Lots of interesting stuff there - thanks :) We're using https://github.com/mwarning/meshnet-lab https://github.com/mwarning/meshnet-lab rather than imunes.net for network simulation currently, but will take a look.
Power usage is looking pretty positive so far; as long as we route the Matrix traffic over the routing topology rather than going full-mesh it should minimise radio usage (the main battery suck, other than screen).
For store-and-forward, honestly using P2P Nodes as intermediaries is an okay approach other than exposing metadata to them. Our plan in the longer term is to switch to loopix-style mixnets to obfuscate the store and forwarding, a la nym.
In terms of joining the network by deriving a private key from a passphrase... yup, that could be cute, although slightly terrifying in terms of the risk of weak passphrases :)
We're hoping to get the P2P network stable in the coming year (although we were also aiming for this year originally :P)
- h0p3 5y agoYou are exceptionally polite speaking with lunatics like me (I've seen that multiple times from you). I'm [[grateful]] for your candid responses. In case it may be useful, I will continue thinking about it here: https://philosopher.life/#2021.11.17%20-%20HN%20Log%3A%20Arathorn%20%26%20P2P%20Matrix https://philosopher.life/#2021.11.17%20-%20HN%20Log%3A%20Ara.... You already know, but it is my duty to acknowledge that you work on behalf of Humanity and quite a bit may ride on your success. You have a difficult ship to steer without enough resources, and I wish you had military-level funding for what is ideally a military-grade project. If you ever directly need something from me, please let me know. Thank you again for your time and willingness to listen to me, sir.
