Rapidly moving my meshtatic nodes over to meshcore 🤘🏿

Going very smoothly so far. Meshcore is notably very fast at message delivery and delivery confirmations back to the sender.

Thinking I'll leave my primary meshtatic infrastructure nodes up and build meshcore nodes to deploy next to them so as the network matures I can do head to head comparisons.

Now back to the positive.

All is not lost, meshtastic is the biggest LoRa mesh and it sucks BUT its not the only one and the same mobile nodes and repeaters you'd use for meshtastic can be used on any other LoRa mesh.

I think the most exciting meshtastic alternative is Reticulum. It exists already, has a routing and security approach for the real world but might be too opinionated in some ways for some users. It's a bit of a grander vision

2024 rolls around, the cryptobro hype has died off, the corporate hold is doing its thing on TTN and well... all other types of public comms are getting spied on like no ones business.

Time to go catch up on the LoRa mesh going ons.

I noticed meshtastic was close to FINALLY merging their public/private key system in the fall last year and decided it finally hit my first min. bar for re-review.

Mind you they were kinda making misleading encryption claims up to this point.

First the good.

The core tech of LoRa remains amazing.

The hardware has gotten DIRT CHEAP.

The idea that anyone can go buy a $10 circuit board, 3d print a case and have a radio that can talk privately to satellites or across town IS ground breaking!

The biggest break through lately is that the hardware IS good AND cheap at long last!

We're making progress on building a #Meshtastic network across PHL! In the past few weeks we've shown it's possible to send messages 5 miles or more across the city via #LoRa nodes in high places. If you work in a tall building, get in touch!

For beginners, we're running our Meshtastic 101 class on Sunday, 7/30 at 1 p.m.:

Our next two virtual Meshtastic meetups are Thursday, 7/27 and Thursday, 8/3 from 7 to 9 p.m.:
