Reticulum VS Crossbar

I would very much recommend using https://reticulum.network/ instead (warning: rabbit hole)

I am struggling to understand who the overlap between people who can accurately assess the risk of each of these implementations and correctly find them ok (graduate level cryptography?) and people who cannot get pyca or openssl to compile is.

For offline operation maybe a case could be made that timing side channels aren't an issue in practice, but this is explicitly network software.

There is a similar thread up here on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41253922

The author of this blog post is the developer of Reticulum, which is a complete network stack and full-fledged alternative to TCP/IP. (https://reticulum.network/). Reticulum is capable of operating over not just LoRa, but bluetooth low energy, standard WiFi, Packet Radio, and overlay networks like Tor and I2P.

This is worth a look as works over packet radio.

I would create a mesh wifi. (similar https://reticulum.network/, tox https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore etc)

Any views/comparison reagarding freakwan versus reticulum https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum ?

This works by a WebSocket client written in AutobahnPython, which stores data in zLMDB and published data in WAMP via Crossbar.io. zLMDP is memory mapped from within Jupyter, which allows direct high performance access (millions of rows/sec on PyPy!).
