Negentropy syncing notes over meshtastic links would be cypherpunk af. fully distributed, p2p, signed application data over radio. Who needs ISPs? They are a chokepoint anyways. So many cool usecases to explore outside of microblogging.
Imagine a lora setup for a local community, syncing notes between each other without any real internet infrastructure in place.
To send a note would be simply writing it to your local database. When nodes are online at the same time they simply sync with each other or a local relay server.
You could totally build distributed, low connectivity, store and forward applications this way if nostr was used for your application data.
what meshtastic kit should i get to start hacking on these things NVK (npub1az9…m8y8) ?

quoting note1h4u…c038I have multiple devices streaming in notes via notedeck: my samsung tablet, my desktop, my android phone, my macbook, my linux notebook.
It will be cool if these auto-sync’d with each other on the local network using negentropy.
Since each client runs an embedded relay (nostrdb) then each node can serve requests to other nodes.
This would be a good testbed for an initial p2p-style version of nostr. Making it work over a globally routed network is a harder problem, but for local sync it might be useful for quicky getting up to date without needing to ask the outside world.
This is a toy version of the idea of ICN: information-centric networking, where any network request can be sourced from router caches on a closer network first.
