Wow! I was thinking of doing some tests using lora over reticulum to send notes, I would love to know more details about your experiment 👀
Discussion
Will let you know when I've made a bit more progress. Is reticulum legit?
I am attentive 👀 yes, reticulum is a very interesting project http://reticulum.network/ at the end is a protocol that makes you able to interconnect various transport protocols. I found the project by chance when I found nomadnet https://github.com/markqvist/NomadNet
I have been repeating over & over that this project is very interesting.
Next week with my new zfs pool going online, my mini server will finally be robust enough to handle prod workloads - playing with reticulum is at the very top of my todo.
I was thinking of putting a strfry relay behind an instance. What do you think? Anything else of interest to you?
I think it's a good idea, your intention is to make a relay accessible tru reticulum?
Yup! I was thinking that it would be beneficial for nostr to be accessible via radio & that this was the most straightforward way to do that. Not sure how much it’d be used, but it could be the start of a healthy mesh system.
I've read in the reticulum docs that there's a 222 byte limit for LoRa devices. Is there for support for message splitting? Small nostr kind 1 notes are approx 350 bytes so would need to split if sending signed notes from nodes.
How far did you get? Can you Nostr over Reticulum over Lora?
Only stood up Strfry this weekend & didn’t do much else besides notching another github readme pr correction lol. Too many distractions
I may need to get some regulars to assist & have reached out to a few contributors for the alley-oop. Hoping it’s fruitful! 🤞
How are you doing it?
Currently, connecting to an esp32 w/ Lora module and broadcasting the message from there to another esp32 w/ Lora that has an internet connection. That device sends the note to relays.
Nice! It would be good to see if a mesh configuration could be useful for communication between a network of devices and that these broadcast if they are connected to the Internet.
