Tim Chambers in Elk: "OK here is my LXMF address and I'll ad..."

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

This might help if you want to use radio https://loramesh.org but is heavily linux focussed.....

loramesh.org

lora radio mesh communication

post has #lxmfaddress for #reticulum

I'm also working to set up reticulum, but more in a lab-style way where I'm deleting and installing new apps and my LXMF ID is constantly changing. Just added your address to my sideband and will send a message once your keys propagate!

is it wise to post an LXMF address semi-publicly?

(I'm asking as a noob, not rhetorically)

I did ask this, and generally the community answer was "It is no secuirty risk" and so far i have seen no spam.

I suppose generating a new address is trivial, though a bit cumbersome if you need to redistribute it to a lot of contacts.

It does seem like depending on the bandwidth you are operating on though that enough queued up messages could be effectively a DDoS.
