Doing some reading about #FIPS and #Reticulum this morning. At first glance there seems to be a fair bit of overlap, and it does look like FIPS does look to make use of radio in the near future (as well as WiFi mesh). But I'm teasing out the distinction of just how lightweight Reticulum aims to be, while how functional FIPS aims at. Seems like FIPS is a great way to make use of the existing infrastructure in a private and censorship proof way, with the ability to add additional networking off of the existing TCP/IP stack, while Reticulum really seems to shine at creating networks (including a global network) function effectively in as efficient a manner as possible, allowing for some VERY impressive networking on shoestring infrastructure, largely by dispensing with TCP/IP entirely and building from the ground up for efficiency.
Curious to see where both go, and will definitely be playing around with both.
