Thanks to everyone who posts here and the mod who created the comm.
I first heard of this concept in a thread here on Lemmy. So now learning about it and looking into everything. Thanks guys!!
Wait till you find out about meshcore that runs on the same hardware!
Whole new rabbit hole. Australia has all but entirely moved to meshcore due to the issues with scaling meshtastic in cities
A friend of mine said that meshcore can hop up to 64 times?
64 hops with 1 byte path hashes
32 hops with 2 byte path hashes
There’s also 3 byte path hashes but nobody uses them yet
Literally just released right?
The multi byte pathing? Yeah fresh out of the box
Doesn’t Meshcore require infrastructure that someone needs to set up (repeaters or something?) and the software costs license fees ?
No licence fees (unless you count specific proprietary firmwares which are not necessary at all), and any device can be a repeater
I recently learned about it from Benn Jordan – I think his anarchism video referenced both Metastatic and Reticulum. They’ve kinda been stuck in my head since I have a unihertz atom phone that’s supposed to have built in radio (400-480mhz). Was thinking I might see if I can set something up on that. I’m sure someone has already set something up on android, but I haven’t made the time yet.
