This is the original post if you are interested
So I ran a poll in the Bitcoin community over on X asking about Nostr.
Most of the replies said either that the network/audience on Nostr isn't big enough, or ot was a bit hard to use. Interesting that a lot of people that could be bothered to vote on the poll didn't even know about Nostr.
There were some insightful responses.
#nostr
that's just a bit of thinking out loud in response to your question, I don't really have good exposure to the underlying nostr tech
Theoretically you could build a dating app on top of nostr. If you look at how nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 works, where you have more private interactions.
If you think about the whole identity thing, you could build up a web of trust using nostr, and it wouldn't even need to be just a nerdy nostr thing, perhaps a "normal" looking dating app that uses nostr under the hood.
So I'm using nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg now, which feels a lot more like X/Twitter.
Out of the clients I've tried I think nostr:npub142gywvjkq0dv6nupggyn2euhx4nduwc7yz5f24ah9rpmunr2s39se3xrj0 is probably closer to an IG feel. There may be other ones, I haven't tried a heap of clients.
That's an interesting idea. I feel like I've heard of something like this before.
Not sure if anyone has come up with a good Globo <=> Based scoring scale. I guess this could almost be inverse ESG score.
Closest to IG in what way? Specific IG functionality that you want to see?
no, but having *enough* certainly extinguishes an amount of discomfort, or misery.
There is no Meshtastic dedicated hardware.
You can't deploy reticulum over Meshtastic.
People have packaged hardware and software together specifically for Meshtastic, but the same is true for Reticulum too.
You can buy a premade Reticulum rNode like this:
https://unsigned.io/shop/product/handheld-rnode/
which would be about equivalent to buying a pre-built Meshtastic powered device something like this:
https://muzi.works/products/r1
but these are both generic LoRa hardware running the relevant software stacks for either system and a swanky 3D printed case wrapped around them.
I accidentally replied to your linked note and not here.
No, Meshtastic isn't the hardware.
Both these things are more or less at the same level within the stack, but have different goals, and Reticulum will work on the same kind of low power LoRa hardware as Meshtastic, but Reticulum can also can use other network bearers like WIFI, Ethernet, etc.
Here's an interesting brief write up (not mine) that does a comparison.

Meshtastic isn't the only game in town. I was just reading up on Reticulum last night. That's a bit of a cool rabbit hole.

I think that's what I'd like to play around with.
There seems to be a pretty good ecosystem growing up around that too.
there's a bunch of other projects in that ecosystem that look good too
An alternative to meshtastic that looks worthy of investigation seems to be Reticulum.
I was just reading about that last night.

from what I've read it's not fully disabled on chrome and you can just toggle it back on. 3rd hand information.
