Oddbean new post about login | logout Not Gonna Lie I hate how most Devs don't want to address this on the Relay protocol level and the only client with Tor option is #Amethyst, thanks @npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z but we need more. nostr:note10lppucyp5f0ax7egjw4r4ae5j2vz40qdhhu4epvhkhfm22468j9qzd9p80
Place bounties and devs will follow. Money talks. :)
@Gigi @ODELL @OpenSats I think it is worth adding Tor natively into apps and not rely on Orbot. @Vitor Pamplona You have insight into this. What would it take to add Tor natively? What is missing? I know Samourai and Sparrow both have Tor and are written in Java.
I have to do some research on libs for that. Last time it was still too complicated and relying on binaries that I didn't want to rely, but maybe these libs improved a bit.
The Tor foundation could offer some answers or guidance. Depending on what the friction points are, it might be worth funding something more streamlined. Like an equivalent of BDK, LDK, and NDK fordevelopers to integrate Tor. Or, even just documentation on their end. Perhaps you gather a list of questions you have and ask other developers such as ( @jb55 @Mike Dilger ) if they have any Tor questions. Pass the questions to the people working on Tor and use their answers/guidance as a starting point for development docs.
