There’s a live stream tomorrow on the 'tube setting up a MeshCore companion for sending messages over radio waves directly instead of relying on internet providers.

I believe the only part of Meshcore that’s not FOSS is the official app, and there’s a FOSS alternative.
Personally, I’d use Meshcore. I tried MT for a month or so. I never saw a conversation, just a few scattered “test” messages. Meanwhile, on MC, I was away from my phone for 4 hours yesterday and came back to 250+ coherent messages in a conversation from all over the region (not to mention the hundreds of test messages).
MT is better in ad-hoc situations since clients can repeat messages, but MC is better for establishing a region-wide communication network.
That’s interesting. I had the same experience with Meshtastic - I ran it for a few months and almost all I saw were test messages and comments about the weather. That encourages me to dig out my radio bits and try MC 😆
Agreed. Oddly enough, my Meshtastic contacts are much farther away than my farthest MeshCore contacts but MeshCore seems to be much livelier.
