Was scrolling through my forums and came across this discussion on simplex chat, for an request for end to end encrypted offline bluetooth messaging. I thought this was a great feature but the **developer will only consider if people vote. So take a vote! **

I've not gotten briar to mesh properly ever. I've experimented with four separate devices, bluetooth, wifi and net, all sorts of combination. It's one of the reasons why I unfortunately had to disregard it as a main comms platform, at least until they have sorted out either mesh or the mailbox they're working on. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, have you tested it or is it theoretical?
