MeshCore

The "100x bandwidth" claim needs to be substantiated. There are some significant regulatory issues with the current popular mesh network protocols in the USA, namely that neither MeshCore or Meshtastic are compliant with the actual FCC regulations. 100x bandwidth because you're breaking the rules isn't the same as 100x bandwidth legally. Here is the issue discussing this in the MeshCore repository: https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore/issues/945

>Would you trust AI generated mesh firmware? It's ridiculous to me that they're concerned about the trustworthiness of AI-generated code when their code quality is so low. They don't even have automated tests and ignore attempts to add them.[0, 1, 2, 3] Last I checked, there's little validity checking in the code, so it's possible to broadcast nonsense values (like GPS coordinates outside of Earth's bounds) and the code happily accepts it. And that's fine if they're just like a scrappy upstart doing their best, but it annoys me to be so high and mighty about their code quality when they don't invest in it. I really want to like MeshCore but I feel like its stewardship makes it hard. The main two people I know running it are Scott Powell and Liam Cottle, both of whom are trying to build businesses on closed-source layers on top of the firm

Meshcore is open source. It’s « some » of the apps that are not. https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore

Here's an example of an issue they didn't like getting deleted https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore/issues/1159

It's mostly open source. https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore They have a couple minor things that are paid features.

If this is interesting to you, there's also a new edge mesh protocol which would dovetail into it well called MeshCore. MeshCore is LoRa and MCU focused, works at L2. Ygg is L3 and could run at e.g. your LoRa SBC gateway to provide seamless global distribution of edge mesh chats and sensor relays. https://github.com/ripplebiz/MeshCore https://youtu.be/fNWf0Mh2fJw https://chatgpt.com/share/681c281f-0a24-8011-8ec9-6d58ce3db0...
