel to add a bitchat node app to help extend the coverage?
if there are two people in the city, how come there 0 people in the region/country?
nuked the bans. you may be able to send to nos.lol now.
changed the algo: when there are fresh npubs it should switch to IP based rate limiting. this could allow your app to seamlessly post.
lmk if you still can't post.

Someone claims to be privacy conscious but then develops a privacy related app that needs location services turned on for the app to function, what word can be used to describe this person?
GPT-4o mini
The person could be described as a hypocrite. This term refers to someone who claims to have certain beliefs or values but acts in contradiction to those beliefs. In this case, advocating for privacy while developing an app that requires location services can be seen as inconsistent with their stated values.

Can an Android app connect devices over BLE without needing Location Services?
GPT-40 mini
Yes, on Android 12 and above, an app can connect to BLE devices without Location Services if it runs in the foreground and has the necessary Bluetooth permissions.
😆. Don’t know who you broke up with but hope you’re healing ❤️🩹
So we’re all going back to visit our alien 👽 planet ancestry. I’m in 🤩✨
GPT5 came up with this and that made me think that if teleporting was a desired feature, such a map would be good for the app itself, so you can click where you want to teleport. But of course that also defeats the purpose of local communities. But people will teleport regardless of the feature being provided, so maybe the app should auto-detect who was ever reachable via BT and maintain these as non-teleporters. "hide teleporters" could then switch off the noise.
kinda want to keep it hard to use. iykyk type of thing.
having so much fun
