I have a working version of bitchat android with full background persistance. can run in your pocket for days after closing, waiting for incoming messages, relaying the messages of others, with notifications when you receive a message. starts automatically after boot. battery use is minimal. all optional, user has full control.

remember when satoshi told @Sirius "fuck linux, lets implement minimize to tray for windows, that's going to increase the node count by 300%" — that's what I'm doing now.
