If we can hack wifidirect and use SSID in the same way we are using Bluetooth names, that would be interesting

allow friends to subscribe to our blacklist perhaps with trustiness model [or signing].

this ought provoke some thought projects on spoofing and identity

use OTR4J or TextSecurev2 code/protocol

Hi.

I am translating the app in french.

But there are some string, that I can not translate : "s ago", "m ago", "h ago".
I suppose that there is a variable before. But, the variable should be replaced by the printing function (like GetText and printf of C).
Like that, I can translate in french : "%var s ago" -> "depuis %var s"

I am also wondering if PM means "Private Message" in "PM TO" and "PM FROM".

Thanks.

Notify users when there are new messages.

(replaces cusax)

#30

add ability to block devices / messages both from having public messages displayed and from connecting for direct messages.

ultimately, this block/black list could be shared between devices to combat bad actors

Are you going to keep allowing to send empty message or not ? Because it very easy to spam this way and it's not really useful (just my opinion)

Either don't allow this behaviour or fix it from crashing...

It would be easier for new user to understand how the app work if you add something about it. Like explaining what the repeater and broadcaster do and what's the difference between them.

I own a Samsung Galaxy Gio, which has a rather small screen. Even with the font settings set to small, Gilgamesh displays the following in the top bar:

Gilgamesh
You are broadcasting as @5e8...

In other words, my own ID gets cut off. Seeing how Gilgamesh places messages as "@me", there is no way for me to see my own Bluetooth ID.

P.S.: I sure hope there's no Github user named @5e8, if there is, I'm sorry

Hello Nathan, I've tried to run this program on my android studio but it doesn't work. I want to know if i can use another software if possible

Allow for bursty relay of messages when internets available: store and forward. BlueTooth tethering where available (XPosed module).

SHOULD require OTR payload.

Or similar to ATM Virtual Circuits.
#31
#30

Or OSTN

This would be an enhancement layer on top of the plaintext bluetooth namespace hack

Here's one bit of code that might be useful:
https://github.com/automenta/netentionj/blob/master/src/main/java/netention/p2p/Network.java#L55

A nice enhancement for the message layer

some users may want their original bluetooth device id to be restored

This is on a Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.3.

Help all messages get to all people...

So from what I have read for now the name given by the app should stay when I quit it so it should be something as 669A20 but instead of it, it's the last messages I have send.

in the ZeroConf sense

Bluetooth IDs are like MAC addresses so similar phones will likely have the same first three bytes, resulting in multiple identical usernames among a group of friends.

Perhaps XOR 2 bytes of the ID to create each byte of the username?

should be able to go back to "listen only" mode

Right now, the activity has to be in the foreground

(Enanchement)

With this app one day could be possible creating apps to do something in group. (E.g.: Naval battle?)

One day please provide some APIs to allow developers to use this app to send broadcast Bluetooth messages, and receive them :)

http://minilock.io/

I was trying to send the app to my old galaxy ace to test it but it couldn't receive it because there isn't a sd card in it even if there is enough space to receive the app in the phone.
I don't know if it's coming from the app or the way android work.

unlike other apps, gilgamesh can't be quit using the "back" button. not preventing this, would make the app feel a bit more standard since most users would possibly expect that behaviour.

Or SIP SIMPLE over BlueTooth

Rather than opening up a sync connection to a device, you should be able to send a message, that once, we see the device "online" in discovery, is delivered.
