Funny you say that. I'm working on a nostr over ham radio app.
That sounds super interesting. Links?
Not yet! Let's call it pre pre pre alpha. Not working right alpha.
😂
is it allow to have sigs over the ham?
There are multiple ways to handle this.
None ideal.
My way: have a client and a server. The client connects to the server. The server signs notes, not the client.
You can send some sort of creds, id or other way to authenticate over radio.
I did this to save bandwidth mainly. The sig could be done client side, but then you are adding a ton of data and bytes.
The purpose of the signature isn't to obscure a message, rather prove identity/ownership. I see no reason this isn't legal in almost all if not all jurisdictions. But I'm no attorney.

Do.
It.
Ha. I am!
I hope to have a working client/server setup within a few months.
I'm not a dev though. Just self thought and when I have time to work on it.
I love those kinds of projects best.👍
It began last year. But I stopped for 6-8 months.
I'm back at it now.
I want to have the concept done by October ish.
It honestly was a project to browse nostr when camping with my son offgrid or places with no cell.
I use ham already for that.
Then I built a sport scores by request scraper.
The a bitcoin price getter.
Those are done via radio email(winlink).
Now nostr.... this one will use HF packet radio and likely a few other services.
In theory you could do the same over meshtastic easily, but less range for sure.
Wheres the GitHub link????
Do you know LORA network? It’s decentralized internet with low bandwidth. Sounds good.
never heard of it... I'll add it to the list of rabbit holes. if you take all the media out of Nostr it could totally work over low bandwidth for pure information dissemination.
it sounds like the "internet" on The Expanse
