I'm just digging in to it and setting up "Rnodes" with my heltec v3's and sending files and voice is cool.

The nomad network is a markdown internet, and it all works over Lora or any other network.

Lots to learn still but it looks promising as a mesh data network.

How do you find people with the same connection settings? If I understand correctly you need to use the same frequency, bandwidth, spreading factor, and coding rate to mesh up. So it seems impossible to do unless you already coordinated with someone you know.

I don’t think it’s really a replacement for meshtastic. This is more a tool for building networks over many different data streams. Can use RNode, packet radio, tcp/ip even just a serial connection will do it. It’s pretty cool. I have ew perimentinh with it over the last year+ and it’s getting a lot better. I see what the dev envisions and Its awesome. Will continue to follow and test. I am hoping to find other users locally and start building our own network/infrastructure.
