It would be interesting to make it open source, I would love to make an addition when I'm comfortable enough with programming. I think the multi-hop has potential to create a meshnet-like network.
serval not to distract you from tin-can (I think it is a distinct and powerful concept (tin-can, serval is just a really cool mesh system)) <-nested parenthesis
Hey, I just noticed that Serval (http://redecentralize.org/interviews/2013/08/14/04-paul-serv...) seems to be a very similar concept to Tin-Can. Do you happen to know how they differ? mk?
Serval is a much more ambitious project (to provide internet to africa) it includes a lot of mesh stuff messaging is secondary.
I recall that JV actually talked to someone at the serval project for some advice. BTW, we are going to be open-sourcing TC soon. We don't have the time for it, and it would be great if other people could pick it up and carry it forward. There's a number of issues with android fragmentation that need to be addressed.
