I am into Meshtastic but the coverage, at least in Italy, is low and depends a lot on the position.
If you are in a city, you can get many neighbors nodes, otherwise you need to be at high altitude, relying on other nodes or use a directional antenna.
Anyway, it's a nice hobby to learn a lot about solar powered systems and antennas/propagation.
I think that one of the best use cases for Meshtastic is to use it during protests, especially in authoritarian countries.
- powgpu 1y agoyeah it is kinda like starting your own internet infrastructure. For protest there are already bluetooth messenger for that: https://briarproject.org https://briarproject.org but yeah it is only for Android.
- nunobrito 1y agoThat is a crappy project. Please try it yourself to see how badly it fails. At present there simply exist no good BLE messengers any more since recent updates to the BLE stack.
