Abstract
Methods, systems, and storage media for relaying a message through an offline mesh network are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: relay messages by changing device names within a network; generate, at an initial node, an encoded message comprising a payload, an account identifier for the initial node, and an account identifier for the destination node; relay the encoded message through one or more intermediary nodes; determine, by each of the one or more intermediary nodes, whether device names in the vicinity are encoded messages and; in response to the determining, deliver the encoded message to the destination node; and cause display of the encoded message through the destination node.
