Unknown parent • • •"is that the wildly unsecure Bluetooth powered chat app? I hope it fails to catch on"
It's one of them, yes
Interestingly, several threads on Github expose the fact that there's already like-named clones / ripoffs showing up on the App Store, apparently
Interesting too is that, when the very short range of a Bluetooth mesh is pointed out, Dorsey brings up Nostr for routing / bridging
Nowhere does he talk about who runs / controls these "Network bridges: Optional internet gateways (Nostr integration)"
