Where is LoRa technology headed with regard to Meshtastic versus Meshcore?
I was recently going to buy and set up a couple of Meshtastic nodes/repeaters but decided to wait as I get the impression that Meshcore is gaining consensus as the better technology.
I'm aware that most LoRa electronics can be flashed with either, but I see no point in going too far down the path of learning about one, only to have to switch to the other.

@ratcatcher I would just get a couple of heltec v3s as a cheap intro. They do either, well.
Seems to me meshcore has the momentum.

@ratcatcher it really seems as though the two standards seem to address slightly different use cases.
You can set up static nodes with both, but Meshtastic seems to excel when you need rapid deploy of ad-hoc networks (hiking trips, staying connected at concerts or rallies where cell service will get overloaded etc) and Meshcore seems to be the stronger option for establishing more permanent static networks.
