Negentropy syncing notes over meshtastic links would be cypherpunk af. fully distributed, p2p, signed application data over radio. Who needs ISPs? They are a chokepoint anyways. So many cool usecases to explore outside of microblogging. Imagine a lora setup for a local community, syncing notes between each other without any real internet infrastructure in place. To send a note would be simply writing it to your local database. When nodes are online at the same time they simply sync with each other or a local relay server. You could totally build distributed, low connectivity, store and forward applications this way if nostr was used for your application data. what meshtastic kit should i get to start hacking on these things @BLUESKY ?

I don’t like to be the party pooper. But from my short experience with Meshtastic, I feel bandwidth is not enough for this amount of data syncing. I could be wrong though.
Isn't part of LoRa the ability to have many simultaneuos non-conflicting transmissions because of the chirp modulation and error correction codes? Or is that already taken into account? Regardless, in rural areas this wouldn't be an issue.
