日本のデモでsignal使われ始めたみたいだけど、現場でbitchatも試してほしいな。
ネパールのデモで活躍した、Bluetoothでインターネットを使わずに通信するチャットアプリ。暗号化されててテレメトリもない。
イランでネット遮断があったときにも流行ったみたい。

bitchat for Android: A decentralized peer-to-peer messaging app. No accounts, no phone numbers, no central servers (7.8k stars)
What it does
All text below is quoted directly from the project README.
>A decentralized peer-to-peer messaging app with dual transport architecture: local Bluetooth mesh networks for offline communication and internet-based Nostr protocol for global reach. No accounts, no phone numbers, no central servers.
>This is the Android implementation of bitchat, fully protocol-compatible with the iOS version for cross-platform mesh communication.
Features:
- Dual Transport Architecture: Bluetooth LE mesh for offline messaging, Nostr relays for internet-based messaging
- Location-Based Channels: Geographic chat rooms using geohash coordinates over Nostr relays
- Intelligent Message Routing: Automatically chooses the best transport, with queuing and retry when a peer is unreachable
- End-to-End Encryption: Noise Protocol (XX pattern, X25519 + ChaCha20-Poly1305) for private messages over the mesh
- Decentralized Mesh Network: Automatic peer discovery and multi-hop relay over Bluetooth LE (max 7 hops)
- Wi-Fi Aware Transport: Higher-bandwidth local mesh on supported devices
- Channel Chats: Topic-based group messaging with optional password protection (Argon2id + AES-256-GCM)
- IRC-Style Commands: Familiar /join, /msg, /who style interface
- Tor Support: Built-in Tor (Arti) for private internet connectivity
- Emergency Wipe: Triple-tap to instantly clear all data
- Cross-Platform: Binary protocol compatible with bitchat on iOS and macOS
>This project is released into the public domain.

Bitchat
Github: github.com/permissionlesstech/bitchat-android/rel…
Mirror: bitchat.en.uptodown.com
I checked signatures, uptodown have original apk with signature matching with original from github.
\____
Remember police people will also be there in Bitchat region groups, so think accordingly in critical situations.
Make Bitchat groups with people you know.
You can share apk with nearby people without internet, from inside the app.
