MeshCore

“Sure does - MeshCore for example: Quite active here in Czech Republic for example.”

“we managed to cover all the main urban centers with MeshCore in less than one year”

“One aspect of MeshCore and similar technologies I really like is that the end user devices can directly communicate with each other seamlessly”

“here in Europe with 868 MHz MeshCore you get good singnal from a repeater through one or two city blocks”

“all the recent meshtastic/core/etc. stuff feels a bit like the early wardriving community”

“When I first got on meshcore here NJ i immediately connected with my closest neighbor repeater 20 miles away”

“Meshtastic and Meshcore are just that, messaging, but that makes it the standardized killer app.”

“the Hamburg Meshcore mesh has some dumbass spammer spamming far-right youtube videos in the public channel”

“Meshcore, on the other hand, is far less popular but still has a nice amount of repeaters and it's, conversely, very good.”

“MeshCore has a lot more reach than Meshtastic. Often 100+ kilometers compared to just a few kilometers.”

“I used that antenna coverage functionality to plan my repeater locations. It worked well.”

“Meshcore on the other hand has people actually having conversations, networks that span whole states”

“Every larger community that switches says the same - it's a huge reliability difference.”

“I just switched over to the mesh core version of psmesh and instantly I was able to get chats from folk across the state”

“Meshtastic and Meshcore are both cool LoRa-based mesh text messaging that operate in an no-license-required band.”

“since MT + MC both flood the shared channels to push messages across intermediary nodes, they pretty much self-DDoS by doing...nothing.”

“Usability wise Meshcore is better due to static routing and enabling (far) longer paths.”

“I experienced a functional core in meshcore surrounded by a lot of vibe coded slop”

“A communication protocol can't be vibe coded, how do you enforce security if the person is unable to understand what the tool created?”

“a passing curiosity becomes me installing a repeater on our roof with a cavity filter that reaches half a city”

“It's ridiculous to me that they're concerned about the trustworthiness of AI-generated code when their code quality is so low.”

“Wow, the coverage is nuts. I should hop on, looks like I've got solid coverage in my area.”

“the protocol works well, scaling up to thousands of nodes across hundreds of miles”

“Most people with solid mesh networks seem to be moving from Meshtastic to MeshCore and having improved experiences with it.”

“I've had a lot of fun putting up stealth repeaters in trees to build out the Meshcore network.”

“MeshCore is currently budding out, unless you are in one of the few places where it is really entrenched”

“the more dynamic and technically interesting stuff now seems to be with SDR and Meshtastic/Meshcore”

“Your family memebers should be able to send you encrypted text messages using the MeshCore network only”

“the networks are extremely low bandwidth and quite unreliable and are vulnerable to jamming or spam/overload”

“Incredibly useful if you go hiking with friends (if you get split up you can still stay in touch).”

“It's newer and tends to have been adopted by communities that have run into issues with large Meshtastic networks.”

“Meshcore uses a different strategy than Meshtastic, which enables Meshcore to work more reliably.”

“There are significant downsides to the changes Meshcore made to achieve more reliability in some use cases”

“Meshcore seems like a much better choice for messaging in dense-node environments.”

“success depends a lot on line of sight. If you're on flat, open land, you'll likely see much better range than I did.”

“I haven't done a deep dive into either but have heard that they both fix some Meshtastic issues.”

“But not as easy to use as BLE(+BLE Meshing) which is basically integrated into every smartphone.”

“MeshCore is a huge step in the right direction. Especially over Meshtastic which is very poorly designed.”

“MeshCore performs much better than Meshtastic at scale and as an emplaced deployment.”

“we're doing 400 miles using 12 hops going from north Vancouver to Eugene Oregon”
