Ham Radio does not have enough throughput to meaningfully spread information. It is only useful if to do something that was planned beforehand through another medium.
It would be interesting to see if things like #LoRa #Messtastic could be incorporated into the #Bitcoin network. Broadcasting transactions, and maybe syncing nodes..🧡😊
transactions sure but syncing nodes is much more demanding
https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/ is excellent software for an ever changing large network with no coordinator
Have you considered the potential of use something like Zerosync to compress the data first? There are tradeoffs involved, it could be used to sync nodes up. https://youtu.be/rvOrbejf6_A
This is absolutely true. Good idea. However, if this network is to be useful for an extended time away from other networks it needs to support more complex tasks like downloading packages and OS images. These things could be implemented over LoRA however it makes it difficult to access documentation for the thing you just downloaded and are trying to use, etc. I think reaching this level of compression is possible eventually but we are not there yet for every service and use case.
Using Nostr through LoRA would be a terrible user experience. Many have tried to do SSH over LoRA, takes forever. You could make it faster by removing IP headers in a custom protocol and not encrypting but then everybody knows what posts you are retrieving. and no images or videos, ever. I learn a lot from visual content on here and would not want to give it up!
