Cool and neat idea
From 3 comments
This is really neat, but I'm sad that it didn't start with classic modem sounds.
corprew on HNThis is very cool, because in theory it makes the barrier to entry into a meshnet, effectively zero. Is it any different conceptually than extending the handshake from analog…
AndrewKemendo on HNWow this is really cool. I am wondering what the applications for this could be irl.

Useful for exchanging contacts between devices
From 2 comments
You say your data throughput is relatively slow, which makes sense, but it would be super cool to exchange phone numbers/contacts with this. Imagine meeting another geek and…
beholdTheMojo on HNExactly :) Moreover, you can share your contacts with multiple geeks at once, which I think you cannot achieve even with Bluetooth.

Transfer rate is very slow, 8-16 B/s, so impractical for files
From 2 comments
The sound transmission protocol that I am using is very slow - 8-16 B/s, depending on configuration parameters. It can be directly used for sending files, but I think this kind…
ggerganov on HN> Is it any different conceptually than extending the handshake from analog modems to include the data? By "include the data" do you refer to the transmitted file itself being…

Bluetooth or BLE would be simpler for most problems

Definitely would be cool to use it as a bootstrapping method to get "into" a mesh. For example as a method for sharing wifi access credentials. But it seems most problems you…

Support for two-way communication
From 1 comment
Glad I was hearing it correctly (generally). So based on what you write here, it sounds like it can only be one way - which makes sense given the architecture. I'd be curious if…

Questions
Can sending files as sound work?
From 1 comment
Cool. What about sending files as sound too?

Is it a continuous connection or one-way only?

AndrewKemendo on HNYes, it's one-way communication. I guess, extending to two-way can involve any of the practices used in modem communication. The biggest issue though would be dealing with the…
