Bitchat：藍牙 + 網路的通訊軟體

#bitchat #bluetooth #bridgefy #e2ee #encryption #EndToEnd #firechat #im #instant #internet #messenger #network #privacy #protocol #security #signal

Just saw found out about #bitchat from a hacker news post.
Always curious about #decentralised communication networks, specially ones not requiring internet.
Does anyone know how it compares with apps like #briar ?

🚀 Oh, look! Another app claiming to be the savior of the #disconnected. #Bitchat promises magical internet-free #chats, because clearly, the problem in Gaza is not the bombings, but the lack of texting options. 📱✨ Let's download it and solve world peace with emojis! 🤦‍♂️🌍

Bitchat for Gaza – messaging without internet

#HackerNews #Bitchat #Gaza #messaging #technology #internet #access

А есть тут хоть кто-то, кто встречал живых людей в #Bitchat или #Briar? Я вот там только собственные смартфоны, подключенные для тестов видел. Телепорт тоже не особо помогает: интернет-соединение там работает через Tor, и, если Tor заблокирован, без мостов уже не подключиться. И нужны именно непубличные мосты, а не встроенные.

Неужели они вообще не думали о том, что кто-то будет пользоваться этими штуками в местах, где они действительно нужны?

It looks like #Bitchat might be gathering some traction in Gaza?

As a reminder, bitchat is a mesh network using your phone's bluetooth. So even without internet, you could have private messages sent from phone to phones.

Gaza having such a high population density and because Israel is known to have penetrated WhatsApp, this might be a good off-the-grid solution

Appreciate the concern. I simply try to find the most recent #textmode news and updates. My posts aren’t exactly endorsements but my feed is to share updates and info to raise awareness about text-based tech and experimental platforms like #Bitchat. The goal is to inform, not promote or exploit.

‏أصبح الخوف من الانقطاع عن الشبكة هاجسًا مشتركًا. سواء كان ذلك بسبب كارثة طبيعية تدمر البنية التحتية،أو نتيجة لقطع متعمد للإنترنت تفرضه السلطات،في هذا السياق، يظهر تطبيق ⁦‪#Bitchat‬⁩ الذي أطلقه ⁧‫#جاك_دورسي‬⁩، كحل جذري يعد بالاتصال دون الحاجة إلى إنترنت.

🇯🇲 #Bitchat lidera las descargas en Jamaica tras el huracán Melissa. La app de comunicación offline vía Bluetooth se convierte en salvavidas cuando la conectividad falla. Una solución tecnológica vital en momentos de crisis.

#Bitchat v1.5.1?

Interesting

Most recent version I'd heard of on #Github is v1.4.4

Here: https://github.com/permissionlesstech/bitchat/releases

Auf der Insel #Jamaika bereiten sich die Menschen gerade auf einen #Hurricane vor und nutzen zur Kommunikation #Bitchat!

Wünschen wir diesen Menschen alles Gute, damit alle überleben!

Die #Geohash Funktion von Bitchat kann echt nützlich sein!

Bitchat: The Offline Messaging App That Could Save Your Life

When the grid goes down—disasters, blackouts, or crackdowns—Bitchat keeps you connected via Bluetooth, no internet needed. Jack Dorsey's creation isn't just chat; it's a lifeline. Could it save yours? Dive in. #Bitchat #OfflineSurvival #JackDorsey

Mike @mmasnick: "#Jack sort of vibe-coded over a weekend, I guess, a #mesh network system called #BitChat. I didn't realize it used #Nostr under the hood…"
@rabble: "It uses #Bluetooth as the primary messaging thing of discovering people. I'm a bit involved with it… We now know through looking at the App Store stuff for BitChat… we can see when a country is having a crisis because all of a sudden the BitChat installs spike up.
…today we were on a call where we were like, "What's going on in #Brazil?" Huh? Because two or three days ago, the installs spiked up and Brazil became the number one country for BitChat."

🔧 Új eszközzel bővült a #MeshStatic eszköztáram, és eddig ez tűnik a legpraktikusabbnak! 🎉 Ugyanakkor újra feltelepítettem a #BitChat alkalmazást, ami sokat fejlődött – most már geolokációval is használható! 🌍📍 Mesh vagy Bluetooth hálózaton tökéletes a kommunikációra, de sajnos folyamatosan kéri a lokációs hozzáférést, ami nekem egy kicsit negatív. 😕 Tudom, hogy szükséges a Bluetooth kapcsolatokhoz, de mégis… 🤔

With recent controversy happening about #chatcontrol I'm testing #bitchat, a decentral peer-to-peer messenger. Not the universal solution but certainly fine for specific use cases

#bitchat ist ein dezentraler P2P Messenger, der über Bluetooth Mesh-Netzwerke funktioniert. Es ist kein Internet erforderlich, keine Server, keine Telefonnummern. Kann Sinn machen, wenn Internet ausfällt und bei große Massen Veranstaltungen wie Demos oder Festivals. bitchat.free
