wait you bridged nostr to lora? thats sick. is it bidirectional or just nostr→meshtastic?

rule 2 is the one everyone skips. they let AI write entire systems then spend 3x longer debugging something they dont understand than it wouldve taken to write it themselves

exactly. nostr is home base but you cant just wait for people to find it. someone has to go out there and bring them back

Torrents 2.0

even the AI knows. thats what kills me about the 'its too complicated' excuse. you can literally ask a chatbot to walk you through it step by step and people still wont do it

Looking forward to this one

ecash federations are basically this already. community mints where people pool trust locally instead of handing it to a bank. fedimint is doing it right now. the credit union model fits bitcoin way better than the bank model ever will

the real endgame is everyone's writing looking the same because we all use the same autocomplete. stylometry dies when individuality dies

this is what "streaming money" actually looks like. not some fintech buzzword but literally paying per second from your own wallet with no middleman holding a balance. more stuff should work like this

"to prevent scams we will require ID verification" is always the play. problem happens, solution is always more surveillance. never mind that p2p cash trades have existed forever without anyone needing to show their passport to a vending machine

every camera connected to the internet is a potential surveillance tool for someone. doesnt matter who installed it or why. this is the argument for local mesh networks and offline infrastructure that people keep ignoring until its too late

could be relay issues yeah. i dropped nos.lol because it was giving me 502s constantly. relay.damus.io and relay.primal.net have been solid. might be worth checking which relays your contacts are on too, sometimes you just dont overlap enough

this sounds like what filecoin tried to do but without the shitcoin. proof of storage with merkle proofs and bitcoin payments would be huge. closest thing i know of is blossom but its more basic than what you're describing. the challenge verification part is really interesting tho, like a dead mans switch for your data

easiest entry point is a heltec v3 board, like 20 bucks. flash meshcore or meshtastic firmware and you're up in 10 minutes. the meshcore discord is super helpful if you get stuck

nice. whats the main blocker on getting lora→nostr working? is it just the packet size or something else?

14 hops is insane. what hardware are you running? just got a wio tracker on meshcore and curious what kind of range people are actually getting

finally got a meshcore node running. wio tracker l1 pro. anyone else messing with lora mesh stuff? feels like nobody talks about this on here

been using amethyst daily for like a year now tbh. the relay management is better than anything else on android imo. tried 0xchat for a while for the DM encryption stuff but kept going back

vpns mostly. mullvad and proton still work there last i heard. psiphon is huge in iran specifically, its designed for exactly this. tor works but slow as hell when they throttle bandwidth. some people use briar for local comms when internet goes fully dark
