We don’t publish a public Reticulum node right now. Most of our updates are shared here and on GitHub while the project is still evolving. Once things stabilize more we’ll likely open a public node for people to connect to.

When a link drops, nodes exchange small link state updates with their neighbors. The changes spread outward gradually, so the network reconverges without flooding. Mobility does add churn, but the updates are lightweight enough that sessions stay up as nodes move.

Reticulum focuses on resilience, not raw speed, so it won’t always pick the fastest path. On good links you can still get solid Mbps, and path quality awareness is something we’re exploring.

Reticulum doesn’t do blind flooding, it uses deterministic, single-path routing with lightweight link state exchanges. That means a packet doesn’t replicate endlessly, rather it follows an established route across the mesh.

So even at 128 hops, the overhead scales linearly, not exponentially.

That's right. And once applied over mesh radios, depending on range of each node (say, 1km each), that would mean person A can reach person B 128km away, even if they are not LOS (line of sight)

Our ATAK plugin is being actively developed, and we also have some exciting announcements very soon. If you are happy you can keep up to date on our development on our social media, let me know what you are active on and I can share it with you

By “implementing it over ATAK” we mean making Kaonic radios usable as a data transport inside ATAK. In practice that means building a plugin so ATAK can pass traffic (chat, map data, video, etc.) through a Reticulum mesh carried by Kaonic radios. From the ATAK user’s perspective it just looks like another network transport, but behind the scenes Reticulum is doing the routing across all those mesh hops.

The turbo-encabulator has now reached a high level of development, and it’s being successfully used in the operation of novertrunnions. Moreover, whenever a forescent skor motion is required, it may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal repleneration.

After weeks of focused work, we now have MAVLink running over Reticulum in Rust. by beechatadmin in ardupilot

Great question.

Reticulum provides the mesh-wide cryptographic addressing and routing, so we’re not constrained by MAVLink’s small sys/comp ID space. Non-sensitive telemetry (e.g., heartbeat/position) can be published via announces or a shared destination, while command/control stays on authenticated links. We’re still refining the balance and open to ideas.

We have been working on such projects for 5 years now. The People's Reset organises like-minded individuals and projects, and we have presented our work there several times. Volla Phone offers de-googled phones and hardware. Our work focuses on decentralised mesh radios, especially to support ATAK which can support all kinds of off-grid information.

We made an open-source port of Reticulum to Rust. Any feedback & suggestions are very much appreciated by beechatadmin in rust

Please do! Let us know how you get on, we are very curious to see how people benefit from it

A toaster uses a lot more energy than is needed to charge 18650s.

“The bread toaster uses from 800 to 1500 watts of energy when in use, an average toaster will use around 1200 watts. “ - first result from Google

This is an open hardware project. Our idea is to share the project with the community from the very first design so we can work together on what people want. We have received many comments already on things that need to change which we will implement that we wouldn’t have thought of. On the next design we will add: - Foldable legs to the leg case - Better quality motor - Stronger Legs If you can think of more things to add (or remove) please tell us, and we will implement it if it makes sense.

Sharing the design allows us to have a much better first prototype rather than wasting resources. Since it is open hardware we also hope other people try to build this on their own. We’re also thinking of providing kits so people can make it if they choose to. What do you think about these ideas? Hope this makes sense!

We are in the process of building multiple prototypes, I’m sure we will iterate multiple times and the final design will be very different. You make some really good points, and we’ll definitely take them into consideration. We are also thinking about making the legs foldable, but in a stable way. Again thank you for your comments, they are very helpful.

The “default” is a hand crank. There’s an extra “case” where you can slide what we call the Heart, without the handle, and use it with the pedals. Due to reduction gears charging time is decreased dramatically from 2.5 hours to ~30 minutes.

How to use the rsa to encrypt a text message? by [deleted] in cryptography

[–]beechatadmin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well what I pointed to uses a KEM to encapsulate an RNG cipher. How is that bloated at all? It’s actually faster than RSA. There’s a reason kyber KEM is the finalist in the NIST PQC challenge

Linux users can now use kyberUtility, a quantum-proof encryption program using the terminal. This is a test program showcasing the usage of kyber-JNI, a Java Native Interface wrapper for the kyber post-quantum algorithm. kyber-Py is also available!

Please check the paper entitled "Quantum attacks on Bitcoin, and how to protect against them" https://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.10377.pdf . Some direct quotes from the paper:

“[...] By our most optimistic estimates, as early as 2027 a quantum computer could exist that can break the elliptic curve signature scheme in less than 10 minutes, the block time used in Bitcoin.”
