Ask HN: Does Anyone Use Bitchat?

8 pointstmaly5 comments

I installed the app when it first came out on my iphone. I have yet to come across anyone to chat with.

Do you use it and have you found any other users?

I have it installed and configured. I've never encountered another BitChat user.

Caveat: I am in a rural area and minimally in a populated area.

Im in SF and have the same

I have tested both NYC and Fort Lauderdale and have had no luck.

I am wondering if the network needs extenders or repeaters to work.

Same problem here :)

I'm in Brazil... better odds with a walkie talkie
