🌐 Bridging Bitchat + MeshCore: Resilient communication when infrastructure fails Bitchat = Bluetooth mesh on phones you already have (~100m range) MeshCore = LoRa long-range mesh (km+ with cheap hardware) The bridge connects them. Your phone talks to the city-wide mesh network. Perfect for disasters, protests, internet shutdowns.

First of all, although I like @82341f88…fbfbe6a2 a lot, I'm a fanboy of @50d94fc2…df281d63 who I consider a spiritual leader of the cypherpunk movement. He teaches in code. Second, about the range, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about:). And we're building it for the people shown on the picture below. How many of them have a battery powered Lora device in their pocket? Hopefully at least one. How many of them have a phone with Bluetooth? 100%. So take your head out of your ass, we're not building for your apartment to chat with your friends, there's a whole world out there that needs this yesterday. To know where the cops shooting to civilians are, if the communications work, if the flights after flying, which grocery store has food.

Right, so you flash meshcore onto a lora device, configure it and then it becomes a bridge?

Not any Meshcore, this bridge specifically. Original meshcore knows nothing about Bitchat And it has many bugs, looking forward to pull requests.
