So, am I completely insane or couldn't nostr events be transmitted wirelessly on APRS? There are several websockets based APRS gateways, and it's basically just a modified short message Ax.25 packet protocol for Ham radio location sharing or telemetrics. Seems totally doable, I just don't quite know where I'd start. Maybe a local relay that is modified to use existing APRS gateways and/or interface with APRS software connected to a radio?

This piques my interest because it opens the door to Nostr relays connecting without physical ISPs.

πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ Idk if I'm necessary doing this, I'm more thinking out loud. I know the puzzle pieces fit, but I'm currently too dumb to know how

This would be fucking boss. It would open up a huge network of communication and payment network that is unstoppable.

So a literal, physical relay?

Well, essentially yes! Just using radio to handle the connection VS relying on a hard line network. APRS already works like a TCP/IP mesh network with some relay servers that help support it. Feel like such a natural fit, and it's tech that been around for decades now.

Fascinating. I could see local paid relays where you could connect to Nostr or the net through someone's Start9.
