Wait a minute, wait a minute…
Why is #Meshtastic using MQTT for inter-mesh backhauls instead of, well, #Veilid?
Imagine that not only wasn't there a central server, but there wasn't truly *any* server, and that the more nodes came online, the better it all worked instead of the worse.
100% crypto backend, none of this "should I or shouldn't I use TLS?” stuff. Native JSON API. The radios are too lightweight to run Veilid themselves, but they could talk to a Veilid node as easily as MQTT.
