bitchat 1.2.0 (purple) shipping to testflight tonight.

this enables mutual favorites to automatically switch to a nostr-based transport when one of them leaves the mesh. only for private messages for now using NIP-17.

basically people can bitchat in person, favorite each other at that time, and then can continue the conversation if internet is available through nostr, from any distance. no need to input a npub or know anything about nostr. it just works.

Thats going to make it significantly more useful already. But what is missing at least from 0.8 is a way for me to actually use it. Nobody near me is going to have that so it would be nice to have a notification if it manages to connect. Because theres no way this will be a use to me at home outsid...

Id still want to verify myself, but would be cool if you could touch 2 phones together for private message part and somehow the phones would highlight the encryption keys on each phone w matching letters, if not a match on both phones then no highlight.

favoriting someone you meet on bitchat in person is a form of “proof of personhood”. a potential way to rebuild the internet with more clarity around who is real versus bot

I accidentally read, “basically people can bitch-at in person…” and now will not ever be able to think of it any other way

Bitcoin is a very high-risk investment because it's a volatile asset. That means that Bitcoin values may rise or fall dramatically in value over a very short period_ even as quickly as a few hours or days. Like all cryptocurrencies and a good mentor will guide you through this though period to make ...
