Hello World! I'm Nutty. Been a fan of #Nostr for a few years now. Recently been intrigued by #Meshtastic and then #Reticulum. I designed a protocol that I've been calling Ecorn (Encrypted Content Over Reticulum Network) to be a private, more personal Nostr. It's supposed to be complimentary where Nostr is the public square used for outreach and discovery. Ecorn is the private layer for close friends and family. Ecorn could be called a meaning layer. In a eli5 way, ecorn turns your lxmf reticulum inbox into private relay. All lxmf encrypted packets contain encrypted metadata. Arrr is my pilot app which takes these signed schema in you inbox and turns it into a rich social app. You post content to your groups. Which are MLS groups. Meaning your followers are added to "group chat" where you are exchanging signed schema to lxmf inboxes. Creators can set public engagement shared with the MLS group or private where only the creator sees likes and replies. Ecorn provides a ecorn123abc style address. Reticulum can get tricky with lxst, lxmf, id etc. Ecorn addresses are 24 words that incorporate everything. Below is a short demo on a pretty early/rough Arrr app. Lots of junk but the left account has the middle and right accounts added to their friends group with public engagement. They post a note and others like and reply. MLS gets updated and engagement sent out to others. Tested some rnodes for Lora and things seem to work fine. Ble testing needs some work still. I'm hoping for a ecorn spec release this month and Arrr shortly after.
