Looks like voice communications are also possible. https://docs.gnunet.org/#First-steps-_002d-Using-GNUnet-Conversation https://docs.gnunet.org/#First-steps-_002d-Using-GNUnet-Conv... Now that makes it interesting; imagine a few micro routers such as the TpLink TL-MR3020 or any other similar device that once turned on boot their OpenWRT with GNUnet extensions then connect together allowing the users to talk each other no matter where they are located. That would be a killer application (probably along with codec2 over LoRa) for deployment in certain sensitive areas, provided the users can mask its traffic nature from sniffers.

  That is GNU Jami?

    Jami is a completely separate project, their only relation is both being GNU-affiliated.

    I have no idea if they use the same protocols and network, but a brief read at Jami features seems to indicate there is some sort of decentralization. My experience with it when it still was called Ring wasn't exactly positive though, I hope it got better in the meantime.

      The don't use the same network, and never have. Jami uses OpenDHT (https://jami.net/ces-2019/ https://jami.net/ces-2019/), GNUnet uses its own DHT (see for example https://grothoff.org/christian/nss2011.pdf https://grothoff.org/christian/nss2011.pdf, or the rather hacky (and not complete) bib page: https://bib.gnunet.org/#DHT https://bib.gnunet.org/#DHT)

      There has been some past talk[0] at least on the side of GNUnet to eventually look into integration between the projects. Currently they are completely distinct p2p implementations while sharing some ostensible similarities.

  Yep, exactly. LoRa would be a perfect fit, because GNUnet nodes could be become independent from commercial infrastructure for whole towns! The transport layer of GNUnet will be rewritten. The former so called plugins will be called communicators in the new architecture. Anybody who likes to write a LoRa communicator for GNUnet?
