I would say reticulum lacks the main thing: simple low-power solar node setup. In MeshCore you can just put LoRa motherboard and battery into the case with antenna and solar panel - and you are done. In Reticulum (if I'm not mistaken) you need also something like Pi to be installed nearby for encrypting/decrypting, and this means different order of magnitude power consumption which is not really compatible with a solar remote setup. Or am I wrong ? I thought of trying to make a reticulum solar setup this summer by myself, but haven't done it yet, and for MeshCore there are many videos already on the YT, and many nodes installed in many places.
