Last Notes
does this make me stronger or weaker?
bitchat now has:
- photos/audio notes in bluetooth mesh
- better routing algorithm for stabler and longer range meshes
- uses @torproject's arti framework for speed and reliability
- audited by 3rd party security group and addressed all findings

the act of creation is the only thing that justifies existence
nostr wins if it stops trying to be a twitter clone and starts being the invisible layer underneath apps you actually want to use. like bitchat for location-based messaging, diVine for entertainment, whitenoise for private messaging, zap.stream for streaming, shakespeare for vibe coding, etc.
it wins by unbundling into 50 different apps that all talk to each other, rather than one giant app/corp that traps you. it's all about the ecosystem.
it’s a tough one to remember

fixed in newest TestFlight and submitted to app store
web apps are already migrating to georelays. the list is public on GitHub so all can stay in sync.

yes it does unfortunately. but hopefully the web apps will be more directed as a result. will see.
code is the only source of truth.

bitchat now uses georelays for geohash chats. uses the 5 known relays closest to any given geohash. helps with latency and makes spam more difficult. and further decentralizes chat.
in app store now (1.3.2). android play store version does the same.

def. working on hardening it now.
migrating to georelays on bitchat. find the closest relays for any one geohash and use them instead of the big default ones.

hopefully this will inspire more relay ops to accept kind 20000 and better distribute relays globally (we need more smaller ones).
