The current iOS release uses Nostr as a backend if you are out of BT range. It's live in the app store now.

bitchat 1.2.0 (purple) shipping to testflight tonight. this enables mutual favorites to automatically switch to a nostr-based transport when one of them leaves the mesh. only for private messages for now using NIP-17. basically people can bitchat in person, favorite each other at that time, and then can continue the conversation if internet is available through nostr, from any distance. no need to input a npub or know anything about nostr. it just works. https://github.com/permissionlesstech/bitchat/pull/358

That’s if you’ve already met the person within BT range. Apparently, I have no Nostriches anywhere near me.

Yeah I think that's the point. A mesh messenger that can keep working after you've left the mesh, communicating with people you've verified IRL. Not to be a new Nostr app for DMs.

I expect this will move fast, being open source & public domain.

I extended #Bitchat python to import a beacon for testing the BLE range. I have been walking around my house hunting packets! 🛜 My end goal is to build an @npub1aghr...mhct app that tunnels to a nostr relay and up. This is just the beginning of an in person social mesh network and decentralized exchange for businesses. I haven’t even decided what NIP beyond NIP-01 and the concept for NIP-17 Gift Wrapped Messages that @jack is working on for the local first BLE handshake. I have built a DEX example on NIP-99 at https://autodex.us that is currently hosted on an @npub1aghr...mhct as well. The future is now!
