First time trying this... this is a meshtastic channel for the nostr folk. its MQTT enabled. so im guessing we should be able to connect. location is disabled by default. but double check so that you dont dox yourself.

Channel called nostrmash... here is a QR if you are would like to test.

I'd still have to be close enough to you to actually use this channel, right?

I do not believe so. I set this up so that it works over the internet as well.

First time setting something like this, so not entirely sure.

My device needs to be connected to WiFi though right? And my rak 4631 doesn't have WiFi. My heltec-v3 does though. I can get that setup tomorrow.

i've never used MQTT before. i enabled wifi on my heltec. i made sure this channel was uplink and downlink enabled. i've senet messages. i guess lemme know if you get them?

oh i also turned on MQTT, using the default settings.

i still have 0 idea if im doing any of this right lol. believe i have MQTT enabled and my device is connected to WiFi.

i scanned the QR and tried to send a few messages in the channel, no idea if they're going anywhere. i have a max retransmission reached error.

Going to do this in a few hours. I'm a meshtastic runner configured with MQTT but no local peers. Would be nice to have something to play around with.

This actually might not be a good link. Let me know if it works.

Ok. Trying now.

Couldn't figure it out. I think I just need a private key for the channel?? But I'm new at this. Fell free to DM if you want to troubleshoot.

Actually I think I got it connected 👀

Nice!!! My node is out of charge. Let me try to get online and see if I find you!!
