let's talk channels in #meshcore
• always flood all messages through the mesh
• public channels are not encrypted
• hashtag channels are encrypted with a hash of the channel name
• private channels are encrypted with a shared secret
• no forward secrecy, assume even private channel packets getting recorded and can be decrypted back in time after getting hands on shared secret
• in contrast to private messages, channel messages do not provide a way to verify sender, name prefixed to text
