I'm watching #Bitchat rather closely on #Github and there's basically two kinds of activity on the Issues
1) people who seem to Have Clue(tm) and can point out and suggest solutions for the real-world issues this app will face, and write code
2) #JackDorsey fan bois who are hard in love with anything Dorsey says, and would happily buy anything he has to offer
As one footnote, Dorsey himself has acknowledge that the short range of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) networks will pretty quickly require some sort of relay/bridge implementation to transmit from mesh-to-mesh across any substantive distance
"While bitchat is designed to operate without internet infrastructure, there are scenarios where selective network bridging could enhance its capabilities without compromising its core principles. The Nostr protocol presents a particularly interesting integration opportunity."
No specifics as to who/what entity would control these Nostr relays
So, yeah...
