bitchat is super exciting because the ultimate chokepoint of centralized control in the data age is your ISP. bitchat routes around ISPs.

i've been thinking about this problem for years. meshnets are the future of freedom.

i think we might just win y'all. LFG πŸ€™πŸš€

PS read Diamond Age

imagine a mature mesh network where every packet is cached and forwarded peer-to-peer. imagine the line between mobile devices and nostr relays begins to blur. every device is a client and a server. a pervasive and truly decentralized network blossoms across human geography, outside of state control.

the future is gonna be lit af

Dream scenario. + No cell bill needed

there's no free lunch, you will need to pay as you go with ecash

but you can also earn scrill forwarding other people's packets πŸ€™

Bandwidth

Demand precedes supply. The march of progress is not inevitable but it is predictable.

BLE isn't the only mesh network carrier, just the first. LoRa brings distance. Ad hoc wifi brings bandwidth. They will all add ecash payments.

nostr:nprofile1qyw8wumn8ghj7cn0wd68ytn0wfskuem9wdukuceww3jkx6p0qyv8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnrdpskjmtp9e5kuen09uqzqyyk76lq5ntlpmxzma8d9jrg8u2ralypa6arannd4twjljn5clkvqt2ulw enables pay-as-you-go anonymous ecash wifi access. Hashpool will enable any device with power and internet access to passively mine sats. Imagine an ASIC and a cashu wallet in every wifi router, passively mining ehash, establishing ad hoc wifi connections to nearby routers.

Profit will incentivize people to set up meshnet connections in popular areas. When you walk away from wifi, you can pay a little extra to send your packets through any available network path to the nearest backhaul link. If none is available, cache and forward.

The future is so bright I gotta wear sunglasses. πŸ˜Žσ …“σ …‘σ …£σ …˜σ …₯σ „²σ …Ÿσ „’σ „Άσ …€σ …•σ „³σ „Ίσ …Ÿσ …”σ „Έσ …‚σ …§σ …“σ …ͺσ …Ÿσ …¦σ „Όσ „’σ „‘σ … σ …’σ …žσ …σ …₯σ …’σ …‡σ …œσ …₯σ …‘σ …‡σ „Ίσ … σ …”σ „Έσ „½σ …₯σ …‰σ „’σ „Άσ …ͺσ …‘σ „³σ „©σ „³σ …‘σ …ˆσ …‚σ …šσ …’σ „’σ …œσ …₯σ …‰σ …ˆσ …†σ …šσ …“σ „’σ „Άσ „ σ …‰σ …ˆσ …ƒσ „²σ …Ÿσ …σ „Άσ … σ …ƒσ „±σ „²σ …σ „²σ …†σ „΄σ …§σ …ƒσ ……σ „Άσ „·σ …‰σ …ˆσ „³σ „²σ … σ „·σ „Άσ …˜σ „·σ „΅σ „²σ …˜σ …“σ „£σ …˜σ „±σ „½σ …‡σ „Άσ …σ „Ώσ …„σ „Ήσ „£σ „Ύσ …šσ …†σ …›σ „Ώσ „·σ …Šσ …˜σ „Ώσ „·σ „Ήσ …§σ „½σ …ͺσ …—σ „’σ …‰σ …ͺσ „±σ „‘σ „½σ „·σ „½σ „£σ …‰σ …‡σ „Άσ …›σ …‰σ …σ …σ „€σ …Šσ „΄σ „½σ …ͺ󠄽󠅝󠅅󠅧󠄾σ …ͺσ …Šσ …σ „Ύσ …ͺσ „΅σ …ͺσ „½σ …ͺ󠅗󠅩󠄾󠄷󠄢󠅝󠄿󠄷󠅆󠅝󠄾󠅄󠅅σ …ͺσ …Šσ „΄σ ……σ „ σ …Šσ …σ …Šσ …šσ …‰σ …ͺσ …”σ …›σ …‰σ …‡σ „Άσ …šσ …‡σ „³σ „΅σ „³σ …§σ …‰σ „Ήσ „₯σ „’σ …’σ …—σ „’σ …€σ …σ „’σ „Έσ …ˆσ „΄σ …Ÿσ „²σ …‘σ …“σ „²σ „Άσ …˜σ „ σ …—σ …‡σ …’σ …”σ „§σ …Ÿσ „·σ „²σ …‘σ …žσ …—σ „¦σ …Ÿσ …‚σ „£σ …žσ „·σ … σ „¨σ …‚σ …˜σ …˜σ …Šσ „»σ „Ύσ …˜σ …Šσ …†σ …—σ …—σ „Ύσ „¨σ „Ίσ …›σ …œσ …†σ „¦σ „Ίσ …‚σ …©σ „§σ …•σ „Ώσ …žσ …žσ …‚σ …‘σ „Ύσ …Šσ …‘σ …—σ …–σ …•σ „Ήσ …ƒσ „΄σ …’σ …ͺσ …‘σ …σ …„σ „½σ „Ώσ …‘σ „£σ …£σ „³σ …’σ „Ύσ …Ÿσ …Šσ „½σ …Šσ …˜σ …“σ „‘σ …—σ …—σ …‘σ …ƒσ „’σ „Όσ „§σ …σ „€σ …Ÿσ …œσ …ͺσ …šσ …“σ „¦σ …€σ …‚σ …”σ …ƒσ „Όσ ……σ „¨σ „€σ …„σ „Όσ …œσ „΄σ „¦σ „»σ „Ήσ „½σ „§σ …ˆσ „₯σ „¨σ „±σ …‰σ „΅σ …¨σ „Άσ „Ύσ …£σ …‚σ …σ „Ύσ …˜σ …“σ …œσ …—σ …—σ …˜σ …’σ „²σ „ σ …£σ …•σ …¨σ …“σ …’σ …©σ „Όσ …©σ …ƒσ „Άσ …§σ „Ώσ …‘σ …’σ …£σ …’σ …‘σ …˜σ …‘σ „Έσ …’σ …“σ „©σ …‘σ „σ …₯󠄽󠅖󠄸󠅁󠅇󠄳σ „₯σ „ σ …›σ „σ „€σ …ˆσ …£

Bandwidth is still an issue LoRa is worse than BLE5. You probably need full duplex for good comms

Theres only so much that is possible with non illegal RF
