Lead Hamster at HAMSTR - NOSTR over HF Radio HAMSTR is live, see github link in profile.

Me? I've had a lightning address for like 2 years, have had tons of zaps all day and every day, lol.

And much appreciated!

Ah! I can't ever imagine keeping something valuable and using a hosted platform for stuff I need in the future. Nostalgia I suppose.

nostr:npub1qmfywacdlsss32lzup3qvutzdr7q6xttun4le0a9uzns4vfstk2q52jnen lässt sich das irgendwie integrieren? Das wäre der absolute Wahnsinn 😍

Integrated how? With what?

What are you thinking?

Wow, what a husband. That's big time.

So far, just what AI have posted. I don't have it handy, but you should be able to go back about 3 weeks ago in my nostr posts and find one.

🚀 Announcing HAMSTR: NOSTR Over Ham Radio! 🚀

Take your NOSTR experience fully off-grid with HAMSTR - enabling decentralized communication through amateur radio. Now your NOSTR posts can travel through the airwaves! 📡

What started out as a simple, fun off-grid and camping project has morphed into an entirely different beast that is now geared towards the future of NOSTR, decentralization, and continuing the fight for censorship resistant communications and money.

Key features:

Full NOSTR functionality (post, reply, boost, search)

Works with any KISS-compatible TNC

Optimized for 300-600 baud operation

Following & Global feed support

Lightning address support ⚡

Secure key storage

⚠️ Current ALPHA supports single client-server setup (one user at a time). Future updates will bring:

Multi-user access control

Decentralized authentication

Global 24/7 server(s) access (ie: winlink) over HF radio

ZAP Support using NWC

FLDIGI support

Reticulum network integration

Perfect for:

Off-grid communication

Emergency preparedness

Decentralization advocates

Ham Radio enthusiasts

Current Requirements:

Amateur radio license

HF/VHF transceiver

KISS-compatible TNC

Python 3.7+ & Node.js 16+

Ready to try it? Check out the repo:

https://github.com/LibertyFarmer/hamstr

This is an FOSS project and just the initial ALPHA release - experienced ham radio operators welcome to test and contribute! While this is not hard to install and use, it is not for the weary or untechnical. But any hams with modern data experience should do just fine.

Lots of work to do still. Many features and improvements planned. There will be bugs no doubt.

Questions? Hit me up on NOSTR!

Mainly the fact I couldn't seem to get viscose and local branches syncing properly with remote. Then remote not syncing, and on and on. Had some bad files, old settings with local info, and so on.

This is only my 2nd repo ever, and the first was basically a 1 time push of 4 or 5 files, no branches, etc...

I am so bad at vscode, git, and github integrations. I have cost myself a day or two in releasing hamstr. Tomorrow looks like the day though!

HAMSTR: Alpha v0.00000021 coming 2/19/25!

#hamstr

and yes....this note was sent via HF Ham Radio Packets @ a distance of about 14 miles from field test to my home.

I love how on AI, energy is good, it'd restarting power plants. But with Bitcoin mining securing the most sound energy on the planet, it's wasteful.

Bitcoin has constant energy use attacks.

AI apparently has the opposite, haha. Ok
