My First Meshtastic Network

I've seen several bigger Meshtastic networks in Europe that suffer from a dramatic unreliability.

Everything beyond 1 Hop is often unusable. The public chat room only sees fragments of discussions. This causes big frustration within the community.

MT clients are just too chatty. That most Roles can act as a (delayed) Router was IMHO a bad design decision.

Also that they blocked the term "Meshcore" on their Reddit Sub leaves a bad taste. Both projects share similar problems - they should cooperate instead of fight each other.

I wanted to fix this with my FreakWAN but I was never able to find a user base willing to validate the ideas of the routing I implemented. All the code is open source and easy to modify.

Write me if you are willing to experiment :)
