1/ Bitchat, nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwd4hhxarj9ec82csafn79u Dorsey's decentralized messaging service

No Internet, no phone number, no central server. Bitchat is Bluetooth + Nostr, designed to work everywhere.

2/ How it works today

➥ Bluetooth mesh: offline messages locally (up to 300 m, relay between phones).

➥ Nostr: messages relayed via decentralized servers.

➥ Geohash: discussions organized by geographical zones. (geohash.softeng.co/Fr)

➥ No account, just a nickname, everything encrypted.

3/ The new Geohash

Bitchat places you in lounges based on your geographical area (no exact GPS).

You can change zones ("teleport") to talk to other communities around the world. (I tested it yesterday and it works great).

4/ An app designed for resilience

➥ Works even without a mobile network

➥ Useful in the event of outages, demonstrations, isolated areas

➥ Censorship-resistant, decentralized

5/ The link with Bitcoin

Bitchat is based on Nostr, which already integrates the Lightning Network via :

- NIP-57: Lightning tips ("zaps")

- NIP-47: secure connection to Lightning wallets

6/ Integrated payments... soon

The devs are testing integrated micro-payments:

➥ P2P tips

➥ Refundable anti-spam fees

➥ Paid access to certain lounges

➥ Technically ready thanks to Nostr + Lightning, but not yet activated for everyone.

7/ Current status

➥ Bluetooth messaging and Nostr: already functional

➥ Geohash and teleportation: recently released

➥ Lightning integrated on the infra side, internal tests in progress

8/ Vision

Bitchat aims to become the Bitcoin-native messaging service: An offline-first tool, encrypted, anonymous and monetized in sats. Designed for a world where the Internet may fall, but communication and payments must continue.
