Here is how I got #citrine to work as both a local relay and as an exposed onion service as outbox relay on my phone.

Wait, can other people connect to it via onion?
How to run Citrine's relay on your phone and allow other people to connect into it to download your posts directly from your phone via Tor 🤯🤯 nostr:nevent1qqs2eqnj7xtae25qr252px0jm8mr2xfly30tsp0rvtdwryrkaua0c7gpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsyg8dk3czwy5h43dxrunh70x3fhj5celttnxjpmcdnhefhcvxskasqspsgqqqqqqsk7vtrx
Wouldn't this at this point mean turning Nostr into a P2P network? Or am I missing something?
Just outbox model with citrine being both local and exposed
"Just" 😅😅😅
I know some of those words.

I always suspected this would be possible. Didn't realize it has always been possible 😂.
This is very cool. If you do this remember to back up your hidden services secret key.
Does this work with any app? I'm going to test it on Primal/Android. I'm running my own relay but not transmitting via Tor.
I couldn't get this to work. Is it ws:// or double like always?
ws://
How do I know of it's working?
In amethyst your relay section will tell you how many relays are connected, and on latest show you the ping time as well as relay error logs When you note you can see which relays the note went to with the little drop down arrow on the left plus your relay section should have green arrows showing read/ write etc
Quite cool to get it all to flow through...what is the use case for this? Is it just having private relay on mobile? Cause you can private chat really well with Simplex chat even w/o self hosted Simplex relay
Simplex is cool, I use it. The implication is that my notes are stored on my phone and that my notes are diacovered from my phone and that my private dm inbox is on my phone. No need for public relays outside of my device.
problem in simplex contact+key+data all combined to be backed up GROWS
More chats, more data, encrypted backed grows over time. There is a system option to delete older than a month per profile if someone wants auto purge. In any case it has features I like. What's your preferred chat app?
u cannot backup contacts+restorekey only data-of-chat must be separated
Well if we're doing wish list...on this topic...I would have it tell me size of all data included and have a slider bar that I could adjust the number of weeks per contact of chat history to include and tells me the resulting size of backup. Boom

what are relays in Nostr?
Even if all relays would die, people still can dm you via your local relay in your phone. 🤯 Guide: nostr:nevent1qqs2eqnj7xtae25qr252px0jm8mr2xfly30tsp0rvtdwryrkaua0c7gpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsyg8dk3czwy5h43dxrunh70x3fhj5celttnxjpmcdnhefhcvxskasqspsgqqqqqqsrm7tuq
I'm as impressed by this as the next guy, but the one detail missing from the excitement is that this peering style requires Tor nodes to exist. "even if every relay went down, you could still connect to my phone!" Yes - as long as there are still Tor nodes. This is an enormous leap forward for decentralized communications but I hope the next hop is in the direction of true peer to peer approaches that don't rely on Tor. nostr:nevent1qqs2eqnj7xtae25qr252px0jm8mr2xfly30tsp0rvtdwryrkaua0c7gpr3mhxue69uhhg6r9vd5hgctyv4kzumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tczyrkmgup8z2t6cknp7fml8ng5me2vvl44enfqauxemu5muxrgtwcqgqcyqqqqqqgdk2fuq

So after running my citrine relay like this for a bit but I found out it was quickly being used by more people than just me and for more than just a DM inbox and found events stored on my phone that I dident want (ai porn, bot posts and the like) I tryed setting citrine to only accept events from me and to only allow events refering to me (in the hope of not blocking DMs) but thats seems to not be working. Gonna close off citrine again but its fun to know that i can open it up. Might open it up again if I can filter what gets in the relay better but for now I prefer to have it as a local backup. If you use nostrudel on your phone you can go to your relays add citrine, click on it and nostrudel will show you what notes are coming from the relay (if I understand the feature corectly) I was also able to kind of double check and confirm that it wasn't just me using the relay because I told Citrine to delete anything that was more than a day old but to keep posts from me and my kind 1 stored events went from like 2,500 to around a thousand So just a heads up for people out there if you start using your phone relay as a DM inbox relay. Very quickly can become used by people you don't want it to. nostr:nevent1qqs2eqnj7xtae25qr252px0jm8mr2xfly30tsp0rvtdwryrkaua0c7gpzfmhxue69uhkummnw3eryvfwvdhk6tczyrkmgup8z2t6cknp7fml8ng5me2vvl44enfqauxemu5muxrgtwcqgqcyqqqqqqg3nz9ws nostr:nevent1qqs2eqnj7xtae25qr252px0jm8mr2xfly30tsp0rvtdwryrkaua0c7gpzfmhxue69uhkummnw3eryvfwvdhk6tczyrkmgup8z2t6cknp7fml8ng5me2vvl44enfqauxemu5muxrgtwcqgqcyqqqqqqg3nz9ws
🤘 I got this working with amethyst but now I'm trying to make it work with 0xchat. If I set orbot as full device VPN it works but if I tunnel 0xchat individually 0xchat won't connect to the .onion relay. This happens with or without the proxy set in 0xchat. Amethyst seems to work with orbot in either app or VPN mode. Has anyone had success getting this to work with 0xchat and orbot in app mode? #0xchat #citrine #orbot
