Not sure if it's working.<BR><br> <BR><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: rubin@starset.net<br>Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2015 00:00:42 +0200<br>To: congress@lists.noisebridge.net<br>Subject: Re: [Noisebridge-congress] FireChat app for communicating at Camp?<br><br><div dir="ltr">Ok folks, this thing is stupid and silly and possibly useful. Think of Firechat not as chat but as a P2P Twitter. There's a main "Everyone" feed which includes tagged messages from #channels. If you enter a channel you're simply seeing a filtered view of only those tagged messages from the Everyone feed. The DMs are private but everyone sees all the chats from all channels that are geographically near by.<div><br></div><div>This would be a fun experiment. I'm not sure if the BT component will work if you've got an older phone, but it's worth a try. We still have the Google Hangouts thing and this mailing list.</div><div><br></div><div>To join "nopecamp" simply download/install, register an account with an email address. Add someone from the camp and have them add you back. At that point I think you just need to tell it you want to create/join "nopecamp" and it should work.</div><div><br></div><div>I've added a column to the roster for Firechat user names.</div><div><br></div></div><div class="ecxgmail_extra"><br><div class="ecxgmail_quote">On 9 August 2015 at 22:55, Rubin Abdi <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rubin@starset.net" target="_blank">rubin@starset.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="padding-left: 1ex; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid;"><div dir="ltr">So I can't get this to work.

I believe the p2p works through BLE, so this makes it useless for some of our trash hacker Android devices. But it'll be a good experiment. I should be rubin<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">This while local chat room is slightly creepy where I'm sitting right now. Is this Everyone channel just based off GPS or actual BLE mesh?<br>
