You remember how it felt to get a Gmail address in 2004? When you had to know someone to get in? And having one meant something? Or how about the people who grabbed the first dot coms in 1995?

There’s a window like that again right now, and most people don’t even know it’s open.

@perlman very very cool post. I’m on Meshtastic - I wonder how ret. can scale and move away from public tcp/IP and towards other mediums such as Lora.

Question: is reticulum still being developed? I thought the main dev made a blog post that he’s stepping down from the project.

@ccwod On the LoRa question: this is actually one of Reticulum's quiet superpowers! It was never really an internet protocol wearing a mesh costume. It was designed from day one to be transport-agnostic. TCP/IP is just the easy front door for newcomers. It runs natively over LoRa, packet radio, serial links, and can use multiple interfaces at once. LFG! 🚀 (sorry i got excited)

@perlman for sure! I understand. I think the question for me still is what a wireless, decentralized network layer could look like, especially poking into something like NomadNet. I think reticulum is A+ in terms of dynamic network architecture, but Meshtastic doesn’t really hold a leaf to the wind in terms of supporting anything more than basic text messages, and less so at scale. Im just trying to envision what low-barrier-entry high bandwidth intermediary links could look like
