The Contact List
| DRAFT |
|---|
Unlike texting on a phone, two companion nodes cannot exchange private messages with each other unless they are both in each other's contact list.
A standalone way of building a contact list of neighbours is to:
- Advert(ise) our node with precise (or close enough) location for others.
- Discover other nodes based on their location.
1. Advert
Setup your name and location:
- Tap the gear in the top right corner to go to the settings pages.
- Write a name that is someone descriptive (your name, callsign, etc...). You can change this anytime.
- Tap the map icon to pick your location. This will be shared online so you might want to select a street corner that's close to your house but not exactly where you live. It should be close enough to be useful for your neighbours to identify you as part of the neighbourhood.
- Check the “Share Position in Advert”
- Tap the ✔ icon in the top right corner.
Advert(ise) your name and location to the network:
- Tap of the “wave” icon just on the left of the gears at the top
- Tap “Advert • Flood Routed”
