Reticulum Network

Hello folks,

I am completely new to this. But I want to connect my Reticulum (nomadnet) to I2P. For that purpose I am using I2Pd.

I already enabled "SAM" in the I2Pd-Config with sudo nano /etc/i2pd/i2pd.conf:

[sam]
enabled = true
address = 127.0.0.1
port = 7656

In my reticulum-config (sudo nano ~/.reticulum/config ) I got it like this:

[[I2P]]
type = I2PInterface
interface_enabled = true
connectable = yes
sam_address = 127.0.0.1
sam_port = 7656
peers = XYZnotarealaddress.b32.i2p
name = I2P

I try to connect to one peer, but my TX and RX is always 0. Nothing outgoing or incoming. But connected.

I am asking myself, if there are some "special tricks" I don't know about. Unfortunately I can't even tell if my peer-address is working properly (or is down or unactive). Where do you find decent I2P-addresses for Reticulum? This could already be helpful for troubleshooting.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I2Pd itself is working.

My work is forcing me - a non programmer - to learn how to use codex, so I decided to use it to build a sort of lightweight cms for NomadNet.

It allows you to use markdown to author content and make pages dynamic by using directives to e.g. show a list of pages (for blogs), make all files in a folder available for download, and embed images which are then converted to micron.

I built it for me, but this is a cleaned up version which is easy to clone and configure to look like you want it to look.

Hope it's useful for some of you 🙂

Been getting into Reticulum lately, and I was wondering if I can flash a T114 with the RNode software and have it connect to other peers using the meshtastic mesh already in place? Or do all nodes need to use RNode?

I was a little bit surprised about the news I came across this morning, but it seems, that the founder of Reticulum stepped back in december 2025.

So, I guess we have to pay respect and say 'thank you' to markquist for his relentless work and continue on.

As far as I can see, some efforts have been made to create a fork on Codeberg by SkyGuy:

SkyGuy mentions:

I plan on fixing bugs and re-factoring to improve maintainability and, of course, merging great, non-AI contributions!

Even though I'm a little bit sad about markquists decision, this should be understood as a chance to continue his great work. A repo on Codeberg is also definitely nice to see!

Maybe also interesting:

Hey everyone,

I'm pretty new to this Reticulum-thing, but I already came so far to create a working portable RNode. A test-messaging via Sideband also did work.

But in the long run, the goal should be to connect with many other people with the same frequency. Currently I'm located in Germany and the frequency-range should be around 868Mhz. But I am kind of unsure, what the most used exact frequency really is.

Is there a way to find out, what frequencies people in my area are using? Like a scan functionality or something like that?

Has anybody tried a T1000-E as Rnode? I am super new to all of this and just trying to figure out what hardware I need. Otherwise I would go and order a Heltec V3 which I believe is supported.

There's no Linux support yet, so i haven't tried it. If anyone does I'd like to hear about it.

Hi, I've recently started reading up on mesh networks and Reticulum, particularily over LoRa, really appeals to me. Unfortunately I'm having some trouble picking out hardware - they provide a list of supported devices but not much info on stuff like which ones are easy to use, range, best use case for each. Normally I find a relevant online community and read through old conversations until I have a better understanding of the basics, but I haven't had much luck finding a good backlog for Reticulum. I was hoping someone with more experience might be able to point me to a good starting point.

I think my goal would be to set up an RNode to act as a transport node, see if there's anyone else to connect to (I'm in a major city so I'm optimistic) and if there is, I might try hosting a NomadNet site (and maybe eventually a gemini capsule). Thanks for any advice!
