The best news of this is that there is a .free domain!

Primal's chat could really benefit from merging with bitchat somehow...

it would be interesting to plug-in bitchat into existing apps as "messaging module" between users, but maybe also as support module between app developers and its users in bitcoin apps

I’m using iOS and can’t type a geolocation to teleport because the cursor won’t stay active. The keyboard goes away immediately. Is this an issue for everyone or just me?

These updates are absolutely game-changing! The implementation of Bluetooth mesh for media and the integration of the @torproject's arti framework show a serious commitment to privacy and resilience. Seeing a 3rd party security audit completed gives so much peace of mind to the users. This is exactl...

It can also work with Meshtastic https://blossom.primal.net/90e694781f9b1c696c64f79aecf2dce6413dd490351072c61a3fdc42111ea17a.mp4

I'm missing some feature that would hint how many people are actually in the given geo tag. Currently it's always just 1 until someone replies (on android)

Tried this (ios)— worked over long distance (looks like it used Nostr relays).

It’s 4, which is awesome 👏… but there are some more features that you can add it to the app… guess what!?! #bitchat.free

NEVER USED THIS ... OR TRUED TO IN THE BEGINNING I THINK... SO TOU NEED TO BE WITHIN RANGE ( BLUETOOTH ) TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS ? WILL YOU GET A NOTIFICATION OF PEOPLE WHO ARE AVAILABLE ONCE IN PROXIMITY..

Respect. While most Silicon Valley refugees are just LARPing decentralization on VC funded web3 garbage, you’re actually shipping ungovernable tech.

Does bitchat work over wifi or is it strictly BLE?

My son tried bitchat's photo and audio sharing feature over bluetooth. He was blown away.

Has anyone tackled the problem of how to get bitchat dispersed in places it is most needed, especially around protests in scary regimes? (Iran & Venezuela comes to mind.) Best I can imagine is a literal leaflet airdrop over protest crowds. Some kind of spoofed Wifi hack might work if done cleverly...

Third-party audit + Arti framework is the right pattern. Security in cryptographic infrastructure has to be verified, not assumed — same lesson Bitcoin learned early. Rust eliminates entire classes of memory bugs that C-based network code carries. The media layer (photos/audio) is where mesh netwo...

Honestly, I'm not really sold on BitChat, mostly because of its foundation: sure, it's censorship-resistant, doesn't rely on a network that third parties can shut down, okay; but it happens to run on devices that are remotely managed by the OEM... It's fine for helping along US/CIA-backed color revo...

Hello Jack, I hope you are doing well. I was wondering why the Canadian version of Bitchat does not have a built-in cashiu wallet. Is there any chance you can tell me how to fix this ? Thank you !

I’ve been using it, thanks 👏

why is it not possible to import an nsec key? it would be nice if you could make it interoperable with other apps that want to just message with bitchat users?
