Tech Meets the Road: Patrick Dajos and Josh Norris Bring Decentralized Comms to the Niche Market | HackerNoon

Learning from BitChat’s failure, founders Patrick Dajos (CTO) and Josh Norris (CEO) launched PinPop to revolutionize private, decentralized, offline messaging. PinPop uses self-healing mesh networks and advanced noise cancellation to solve connectivity issues for motorcyclists, a niche that demands reliable comms. The hybrid system seamlessly switches between online and offline (like during blackouts or in remote areas), prioritizing user control and privacy over centralized big tech.
