> Can a Birdy client with internet access serve as a gateway to other Birdy clients without internet access? That's so far unclear to me as well. I will say, if they can crib some code or at least hints on how that might be done (provided they even want to support that feature), there was an old app out there called EnsiChat[1] that IIRC had internet relays running on servers, but was P2P-first. So: if Alice could see Bob directly via P2P, they could chat. Or, if Alice could see Bob indirectly, they could still chat. No idea if it supported meshing P2P connections to get Alice's message to Bob via Alice -> internet relay -> Frank -> Dmitry -> Bob [1]https://github.com/Nutomic/ensichat

A public key is pretty long for an address (eg ~500 bytes for RSA-4096). Instead, you can use a hash of the public key for an address. That's what I'm doing for Ensichat [1] [1] https://github.com/Nutomic/ensichat

I am currently developing a decentralized messenger that might fit this description. I've developed Ensichat [1] as a messenger that works over Bluetooth and Internet, by sending messages peer to peer. At the moment, I'm adding additional functionality to this app as part of my Bachelor thesis (improved routing, and relays that hold messages while the destination is not reachable). Does anyone have experience with DARPA projects, and if individuals can apply for it? (I'm not from the US) Edit: My app does not use a blockchain because the data, bandwidth and power usage aren't an option for mobile devices. [1] https://github.com/Nutomic/ensichat

I'm currently working on a decentralized instant messenger Ensichat [1] which does exactly that. Right now, it only works over Bluetooth, but internet support will be coming very soon! But as others have mentioned, many problems become really difficult in a decentralized application, most importantly offline messaging. [1] https://github.com/Nutomic/ensichat

I have developed an instant messenger for Android called EnsiChat [1]. For identity, I use an RSA key pair. For key exchange, devices send their public key to direct neighbors, and you can visually check that the key is correct. I have also thought about implementing transport over internet (right now it's only Bluetooth). But that would require a lot of effort. [1] https://github.com/Nutomic/ensichat
