Our mission is to bring Bitcoin Plebs & Devs into ham radio in order to help the bitcoin community to achieve technical proficiency in radio communication techniques so that they will be able to contribute to advancing the radio arts in alignment with the ethos of Bitcoin. ⚡️⚡️⚡️Let me know if there is ham radio content that you would like to see me repost. I will see it if you use #hamradio or @HR4BTC it in a reply. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Reticulum Overview Video:

An exciting project for mesh radio networks and much more.

nostr:npub17jrdg7cwr4fwew5nzg9r4jlwwalmzuxgw36kget78mqkvd72d6hsglvran just released a great video on reticulum. I highly recommend you watch this one.

Introduction:

Reticulum is a versatile and robust communication protocol designed for use across a variety of mediums, including Ethernet, Packet, WiFi, and Serial. Its flexibility extends to other protocols and technologies such as LoRa, TCP, UDP, I2P, and RNode, making it suitable for diverse networking environments.

Applications:

- Emergency Communication: Ideal for creating resilient communication networks in disaster-stricken areas where conventional infrastructure is unavailable.

- Nomadic Networking: Suitable for mobile and remote users who require reliable communication without depending on traditional networks.

- Hobbyist and Experimental Networks: Perfect for enthusiasts experimenting with decentralized networks and alternative communication technologies.

Conclusion:

Reticulum's adaptability and support for multiple communication protocols and hardware make it a powerful tool for anyone interested in building and experimenting with resilient, decentralized networks, including mesh radio networks.

PS:

Please let me know if you find or post any Reticulum content. This is a project I will be following, & reposting etc.

This is a great moment that was filmed from #btc2024 in the BV Citadel room.

Great job @average_gary & @Bitcoin Veterans .

Back home and already ordering blank tapes and thinking of projects involving radio data to tape.

Furthermore, I love the idea of using cassette tapes as bearer instruments for bitcoin.

I am currently thinking thru variations of “nostr:npub1f49twdlzlw667r74jz6t06xxlemd8gp2j7g77l76easpl8jsltvqvlzpez puts the ‘asset’ in ‘cassette’”.

If you think this sort of thing is cool, I recommend you follow nostr:npub1f49twdlzlw667r74jz6t06xxlemd8gp2j7g77l76easpl8jsltvqvlzpez . nostr:note1je0cvxw8ynfll2whnscgnqd7qggqxq8m8j3sjsnwjzfcd3jnlpqs5yrkh0

Q: Why Radio & Bitcoin?

A: Radio & Bitcoin are decentralized freedom technologies.

Watch the video below to see nostr:npub160t5zfxalddaccdc7xx30sentwa5lrr3rq4rtm38x99ynf8t0vwsvzyjc9 do a short talk on what folks are already doing with Radio & Bitcoin at his booth at #btc2024.

Also, follow nostr:npub160t5zfxalddaccdc7xx30sentwa5lrr3rq4rtm38x99ynf8t0vwsvzyjc9 on Nostr.

I met the amazing nostr:nprofile1qqszw48usckkhs9hcwt3q3np9k2z2c73s8qc0gu3uxqw66cqlq88ukcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7te3xsczue3h0ghxjmc3zk5tp yesterday and traded a pin for a tape.

He immediately understood SSTV transmissions 🤣📻📡

For the radio nerds like me out there that want to try to decodr this, here's the link to the transmission. I used the robot36 app and it should autodetect the mode but if not, it's PD90.

It was great meeting you.

Bitcoin eCash Sent via Mesh Network Demo:

A demo of Reticulum, Cashu and the project Nutband that combines them, in order to use a Cashu mint over Reticulum mesh network - in this case over long range radio, and without internet.

Great work @juraj

I am still thinking about the best way to address this topic. I don't want people to get hung up on the licensing requirement and deprive themselves of the benefits & enjoyment of radio because they don't like the current state of the relationship between the individual and the government.

Without being a jerk, I think it might be worth asking if you also deprive yourself of the benefits of driving cars because the government makes you get a permission slip in the form of a drivers license and enforces the display of license plates (analogous to having to use call sign on air) and regulates their conduct in automobiles.

I think except for rare occasions, this example would provide enough cognitive dissonance for folks to get past the hang up on getting a license for radio.

Thoughts?
