Hey #Reticulum hobbyists and dev folks. I just installed the "Reticulum Mesh Chat" on my Mac OS and need to learn how to share my account info publicly (and what not to share) and if there are any users up for chatting to help me see this in the wild working. Any advice for newbie getting started welcome.
OK here is my LXMF address and I'll add it into my Mastodon bio too while I'm at it:
LXMF Address c72355885808468cace245e407b9d8a4
@tchambers is it wise to post an LXMF address semi-publicly?
(I'm asking as a noob, not rhetorically)
@skullvalanche I did ask this, and generally the community answer was "It is no secuirty risk" and so far i have seen no spam.
I think I need to think about it this way:
I should think of your LXMF address like an email address, except it's a cryptographic hash that looks like this ungainly thing...
2334f2a469a31dde0c1ba57d73222d0e.
...Note that is not mine, not sharing mine til I'm sure I am doing it right.
But that LXMF address is my identity on the network. There are no usernames registered anywhere — I think I share this address with friends directly, out-of-band (Signal, email, etc.) so they can message me.
