Blackout Comms vs Meshtastic
Blackout Comms and Meshtastic are completely separate and have nothing to do with one another. Blackout Comms was created with different design goals.
Blackout Comms is different in terms of user interface, security, mesh capability, data storage, and more. Blackout Comms is:
Easy and intuitive for anyone to pick up and use
Extremely easy to set up - zero knowledge about encryption or LoRa settings is required to set it up, use it, and benefit from the security of full asymmetric encryption & digital signatures.
Blackout Comms deliberately shuns app stores and phones.
Baked in / protocol level asymmetric & symmetric encryption, ECDSA digital dignatures, and unpredictable frequency hopping for every message.
