I haven't studied the protocol but that seems like it has some...obvious routing issues. Airtags have a totally different architecture than what this protocol

  > I haven't studied the protocol but that seems like it has some...obvious routing issues. Yes indeed. I don't understand how the peer-to-peer relaying can possibly scale without some directed routing algorithm. If my phone running Briar is literally handing off every as-yet-undelivered message to every other phone running Briar, we're going to pretty quickly become overwhelmed. It'll have all the routing issues of a Wi-Fi mesh network, except at a vast scale. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_ad_hoc_network#Briar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_ad_hoc_network#Briar
