@VogueLaGalere nice! However this kindnof breaks because sideband and meshchatx inject more data into LXMF packets for telemetry. I didn’t get into details too much tbh. In general anyone can add ‘protocol layer’ on top of reticulum by attaching a packet named scope. I for example was thinking of experimenting with specific telemetry packets, like Meahtastic has.

@circfruit Yes, but having a conversation about such a pure protocol as you are considering will lead to a more informed discussion if it can be parsed and a specification formulated from your code. Consideration of a protocol is best had when your have the terms of the specification defined, using AI to extract them ought to be very helpful.
