β˜₯ Digital Presence on the Reticulum Network

A proposal for local businesses, spaces and communities

From: noduscypher Β· rawmesh-node Β· Beira Baixa, Portugal


🌿 Status: pilot phase with selected local spaces. If you are interested in joining, just reach out β€” we can explore it calmly together.


What is this

The Reticulum Network is a decentralised communication infrastructure β€” no central servers, no algorithms, no social media dependency. It can run over internet, LoRa radio and local networks simultaneously.

Anyone with a compatible app installed β€” MeshChatX, Sideband, NomadNet, Columba, β€” can access pages, receive messages and communicate directly, without intermediaries, without tracking, without permission from anyone.


What we offer

πŸ“„ 1. A page for your space

A dedicated page for your business, space or project, accessible to anyone on the Reticulum Network.

It can include anything relevant to you:

  • presentation of your space, project or services
  • products, menu, offerings or schedule
  • events, gatherings and announcements
  • contact information and location
  • your philosophy and values

Plain text. No cookies. No tracking. No algorithms. Just what matters.


πŸ“‘ 2. An LXMF announcement bot

An automated bot that sends direct messages to all subscribers whenever you have something to share:

  • new events or gatherings
  • weekly specials or new products
  • schedule changes or important announcements
  • anything you want your community to know

Subscribers install the app once and receive your messages directly. No spam. No algorithms. No middlemen.


πŸ–₯️ 3. Hosting on the rawmesh node

Your page and bot are hosted on the rawmesh node in Beira Baixa, Portugal, with high availability.

No costs. No contracts. No conditions.

This is a contribution to the community β€” because local projects and honest spaces deserve to be present on a resilient, open network.


β˜€οΈ 4. Future vision β€” solar and off-grid

When you are ready, you can have your own dedicated Reticulum node powered entirely by solar energy.

A low-consumption Raspberry Pi connected to your solar panels, serving your page and running your bots directly from your space.

  • Minimal consumption
  • Near-zero running cost
  • Fully autonomous and resilient β€” even without grid electricity, even without internet

Your own presence on a resilient network, powered by the sun.


Why this makes sense

  • πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Ή You are among the first in Portugal with a presence on the Reticulum Network
  • πŸ“΅ Direct communication with your community β€” no dependency on Instagram, Facebook or any platform that can change its rules tomorrow
  • 🀝 Aligned with values of locality, transparency and trust
  • 🧭 The people using this network are exactly the kind of people who appreciate honest, conscious and community-driven spaces
  • ⚑ Resilient β€” works even without central internet, at events, festivals and off-grid situations
  • πŸ’š No costs. Built with care. For the community.

What you need to do

Nothing technical. Just share with us:

  • name and brief description of your space or project
  • what you offer β€” products, services, events
  • how you want to be contacted
  • your philosophy or values, if you want them represented

We handle everything else.


Next steps

  1. Read this at your own pace and reflect.
  2. Ask any questions you have.
  3. When you are ready, we start.

No rush. This project grows slowly, step by step, without hype, in cooperation with nature.
