the idea is simple: bitchat geohash chats over local relays.

the location you chat in determines which relays you connect to. chatting in south america? use relays from argentina, brazil, and colombia. in europe? you connect to italy, france, and germany.

bitchat clients will have the same relay lists so they'll always know which relays everybody else uses. we'll update these lists every few months or when necessary. this may actually be the first nostr app that can chose from hundreds of relays but doesn't have a relay discovery problem: not the people you talk to determine the relays but the location you're chatting in.

think global, chat local.
