Jack Dorsey has introduced Bitchat, a decentralized peer-to-peer messaging application that operates on Bluetooth networks without the need for an Internet connection, phone numbers, or email addresses. It utilizes Bluetooth mesh networks for encrypted communication, allowing messages to "hop" across devices. Messages are stored only on users' devices and disappear by default, with privacy features like cover traffic, timing randomization, and ephemeral identities for user anonymity. Bitchat supports group chats identified by hashtags, which can be password-protected, and allows messages to be forwarded to offline users. Dorsey described Bitchat as a weekend project focused on exploring Bluetooth mesh networks and encryption techniques. The app is currently in beta testing via TestFlight, which has reached capacity, and there are plans to integrate WiFi Direct support to enhance its capabilities.

A new method for downloading torrent files using Google Colab has been developed to avoid notifications from internet service providers and copyright infringement penalties. This method uses the aria2 utility to mask the user's IP address by executing scripts in Google Colaboratory, which runs aria2 on a Google-hosted virtual machine. Users can download files via magnet links while their IP address remains hidden, displaying the Google server's IP instead. Downloaded files are stored in Google Drive for later access, enhancing privacy and simplifying file retrieval.
