If you don't believe it or don't get it, I don't have the time to try to convince you, sorry.

Wow Yakihonne is super nice!

Going to be hard to rip me away from Nostur right now though. I don’t know what is it about it, but I appreciate the sheer number of fine tuned control in settings.

Gradually then suddenly

Upgrading my relay then heading to bed 🤞

Whipped up a quick Nostr client...testing a note post.

Replying to Avatar Liberty Farmer

Alright nostriches. I finally have enough done and feel comfortable to share my progress on HAMSTR.

You are about to witness perhaps the first ever(well outside of the 2,000 ones I have done testing, lol) nostr note retrieved exclusively over HF packet ham radio.

There is no Internet access on this browser at the moment at all.

It is a client - server setup. The client is fully off-grid. Only the server can connect to the internet. For this test, the server is was roughly 500 feet away using dummy loads on my radios putting out virtually zero watts. Yes, not far, but in theory it would similar at hundreds and even thousands of miles away as well.

This test pulls my most recent notes from my fake dev account following list. In this case 1 note. The number of notes is configurable, but keep in mind HF Packet Radio is SLOW. This one note takes quite a while for just tiny note from nostr:nprofile1qqsywt6ypu57lxtwj2scdwxnyrl3sry9typcstje65x7rw9a2e5nq8sprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqydhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnzd96xxmmfdecxzunt9e3k7mgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mq9hxafw. Future versions will have FM Data packets as well, but line of sight FM was not my goal. Global coverage was. HF radio is the only way for that.

Most functionality is now working, just ironing out some things and lots of bugs. Following, global, search, hash tags, npub search display names, are all basically working. Soon replies.

What started out as a project for me to use some social media and take camping and do some off-grid nostr stuff has now morphed into something that I believe will be able to help millions of people be able to bypass oppressive regimes, firewalls, tyranny, and allow them to interact with the nostr network using nothing but ham radios. This could be massive for learning, comms, and overall freedom. Could have a server running in France, and connect to it from Russia or Afghanistan for example. Easily within HF radio reach for half the world.

Much like the winlink email network, I hope people will be able to take my project and setup servers all around the world for people to access, read, write notes, send DM's, use various nostr kinds and even send Bitcoin(on chain offline transactions over HF radio and nostr coming soon).

Lots to come!

Note: pardon the phone screen cap, it isn't quite working fully android Firefox or chrome yet.

Amazing work!

Tether back on Bitcoin network and apparently works through Lightning...very interesting.

I am excited to announce that nostr:nprofile1qqswa8vhnelpgx9f7arjhtuzmjtqs2sdgfgmw77tzu9xankf87kl7eqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyfhwumn8ghj7am0wsh82arcduhx7mn99uq3kamnwvaz7tmgv9mx2m3wv93kx6t0d3ujuum0vd5kzmp0gy8dgf is now a core maintainer of the #haven relay project.

Anthony has selflessly dedicated himself to the project time and time again from testing, bug reporting and most importantly solid PRs that have improved the project over time.

Appreciate all your hard work Anthony and congratulations on joining the project!

Very cool! I assumed he already was by looking at the huge number of PRs with his name on them 🥳

Want to make sure my new wallet set up is working correct.
