#Reticulum version 1.3.7 is out, so I asked #Codex to compare the 1.3.7 Python tree (obtained from Mark's source code) against my protocol Specification previously extracted from the Reticulum Network Stack version 1.3.5.
Result: no apparent wire-level protocol break. The main changes are operational/interface-discovery related, plus verifier maintenance.

Reticulum has no separate protocol spec; the Python implementation is effectively the reference. But GitHub, PyPI, and RNS-distributed releases may not show the same version.
I documented how I fetched the signed 1.3.7 release over Reticulum itself using rngit, including signer validation and artifacts retrieved.

Commercial telcos can't serve regional Australia by design, not by malice. It's arithmetic: sparse markets don't clear the return threshold.
Mesh networks flip it. Every LoRa node is a subscriber, a relay, and infrastructure at once, cooperative by physics, not choice. New piece on building cooperatively owned networks and what Helium's collapse into a corporation-in-disguise teaches about protecting them.

Cooperative by Design: Why Mesh Networks and Community Telcos Are Built for Each Other
A commercial telco and a mesh network are not different ways of solving the same problem. They are built on opposite assumptions about how infrastructure works. Understanding why that matters is the key to understanding why regional Australia keeps getting left behind, and what to do about it. The Economics of Absence In regional and rural Australia, the connectivity gap is not a failure of effort or ambition. It is the predictable output of a particular economic model.https://web.brid.gy/r/https://gaggl.com/blogs/2026-07-08-cooperative-by-design/

TP-Link Deco BE77 Review: Great Mesh Wi-Fi for the Eero-Weary

How does a #Reticulum mesh actually behave on #LoRa when messages must traverse multiple transport nodes?
I ran seven GPS-disciplined #TBeamSupreme units running #microReticulum, forced AMY<->GUY traffic through five intermediate nodes, parsed all seven logs into SQLite, and produced a microsecond-scale chronology plus CAD-delay plot. The test exposes forwarding, channel contention, and radio backoff in one trace.

Hey #Reticulum: what is the plan for PQC? Reticulum depends on public-key cryptography, while PQC may impose significant packet-size, CPU, and memory costs for LoRa-class devices.
The White House has accelerated Federal PQC migration deadlines: key establishment by 2030.

Each #MeshNetworking radio test cycle requires rebuilding and uploading separate #ESP32S3 firmware images 4 each #TBeamSupreme, because each unit has different blocker rules to simulate network topology.
Moving the compile step from my older Intel workstation to a Ryzen 7950 box cuts roughly 8–9 minutes from each iteration. That adds up fast when testing, retesting, and chasing radio anomalies.

Published a new Reticulum testing note: simulating mesh-network distance in the lab by using software “blocking pairs” between nearby T-Beams. This lets a desktop test force packets through intermediate transport nodes instead of requiring people scattered miles apart.

I used #Bluetooth / #BLE as a short-range stand-in for #LoRa to test #Reticulum mesh behavior with #TBeamSupreme units.
The RSSI graph worked: carry two units away from a base pair, watch signal strength decay, disappear, then recover on return.
The GPS trace? Woeful. Useful lesson: RSSI test succeeded; urban T-Beam GPS precision did not.

Skipping the #TBeamSupreme for this test: two bare #RaspberryPiZero2W boards running #microReticulum with my BLE interface, each sending poetry to the other over their built-in Bluetooth radios.
Two $17 SBCs, 8.8 MB builds, fully secure Reticulum link, and ambidextrous roles: start both, and they decide who is client/server.
