NostrMesh: Self-Healing ESP32 Nostr-Arduino Based Mesh-Network
"The simplicity of the nostr-protocol, makes it ideal for use with mesh-networking."
- "Started nostrmesh: up to 20 MBit/s, microcontroller, nostr powered, self-healing mesh network. Been thinking/getting excited about this project for a while! (made possible by @blackcoffeebtc excellent nostr-arduino library)," developer Ben Arc wrote on Twitter.
- "While utilizing WiFi for node connections imposes a range limitation of less than 200 meters, it significantly boosts bandwidth, thereby enabling the sharing of internet access across the mesh network."
- "ESP32 microcontrollers are both highly affordable and widely accessible. With a mere $1 cost for the basic controller, nodes can be effortlessly integrated into passive electronics such as light bulbs, facilitating the creation of a robust mesh network."
- Each nostrmesh node has the ability to:
- Establish a WiFi station
- Set up a websocket server
- Connect to a websocket
- Run a stateless nostr relay for sending and receiving events using Nostr-Arduino
- Run a nostr client using Nostr-Arduino - Code to follow soon!
