Clarification: this is a transport network, the messaging protocol that everyone wants to use, if works without problems over IPV6 can be used on the Locha Mesh

The Matrix protocol seems to need access to their distributed servers which serve API access.

For the Locha Mesh first off-grid messaging feature we'll be making asynchronous messages (ala email) which go from the sender through hops to the recipient's Turpial device and it is served to the recipient's smartphone or PC from the Turpial.

as @luisan00 mentions above, anything else can be built on top of the Locha Mesh protocol, but in the case of Matrix, it seems to need you to at least reach one of the distributed servers for your message to be stored and delivered to the recipient. There will be gateways running inside the Locha Mesh bridging to the Internet to reach servers like these (e.g. to reach the Bitcoin mempool), but for the off-grid communication system to work on an isolated mesh it needs to be able to work as a messaging system without having to rely on servers.

Depending on community support the integration of Matrix, Secure Scuttlebutt, and/or other distributed messaging systems could be added in the future.

I'll set this issue to closed. This could be re-open if/when the Matrix.org protocol finish their distributed self-server version to revisit if needed.
