    Unfortunately, VoIP doesn't allow reliable OFDM communication... It's preferable to transmit and receive the audio as-is (without any compression).

    Thanks, great to hear :)

    QAM is using both carrier's amplitude and phase to encode information, so I/Q can be thought as [1]: I = amplitude*cos(phase) Q = amplitude*sin(phase) [1] http://whiteboard.ping.se…

    The original goal was transmitting ~10kB in a few seconds over an audio cable, so I didn't try to improve the transmission speed much further. I guess that adding error correction …

    Thanks a lot, I definitely agree :) I didn't try Google Nearby, since I was developing the modem to run on a desktop machine (but later I've created a simple Android app [1], suppo…

    Nice idea :) However, I'm not aware of any such protocol...

    No, I've used it only on my Linux machine. I guess it should also work on MacOS, since it depends on `numpy` [1] and `portaudio19-dev` [2] Debian packages (which should be installa…

    Both :) The initial use-case was performing air-gapped communication for signing Bitcoin transactions [1] on an offline machine. [1] https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/964

    Indeed, I am using OFDM [1], which uses several carriers, each modulated via QAM [2]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_frequency-division_... [2] https://en.wikipedia.o…

    Thanks! Using an audio cable (for better SNR), I have managed to achieve and sustain 60kbps for long periods time - so 3MB file should take ~7 minutes to transmit.

    Currently, it does not - mainly because I've tried to use all available bandwidth (to increase the bit-rate). Please take a look at https://github.com/quiet/quiet-js for an ultraso…

    ~3 meters is indeed quite a challenging scenario. I've tested it with the lowest bit-rate supported (1 kbps), but it doesn't work reliably. You can try my Android app [1] to reprod…

    Author here, thanks for posting this :) Would be happy to answer any question.

    I can suggest using TREZOR and Ledger Nano S hardware devices for common GnuPG operations, e.g. signatures and decryption. Please take a look at https://github.com/romanz/trezor-ag…
