would be much more useful if instead of a useless chat room with anonymous people and ephemeral messages (that they're probably using only to kill time)
they could have a real mesh social network with permanent content and identities and structured threading conversations if they were sending nostr posts back and forth via their bluetooths
Checkoit samiz by nostr:nprofile1qqsxg45ph8gx0vdrvtzta6xal7v86frx6jvstsnvhrlvtehmwwh4epqpr9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuun0vfhhxct5wvhx7un89uq3vamnwvaz7tm9v3jkutnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uclz208 also they could do that
they whom could do what?
Bitchat team, would love for that to be a feature.
There is an already defined NIP for this, any app can just follow it to be interoperable. This way, People using nostr:npub1yjxerh4msvgqf230ej3648a28xhvxjstqr2rhpjt2eelf538e70scnl9d0 or Bitchat (or any other future app) will be able to sync and communicate https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/BE.md
do you know if anyone has tried to build something like samiz over meshtastic?
I was close to that some months ago. You only need 2 extra steps:
1. An add-on to make meshtastic send and receive messages from a local relay
2. A desktop implementation for Samiz to send and receive notes to the same local relay
When I checked, 1. already existed and I implemented 80% of 2. https://github.com/KoalaSat/samiz/pull/22
We are pretty close
👀
There are much more suitable protocols like Meshtastic and MeshCore, and they already implement what you’re talking about — Store & Forward and Room Server.
nostr is better
Actually, no. JSON is pretty crappy.
I said nostr, not json
Nostr is a crappy set of obscure tags (whose compatibility everyone gave up caring about long ago) in JSON, transmitted over WebSocket. Even Bitchat wipes its ass with Nostr 🤣 There's no other way to explain those shitty kind 1 events it produces.
nostr is not about a specific format, it's the relays first and foremost
I don't know about bitchat, does it produce nostr events? how?
