BeeChat Network - P2P encrypted Comms - April Release

beechat.network/

Some time ago, I realized we cannot depend on the Internet forever. It can be shut down and manipulated. So, I took it upon myself to develop a decentralized communications network, where we can have the same functionalities as on the Internet, such as communicate, send files (pictures, videos, memes, documents, payments, anything really) but that it does not rely on the Internet. Instead, it relies on LEGAL radio-based devices that act as nodes in a mesh network.

I have made an emphasis to make it free, legal and open source so it is on the public domain, as well as all the software stack being open source, thus hopefully spurring a community and potentially applications, eventually replacing some functions of the Internet. Because, let's be honest, at the end of the day the Internet is not free as it was intended.

I will release the first version sometime in April, since I realize this technology could be truly a life saver during the current virus crisis (and coming recession).

I am posting it on Yas Forums as it is the heart of the Internet. Anything that starts here eventually spreads to MSM and every corner of the Internet like wildfire. Be it left, or right, at this point it doesn't matter. The more nodes there are on the BeeChat network the better it performs.

>Why this is political?

Right now the Elites are about to pass something called the EARN IT bill which will prevent encrypted communications if passed, and BeeChat is the solution to that problem, since it is encrypted at its core. It is also based on the ZigBee protocol, making it 100% legal to use without any license.

I have also added a forum to the website so we can continue the discussion on there.

As for who I am, and what are my intentions... to put it bluntly I want our future generations to be safe from the Elites. I will stay on this thread for a bit to answer some questions and doubts.

Seems promising

Bump

now to a live streaming version

Intruiged

Definitely. Right now it is based on IoT chips that were not meant for this at all. They were meant for light switches and other home automation. Hopefully this grows enough we can design our own devices for this purpose. With RISC-V, it is closer than ever to being reality.

Tell me more.

What do you want to know?

Bueno

Sounds like a loose torrent type application which would be full of exploits.

Maybe for its initial application, I think so.

The way I built BeeChat, it uses a combination of Asymmetric and Symmetric encryption to create an ephemeral Shared Secret. Not even the "best" "secure" chat apps out there such as Telegram or Signal have this level of encryption.

Will it be banned like the printing press?

inb4 (((they))) remove this

What hardware is required?
OS dependencies?

>I am posting it on Yas Forums as it is the heart of the Internet.

Seems extremely promising. Have you posted this on /g/?
Does this run on mobile as well or what systems and OSs are supported, as a previous user asked?

I checked the site for info but I feel like you should clarify how exactly it works. I'll be waiting for the source release.

It works on all OS's as long as you have a laptop you can run it. Will port it to Android eventually.

As for hardware requirements, you will need the Sparkfun XBee Explorer Dongle (it acts as the bridge between the radio and your laptop), and an XBee Radio Module (the radio itself).

There are many XBees to choose from. Some even go as far as 64 kilometers, meaning with 25 hops a message could travel 1600 kilometers, the same distance as Frankfurt, Germany to Kiev, Ukraine.

I will post this on /g/ tomorrow, thanks for the head's up, and thank you, I am also excited to share the code with everyone, I think it has great potential as well.

i was gonna use webrtc and flutter to make a p2p chat app

wouldn't this work more or less just as well?

what sort of bitrate can it sustain in average conditions?

DIDNT THEY TALK ABOUT HOW Q AND THE TOP PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY WAS GOING TO MAKE DECENTRALIZED WAY TO TALK TO EACH OTHER IS THIS IT

I MEAN THE TOP PEOPLE AND ANONS

BeeChat is completely separate from TCP/UDP/IP protocols. It does not need any Internet/Telecom infrastructure. It is an evolution on the concept of the Internet. Basically, the more devices in the network, the faster the connection.

With the IoT chips, 256 kbps. From tests I performed, encrypted text sends instantly, however, a picture takes about 1 minute to be received on the other end. The program sends files as 7Zip parts, thus, if the sender loses connection with the receiver mid-transfer, it can re start where it left the transfer when it finds the node once again. It is extremely resilient so to say.

I don't have anything to do with that Q larp.

interesting would be glad to see this happen

As for the 256 kbps, mind you, this is faster than the first modems.... and it is only the first version of this system.

>With the IoT chips, 256 kbps.
Not bad, no worse than old ADSL broadband and that was fine before the web got fucked over by bloat

bump for interest
have you posted it on /g/?

Interesting.

This means that it can't cross oceans, though? At least not on its own?

Precisely.

Not yet. Will do tomorrow.

hmm, so a radio wave-based encrypted tor?

what codebase you using? If it's C or js i think i can toss it in flutter to get it running cross platform easy

With a powerful enough transmitter (it could even be a directional signal, instead of an omnidirectional antenna), sure, it can. There wouldn't be a problem with that.

so no europe to americas obviously

Bumping for visibility

Th-thanks CIA

It's already Cross platform, based on the OpenJDK. But feel free to post suggestions in the forum! It's an open project. When I post the source code in April anyone is free to modify it as they want.

Intrigued, and this is very based of you user. But I ain't clickin that shit, nigga.

See

Given that another user just got bumped off for building something similar I'd be careful OP.

>Yas Forumsee chat
>First release April 1,2020
April fools day
C'mon OP...

how long before everything you just described is made illegal and you commit suicide with 3 bullets in the back of the head?

flutter is predominantly for mobile devices. i'll see what i can do when you drop codebase.

can we see a github at least?

Sounds cool, I'm excited.

hey user what languages should i be studying to help you?

i have a background in programming which is not saying much.

Bump for freedome.

I have a dead man's switch. If they kill me, it's out in the world anyway, they don't gain anything from killing me.

As for making this illegal, I chose the ZigBee standard on purpose. Smart homes have been pushed into legislation by all those big companies that want to spy on you with a smart toaster in your home. I took their legal Protocol and turned it against them. A taste of their own medicine.

Sure thing, I'll post it on Github ASAP.

Java, Bash scripts and Python3

Do you use that flag because you’re an ecofash wignat?

You glow brighter than the air in Chernobyl

I don't know much about radio, but I take it this can be done legally?

Interesting stuff. For some reason internet alternatives pique my interest.
There was one that was supposed to use wifi to wifi, but obviously doesn't work if no other user is in range.

Maybe you've heard of Nutsukuku
netsukuku.freaknet.org/

Here's a cool tech, which I guess could be used to transmit/receive in cases where radio isn't possible.

This is complete bs and impossible 64kn transmission with a shitty dongle.

>it acts as the bridge between the radio and your laptop
if you are going to shit on it, at least sound like you have a brain.
Yes, april 1st release makes it sound bullshit as fuck.
still doesn't explain what radio it would hook up to, to send the signal either

Sink before sail....

Ok, then 2nd of April. No, it's not an April fool's joke or something.

And yes, some modules can reach that distance, check for yourself. (40 miles is around 64 kilometers.)

>memeflag shill

do you have any better ideas italy, i'm all ears.

Can it broadcast through a HAM radio?

Sounds like Pied Pipernet

>up to 40 mile range
>with an asterisk
I got a HAM radio operator next to my house that fucking hijacks my speakers with his radio waves, and I hear shit about radios.
That 40 mile range is optimal conditions, cold clear weather with not much other traffic interfering. In reality it won't have that kind of range lol.
Did you just look at the specs and believe them, or did you actually look a bit into how much the signal would likely be degraded by shit first?

ironically this is basically what i know, except i use dart instead of java.

Why would it need to?
Ham radios operate at a much slower speed. Here's a video where they tried the same concept as BeeChat but failed miserably even to send a simple one liner text.... which on BeeChat is instant.

youtube.com/watch?v=lx6cm1rNDLM

Never watched that show, but from what I heard they did use some compression to transfer files. In BeeChat we also do that, we first encrypt the file with a Shared Secret with AES, then compress it (reducing the size) and split it into part files before sending.

Actually I own several. LOS they do reach that range, and for smaller 4 km devices its the same story. The main idea with BeeChat is it's a mesh network. The more people use it the more resilient (and faster) it will be.
