The big problem with TCP IP is that it requires being assigned IP addresses and the border gateway protocol and other such infrastructure, which is not usable as an individual.
In Reticulum, you self-assign a destination address using your public and private keys and then announce that that service is available to the rest of the network through whatever connection you happen to have to the rest of the network.
Ok, that sounds brilliant! Thank you! :)
Yeah, it's actually pretty badass.
I think once the user experience gets simplified down, Reticulum will be an amazing piece of technology. But right now, it's just not very user-friendly with the user experience.
I can use it, and I bet you can use it, but I don't know if my mom would be able to use it right now, as is.
I'm convinced. I'll check it out. :)
It's also pretty misleading.
