 If you haven't spent time on an Android device running Amethyst with Citrine and Amber you are missing out on the full nostr experience. 
 Not sure that’s totally true 
 It would be interesting to try though 
 There isn't anything like Amethyst, running a private relay on your phone with your keys secured on the device not in any other client with total signing control. It is so feature rich. 
 Have you tried Nostur? It literally has all the features. And will is working on a relay inside Damus, nostrdb 
 Yes nostur is great but it is like the little step brother of Amethyst. These tools exist in a robust form. I don't understand the hesitancy to use the better tools.  
 I’m curious, why is it the little step brother? 
 It is good, it is what I would use on ios, but it still restricts my freedom to use all the tools. I mean you have to do all kinds of silliness just to zap on ios.  
 Nostur has the zap option directly in the settings…Are you referring to the zap script on Damus. Two different things
So the only thing you don’t like is the lack of amber? That’s the “restricts my freedom” part? I’m trying to understand your point 
 I know they are two separate ways because thay are different clients. Ios requires users to go thru friction to use features that are so smooth with Android. Nostur requires users to go and select a specific reaction emoji that is a hidden feature, damus is a script, primal is kyc. 

Amber is a unique app that works with any nip46 compatible nostr client. It is separate but interop. It is the answer to your very first question as to how to use other clients in a safe way. 

if you don't want to use it and don't want to have a better nostr experience where you are limited by apple then so be it. 
 Again no one said “dont want to use it”. That’s just you saying this. Thanks for explaining your point. It was hard to get it out tbh 
 My point had been the same all along. There is an easy to use solution to your concern about using your nsec in other clients. That was met with some kind of wierd pile on over not using android and that unless apple has the same solution I am some kind of idiot. 

I am pretty sure this is the equivalent of "i don't want to use it."

 You need to get off it dude.

 I thought I was muted lmfao 
 You are.  
 I never called you and idiot and I said a few times already that I want to try this 🤷🏾‍♂️ 
 Stop being so nice. Guy is obviously an idiot. His own words. 
 Comedic gold 😂😂🤌🏾

How are you Sats? 
 Doing well. Just enjoying the show & cutting way back on social shit. It gets tiring. 
 Don’t burn yourself out. You’re staying on nostr this time. Right? 
 I am. 
I gots more to say.  And scams to watch. Love the scams this cycle. Love them.  Epic. 
 You may have not directly called me an idiot but here, you think it is comedic gold when someone else piles on saying I am one. 

It is comedic gold to see these users unable to simply hear there is a tool that solves the concern they raised. 
 I say it’s comedic gold because Sats and Corn say hilarious things about the situation. I’ve known them for a while and I understand their sense of humour.  

I think you’re taking this situation way too seriously. If I ask a question about an iOS app, “get another phone” shouldn’t be the only valid answer. 🤷🏾‍♂️ 
 what is citrine? 
 Private relay on your phone on android 
 personal relay running on the phone to store all your notes locally

and expose with orbot for a outbox relay over tor on the phone

or use as a p2p nostr dm relay on the phone over tor when added to private dm inbox

 oh wow that's pretty cool 
 Very powerful. Basically means that as long ad I have my phone and wifi I can't be censored. Your client would be pulling from or posting directly with my phone.
