I am not at this time running my own relay, rather using standard ones. You could easily run a custom one though. I built a custom packet system based on KISS AX25 packet specs. It handles the connections, disconnects, packet splitting, CRC checks on each packet split, retries, lost packet request, automatic detection of a bad packet and a bit more. I know nothing about wifi protocols however.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with most radio protocols (yet). Does the tool you built translate nostr events to analogue signals and back?

My hope is that I can send nostr events to a local relay over TCP/IP from my phone without any extra hardware and your relay can receive that nostr event directly from my relay over radio. Thanks to negentropy, we might be able to cut out the ISP without needing to attach radio equipment directly to our phones.

You will need to charge other relays for events that you send them over radio, because spectrum is a scarce resource.. nostr:nprofile1qqsypwwgtll74lqu4huvxzjwtjyxvrlkujt35rw8y026ke6ttesmg5gpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7wzpxlr, does negentropy require a lot of bandwidth?

Negentropy is specifically a reconciliation mechanism, it is very efficient in the way it creates the reconciliation set, but then you have to transmit the events. I would say that this is much more efficient for that reconciliation task and saves bandwidth compared to not using negentropy.

Technically, yes. That's what the software modem does. Data to sounds, then the other side does the opposite.

Awesome, then you have everything that's needed for your relay to sell notes to other people's relays! 😀

Looks like someone made a relay interface for meshtactic. This is super exciting, because reduces our reliance on TCP-IP without us needing to have analogue radio equipment in our pockets:
