So valuable.
Love Bitchat. But it lacks some kind of compatibility with Meshtastic. Too few people live around me so LoRA is necessary...
meshtastic devs: step up
post me a link to the sauce so i dont get scam camped?
Why use LoRa when you can use 802.11ah?
(Aka WiFi Halow)
IEEE 802.11ah - Wikipedia
The nice thing about WiFi is that it uses OFDMA.
Low frequencies no longer mean low throughput. In theory you can use infinitely narrow frequency bands at low frequencies if you have infinitely linear hardware.
Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access - Wikipedia
had same idea awhile ago, hopefully someone figures it out.
over my head
can bitchat integrate with the existing meshtastic network of nodes that use LoRa to propagate messages offline

Bitchat is not real freedom tech as long as keeps tracking users' location data. Just saying😑...
For anyone watching this video, please remember that the maximum possible distance you can get is one mile because you can have a maximum of seven hops and with Bluetooth maximum range it equates to about one mile physically.
Something like #meshtastic, while it does require another physical device to be purchased, does get a lot farther.
If you wish to chat 1 mile over the mesh, BitChat can absolutely do that. If you want to chat 50 miles over a mesh, BitChat cannot do that, #meshtastic can.
Its their choice not to use a vpn
Great video!
Unfortunately very niche, but extremely handy in certain contexts.
