There is more stuff I can spend money on? permalink fedilink source hideshow 16 child comments replies: [–] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 13 points 9 months ago (15 children) Yeah meshcore uses the same radios and frequencies but the way the mesh forms and operates is different. It seems that the people that use it really like it but meshtastic is way more popular where I am at the moment. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 15 child comments replies: [–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 9 months ago (9 children) Isn't meshcore proprietary and not open source? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] 0xd34d@sh.itjust.works 10 points 9 months ago (2 children) So, it's kinda mixed.
