I think it would be good to add a contact list to the Grim wallet, with a function to check if the contact’s address is online next to it. This way, I can send coins to the contact whenever their address is online.

Then you can also send the message text, request invoice, etc.

Ah, so the grin node would act as a Transport / Propagation node for Reticulum? That makes sense.
But it wouldn’t be strictly necessary because I think if you’re using reticulum on your phone, it’s automatically seeking out and finding those nodes anywhere it is able.
I mean Reticulum address for p2p communication at node sync, currently we have problems with IP addresses, like you can not launch several nodes on single PC or from containers since it uses local IP address and p2p server compares IP addresses ignoring ports, it also will be good for privacy. For example I use proxy at my network and can not connect to seed nodes since someone with same local IP already connected.
So I started experimenting with Tor for p2p server. 60% Bitcoin nodes are running at Tor. For .onion address we need to generate secret for address and encrypt it with password, entering password every time, like we are doing at mwixnet or keep plain at grin-server.toml, idea is to make p2p server more universal so users can have a choice which network to use to not rely on IP addresses only.

@trab Do you know what this “Scrit” thing is about? Tried to look into it but I could not find it.
Based on what he says it sounds like Grin and Reticulum are quite compatible.
