I need to join a mqtt server   but I did add Nostr channel for my local mesh  

 ah nice, yeah im not connected to mqtt either but i do see a ton of nodes... longfast 

 I'm around-ish 

 Aspirant mesher here, haven't cracked the ice yet,  observing now  

 Tried adding the channel. Keeps changing the psk from No== to Ng== after saving. Not sure why. Tried on both Android and Web client adding the channel.  

 hm, it let me do it but maybe its not a valid key?  im a mesh noob..  ill try to find out. 

 in PNW? You probably won't be getting any packets from my repeaters in Budapest or from my handheld in Belgrade 

 yep i know 😎 but someday i might either have an mqtt link or etc and then nostr chan 🎉, you wouldnt happen to know if No== is a valid private key for the channel?  im still learning. 

 it looks like base64 in any case
