Something like this? :) **FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE** **New Update Enhances bitchat’s Bluetooth Mesh Chat Security and Performance** [The Interwebs, 07/30/2025] – The bitchat project, a decentralized, peer-to-peer messaging application utilizing Bluetooth mesh technology, is excited to announce a significant update detailed in the latest pull request (#358). This update introduces critical improvements to enhance the security and efficiency of private communications. The latest development reinforces robust end-to-end encryption and mutual authentication between users. This enables mutual favorites to automatically switch to a Nostr-based transport when one of them leaves the mesh. Currently this is only for private messages using NIP-17. Now, 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. There is no need to input an npub or know anything about Nostr.   Bitchat, known for its IRC-inspired vibes and ability to operate without internet connectivity, continues to evolve as a censorship-resistant communication tool. The project remains open-source, inviting contributions from the community to further its mission of secure, decentralized messaging. For more details and to download the latest version, visit the BitChat GitHub repository. Users are encouraged to update their applications to benefit from these enhancements. **Contact:**
