What’s New Version 1.7.0

bitchat now act like a walkie-talkie! • push-to-talk voice — hold the mic to talk live, in private chats and in the public mesh channel. voice streams while you speak; if the other side misses it, it lands as a voice note. • mesh bridging — separate mesh pockets in the same area now find each other. when anyone nearby has internet, flipping the single "mesh bridge" switch lets their phone carry chat between islands — plus sealed private messages for people who are offline right now. every bridged message is signed by its sender, so nothing leaves the radio without consent, and a per-message toggle keeps anything you want nearby-only. • a livelier quiet mesh — see hints of recent conversations nearby, wave to say hi, leave a note for whoever passes by later with /drop, and watch the radar sweep for activity around you. • messages that never give up — writing to someone who just walked out of range? the message now waits, rides along with people passing by, or slips across the bridge — and shows a little parcel while it travels — instead of failing. • settings, tidied — info and settings now live together: appearance, voice, connectivity, and location access in one panel. • faster location channels — nearby notes and channels load quicker, with honest connecting states instead of endless spinners. also fixed: received photos stuck as a grey box, the mic dying on press-and-hold in private chats, ghost duplicates when a nearby device renews its identity, and clearer offline icons in chat headers.

Description

bitchat 1.6.0 is our biggest update yet: smarter background presence, group chat, and messages that find their way. always ready to mesh • bitchat now reconnects to nearby bitchatters automatically, even locked in your pocket. walk back into range and the mesh heals itself, with zero extra battery drain. • everything keeps working while your phone is locked. private groups • create invite-only, end-to-end encrypted group chats that run entirely over the mesh. messages that find their way • couriers: any bitchatter can carry sealed messages toward offline friends, without being able to read them. • message someone before they're even online: forward-secret first contact means it's waiting when they arrive. • public chat now backfills the last 6 hours, so late arrivals catch up automatically. location channels • bulletin board: pin signed notices to a place, meetups, alerts, lost & found, all in one notices sheet. • gateway mode (opt-in): bridge your local mesh to the internet so distant bitchatters can join your location channel. • proof-of-work spam resistance for busy areas. and more • send and redeem cashu ecash right in chat with /pay. • mesh diagnostics: /ping, /trace, and a live topology map. • vouching: friends you've verified can vouch for people they trust. • now fully localized in 29 languages. • dozens of reliability fixes: fewer duplicate messages, smarter syncing, paced relay traffic, and dependable delivery receipts.
