I have a bitchat version running here with gossip, source-based routing, and anti-entropy sync and I think it leveled up the Bluetooth mesh robustness and efficiency by 100x.
Crazy what you can do in a weekend these days.
Discussion
any thoughts on the possibility of using Meshtastic nodes to relay messages to Bitchat?
Like, adding Bluetooth to a meshtastic relay? 🤔
Can we use the Meshtastic relays to transmit Bitchat messages? I am talking out of my ass.
Well, I’m no coder. But, bitch@ uses Bluetooth to relay, whereas meshtastic uses a specific frequency dependent on region. So, I’m sure it’s possible, but you would need to convert the signal back and forth somehow.
But I use Bluetooth to connect to my phone to my meshtastic node
I’m sure to configure the settings. But, the meshtastic signal isn’t a Bluetooth signal. It’s a different protocol altogether, from my understanding at least.
Awesome! Can’t wait to try a live version of it soon. 😃
Incredible honour to be witnessing it!!! 🫡💜
