Problem
Hi everyone, especially @ni5arga 👋
Following the review on my previous PR, I'd like to discuss a few protocol decisions before working on a new implementation.
I think it's better to agree on the design first rather than keep changing the code later as @ni5arga's bot suggested
- Identity
Should emergency alerts carry the sender's long-term identity, or should they use an ephemeral/anonymous identity to better protect user privacy?
- UI
My previous implementation showed the number of nearby reports (e.g. "7 people nearby"), but since this can't currently be authenticated, would it be better to not show a count at all in V1?
- TTL
The review also pointed out that emergency messages currently use the default mesh TTL (6 hours), while the docs mention 15 minutes.
Should emergency messages have their own TTL (e.g. 15 minutes), or is there a better approach?
I'd love to hear your thoughts before I start working on the next PR. Once we agree on the design, I'll implement it in smaller, focused PRs.
Proposal
let us settle three things first and I like to hear @ni5arga approach first
Safety notes
No response
