peak battery drain
I gotta get that citrine running. Been to lazy to install it and set it up.
Tis a feature.
It's takes only a minute to do. Work hard.
Can confirm.
How'd you get my phone? 😂
Hackerman.
Nostr is running in the background.
Citrine is great. Having a relay directly on the phone is amazing
Agree. I love it for my drafts and offline posting.
Nostr is the social glue that binds all of our applications together 🫂💜🤙🏻
Who's going to make a custom GrapheneOS with all these things at system level?
I know pokey sends push notifications to your android from nostr but what do citrine and amber do? Please #explainlikeimfive I’m not someone versed in coding or computer science
That would be bad ass.
Will doesn't have Amethyst to have a good reference for battery drain.
Can you elaborate?
Peak Nostr (Pokey now has embed Tor too, so there are 4 services here)
Citrine is a 'relay in your phone' app and Amber is a private key management / signing app.

This is a really cool feature
What are your numbers on baterry usage with all that?
At first I was impressed that my battery usage is less than 1% but now I realize that Pokey has been stopping and not showing me notifications all day long, even though it is running.
I noticed that in Graphene, if you switch users sometimed it does not connect again to the relays when you are back. Is it possible that was your case? Maybe same situation will happen if the phone was turned off.
Anyways, I got reports from users and it seems to still use <1% when it actually works
I'm not using Graphene. I force closed and restarted the app. It seems to be working now. I'll see if it continues working the rest of the day. I wonder if Adaptive Battery killed the process?
It shouldn't. Next time chekc your relays tab. If there is nothing or just a few, try just the Stop and Start button. It should do the trick
Yo 🤙 what does your citrine setup look like? I just downloaded and set it up, learning as i go. So far, it's not taking my notes (although i have authorized this npub and added 1 under kinds, and added it to my relay list).
Add it to both your local and private relay list in amethyst. You should be good then.
What does it do for me to run a relay on my phone?
You can view this as a local backup of your data.
Turning on/off a VPN also causes this issue
It’s literally a relay on your phone. It backups events you post or others depending on how you set it up.
You can also use it on Amethyst as your private relay.
I didn’t know about the offline posting feature Derek described.
Battery from 100 to 0 in how many minutes?
I can validate that. I use Graphene, and Pokey worked the first time. I switched profiles and I've not been able to get it to work since, even though it says it's running. I've even uninstalled/reinstalled everything (Pokey, Zapstore, Amethyst), it seems I completely broke it. 😑
Oh. This could be my issue then.
😂🤣✅
Can you point me to tutorials on how to implement that set up? I’m useless… or would you consider making one yourself??
I would install Obtainium or Zap.store and install Amber, Citrine and Pokey through there. Here's direct links though:

Citrine: 
Pokey: 
Here's a brief note I wrote about using Citrine

Check your relay list next time. It should get fixed if you just stop and start the service. The bad news is that notifications before restart won't appear again.
nobody has PHONE anymore ! Android Portable Device vs ARM Linux Portable Device vs pocket X64 mini PC ALL are battery powered 5V or 12V
I want a smartphone that looks like this 🥹
😎👌
It would be an amazing feature to automatically re-broadcast events created while offline when the connection resumes @greenart7c3
😀
Hey man , I have a question about Pokey, do you use it to replace Ntfy with Amethyst? I'm trying to understand the utility of Pokey..
Yes, that's correct. And it's so much better. It gets all of the notifications.
Did you disable battery optimizations for Pokey? It should be set to "Unrestricted" to keep it from being closed or deactivated by Android's regular device optimizations.
My Pokey is pulling less than 0.1% of battery usage. I comparison, Amethyst is pulling 1.4%. So Pokey's battery useage has been very good for me. I suspect its battery useage is dependant on how many notifications a user receives over time, but generally speaking it appears to be very efficient.
localhost is freedom.
This is how I Nostr
How hard is the battery impact?
YES
probably not much because it basically offloads a heap of work from the app itself, one is the signer, one is the relay, one is notifications... they all sit there doing nothing until teh user pokes at them
oh yeah, pokey might be a bit of a power drain, the other to no
thank you, testing now
success. thanks brother
Awesome. You're welcome. Glad you got it figured out.
