Jack Dorsey explores Bluetooth mesh networks with new project
@jack: Jack Dorsey explores mesh networks
Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter, has embarked on a weekend project delving into the realms of Bluetooth mesh networks, relays, and message encryption models.
In a recent tweet, Dorsey shared his experiment, which he dubs ''bitchat: Bluetooth mesh chat'', evoking the nostalgic feel of IRC. By exploring ''store and forward'' models, Dorsey appears to be tapping into a model that relays messages through various nodes, ensuring continuity even when parts of the network are offline.
Bluetooth mesh networks are gaining traction in the tech community due to their decentralized nature, providing robust communication channels without a central server. By possibly integrating encryption into the mix, Dorsey’s project aligns with growing concerns about data privacy and secure communications.
For those interested, Dorsey has made his project accessible through TestFlight and GitHub links, inviting the tech-savvy public to explore the nuances of his weekend endeavor.

Dorsey’s exploration of decentralized communication is the latest in a series of technical innovations, following his earlier work implementing a dynamic model selection system for the Goose app, aimed at enhancing user flexibility and technology adoption. These endeavors arrive at a time when broader discussions around digital resilience and privacy are intersecting with concerns such as the silent depression stemming from reliance on fiat currency, as highlighted in recent commentary by Jack Mallers.
