Hmm looks interesting. Too bad it is written in Python. So, few questions then. Can it be bootstraped completly offline? Also, what are node requirement for this? I mean, CPU and MEM. Can my P150 with 16MB RAM run it?

There is a work in progress C++ port called microReticulum that can run on hardware such as the ESP32 https://github.com/attermann/microReticulum

No, I mean Intel Pentium 150MHz. I had Cyrix 6x86 CPU and I remember it was running hot.

You can run a node on an esp32 https://markqvist.github.io/Reticulum/manual/hardware.html
