we discovered a great use case for bitchat at a conference: panel moderator on the cypherpunk stage used it to collect questions from the audience. it worked great. no registration, no accounts, no qr codes, just pure mesh q&a. image

Imagine it at sporting events or concerts. Basically a group chat room for everyone there. Partyyyyyy!

I see this in the Google Play Store, but I thought that bitchat wasn't (yet) available in any stores, and was only available via a manual Indian of an apk. Is this the real app? image
Don’t trust, verify. Judging from the company name and rating I think you can guess 😜

This is awesome - was just hearing about difficulty with no signal at the Outside Lands concert… wonder if I can convince my teenager and her friends to give it a try. View quoted note →

I didn’t realise how massive this was when experiencing it. Great panel on sovereign individual ⚡️🙌🏾
Why doesn't bitchat keep running in the background? I had opened it and my girlfriend too, an hour later I went to the toilet outside the mountain cabin (without connection), but was out of paper. We weren't connected anymore so I couldn't message her for more paper haha. Any plans on improving this? It seems like you have to explicitly open the app both at the same time to make it work now.

This might be off topic. Is anyone creating a Nostr app store? Apple store is not my go to place. The implications /use cases for Bitchat is awesome .
How does it work? Like a chat-room? But they still need to install the legitimate Bitchat app right? I think that I the biggest effort now!

Fascinating. Bluetooth isn't the most reliable connection but seems like a good stepping stone until it improves.

with enough network effect many cool use cases become possible the same should be true for tons of other technologies that failed to gather enough network effect such as bitcoin and nostr
