They blew it man.
Same with Meshtastic. a decade head start and a massive established user base and they are in the process of losing to meshcore because meshcore is making architecture changes theh were "principled against"
We couldn't find a decent guide for OTA (over the air) @mesh_core firmware updates. So we made one.
What is OTA firmware updates?
It allows you to update device firmware over Bluetooth (for nRF52 devices) or WiFi (for esp32).
This is one of the easiest ways to update firmware on MeshCore repeaters that are up high.
We haven't fully tested the esp32 process, it's pieced together from docs and a couple of guides. If you have trouble with any of the steps/process, let us know so we can fix the docs!

its should be much simpler!
dont need to customize the meshcore/meshtastic firmware.
just customize the meshcore/meshtastic mobile client to route bitchat through them.
absolutely,, I wonder could you send outage messages similar to a Weather Bug,, to APRS, WinLink, Meshtastic, MeshCore,, Idea,, the gov has made a mess of SkyWarn,, maybe we could setup a Weather/PowerOutage net and have a Ham Radio side and a non licensed side as a plug-in on PowerOutage.us with the net operational on 80, 40, 20, 10, 6, 2, 1.25 meter and 70cm,, D-Star, Fusion, WiresX,, use AI to listen to all the bands and update CC on the website
bitchat will truly shine once it's coupled to a long-range mesh network like meshcore
bitchat: short range, great for dense groups, is just an app.
meshcore: long range, great for sparse networks, requires special hardware.
No massive footprint. No massive budget.

People are talking about Pigeons and Morse code when they are things like Briar, Jami, Meshtastic and Meshcore and some other pretty good stuff. There is the whole Fediverse too. There are already a lot of tools and some new ones on the way.
