Well, my stance on #MeshCore has changed, though i still have issues with both protocols. I feel that #meshtastic is going to be much more resliant in the event of an emergency for my local neighborhood and other close groups.
If i want to socialize and talk to folks in the next major city over, MeshCore has the range and hashtag channels that enable that. Not so helpful when were trying to organize food distribution and water drops within walking distance. The need to mannualy change the configuration to local mesh networks and it takes it to a different band than the normal meshcore frequencies meaning it doesnt get all those benefits to do local meshing just feels like i'll be better off trying to have a cheap Heltec that can dual boot either firmware...
