How is that a dark pattern? It's better if you do verify, so you can see your contacts and others can know it's you. If that fails, then we offer to use the app without verification.

Since we use Bluetooth Low Energy and the algorithm works to make broadcasting/forwarding efficient, we've found that running messages for 24 hours consumes around 7-10% battery total on an average device. These numbers may differ depending on the OS, device, usage, etc. but in a nutshell: we don't consider battery consumption to be a problem.

Well said petre, that's the perfect answer.

Sorry about that! Our official website is indeed www.bridgefy.me, and we should have www.bridgefy.com recovered in a short while.

That's exactly why, whoopdedo :)

Basically anything text-based (messages, location, triggers), and as technologies improve, so will Bridgefy as it's protocol -agnostic :)

Hi! You can skip the SMS verification step, which is how thousands of people have used it after earthquakes and hurricanes :) we also have an SDK so that developer can create their own app and make it work however they want.

Hi everybody, I'm Jorge, founder of Bridgefy. Happy to answer any questions!

Welp guess not

Several companies have tried to create blockchain-based products using offline mesh networks, but there's the problem of there not being a ledger, and thus transactions not being able to be confirmed. Do you think blockchain-centric companies could integrate technologies like, say, Bridgefy to enable their mobile products to work without Internet and thus become more decentralized?
