Does anyone if briar relays traffic? like if at least one person in a wifi network has briar and they also connect by bluetooth to another person within an adjacent wifi network, does it relay messages from one end of the city to the other over dozens of devices?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Here's a funny example of making it harder to find: https://youtu.be/W_F4rEaRduk?t=178
>the more people who use it, the more robust and far-reaching and reliable it gets. I was under the opposite impression, that meshtastic's whole problem is that it doesn't scale well at all.
Whoa, I was just mentioning in another post how I have my family member install bitchat just in case for emergencies. This is a very interesting alternative. With a travel router, I can significantly expand the chat radius compared to bitchat's purely BLE approach. Edit: Boo, no iOS app
Is this actually true? Is anyone in Iran using Briar?
I doubt this will actually work though except in the densest city.
What about Jack Dorsey's Bitchat . Could be useful in india (especially Kashmir) where govt shut down internet during protest
I'm not sure so many Iranians have $1000 iphones to use hipster bitchat; cheaper android clients are more the norm.
