Oddbean new post about login | logout So who on NOSTR is using, testing or doing dev on Reticulum Network? On RF, lora, or even tcp Amyone? The decentralized nature seems like a match made in heaven for decentralized nostr and not relying on domain names for relays. Not sure ok speeds though. #asknostr #hamradio #Meshtastic #lora #programming #networking
I've played with it some. I stopped short of connecting over the web, but it works like crazy locally. It does not give a crap what kind of network you use. Wifi to 915MHz to packet radio? No problem. Everybody better get used to the idea, because that's where Nostr will live one day.
Nope. At least, not yet. I am playing with #Meshtastic and to a lesser degree, raw #LoRa packets. I also wrote scripts to set up an 802.11 mesh network using whatever random hardware you have lying around. https://gitlab.com/adam949/guerrilla-radio Right now it is focused on Debian-based distros and tested with various models of Raspberry Pi boards. I haven't been actively working on guerrilla-radio lately on account of other projects taking priority.
Sweet. I'll take a look. I'm working on my nostr over packet HF(and vhf) radio client/server, and also using Reticulum. Have been thinking about switching my dev path from a single use KISS TNC packet directly, to using RN instead.(if I can figure out) That way you could use kiss, lora, tcp, or any other protocol in RN and it would be fully decentralized and robust and have forwarding, etc..
I admit, the idea of hopping across radio frequencies is pretty attractive!
Very much so! Currently I have test the following at my house using the sideband chat app on reticulum. Field Hf radio to my base hf radio from about 70 miles away. Base station sends the packet/message via lora meshtastic device(flashed as rnode) to another rnode in a different room. That rnode is also connected to wifi, and send the message to a device that isn't connected to the internet but on the same wifi. It's insane.
802.11 is like adhoc mode but with optional forwarding if I am correct?
I think that's right. I was able to get the mesh working with B.A.T.M.A.N. pretty easily so I never dug into the details.
If you have BMan running then ensure you turn off 802.11 forwarding (else you making it do double the work)
Yeah, I'll have to do some more packet dumps at some point to see what is really going on It was all very much hacked together, so it's entirely possible there are inefficiencies like this in there. 😆

Cashu over RN. Amazing
Yeah, Juraj tends to do things like this 😀
a simplified nostr relay, specifically for radio mesh, which supports only a handful of NIPs, incorporating delay tolerant networking 🤔
So...essentially that's my plan. My server will run a relay that strips all images, then sends to the radio. I have been playing around with AI image to text though. Was thinking about the images being run through an AI api to create a caption and send that. Not sure it'd worth it though. Would like to support zaps, well see. Images and long ass signatures and publeys are a no go on hf. Too many bytes. Trying to figure out to handle that aspect currently in my planning.
Have Reticulum with LXMF running around the house - LoRa, wifi and TCP. LoRa has better range than wifi, but haven't yet gotten my Android phone to connect with a dongle. Working irregularly on a very simple stupid text-mode web browser / http gateway for LXMF, for internet-down scenarios
Sweet. I have connected to my rnode via Bluetooth(i think). seemed to work well. Why working irregularly?
👍I'm into RF and LoRa. #programming Ive a roadmap towards hosting some LoRaWAN applications. NoStr definitely looks like a good option for a surface web bridge.
Awesome. I'll pay attention.
