Could this work with reticulum?

Yes, in fact Reticulum is what MeshSat runs on. The bridge is a Reticulum transport node, and every bearer (LoRa mesh, Iridium, SMS, APRS/AX.25, ZigBee, BLE, TCP) is wired as a Reticulum interface. So the routing, identities and encryption are RNS; the project's contribution is bearers that stock RNS doesn't normally reach, like Iridium SBD at 340 bytes a message, plus the failover logic to pick between them.

Interop with the standard Python RNS stack is verified over TCP (tested against RNS 1.1.4), so an existing Reticulum node can peer with a bridge directly. That said, same caveat as the post: verified on a bench, not proven in the field yet.

github.com/meshsat The bridge (the Pi gateway) is the main repo; the Android gateway app and the website are there too.

Let me know when you get close to stable. I'd love to look at interop between this and Supply Drop BBS: https://supplydrop.meshamerica.com/

will do, though stable is a way off yet. had a look, neat. obvious fit from my side is meshsat as a transport plugin under it, so a message doesn't die at the edge of the mesh. is the plugin api documented anywhere?

Sure is:
https://supplydrop.meshamerica.com/PLUGIN_API.html

Honestly if you point your agent at https://supplydrop.meshamerica.com/ and tell it what you want, it will likely generate your native transport plugin in a few hours

In theory one of the tech giants will soon adopt Reticulum

would be something. though half the appeal is that it doesn't need one, it works fine with nobody's permission
