Wait, can other people connect to it via onion?
Yes.

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.
Holy fuck 👀

How should we call you, master?
@dluvian can your app do that?

I've set up a Tor hidden service with a local Citrine relay running on my phone and added it to my DM relays.
You can now message me on nostr through Tor by directly connecting to my phone.

This is very cool. If you do this remember to back up your hidden services secret key.

I couldn't get this to work. Is it ws:// or double like always?
ws://
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.

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
Before I log out for the day.
Do I need to broadcast any notes from this new feature?
few other relays also can work on andriod so long hiddenservice part is done corectly in orbot
problem in simplex contact+key+data all combined to be backed up GROWS
I can see it has errors in the relays section. Should we see connections in the citrine home page?
they need SEPARATE it in code

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?
Couldn't that be added to all client apps to make your phone a relay. But nostr and the clients would have to dynamically choose relays. This way the relay system could be honestly decentralized.
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?
wwwww
Even if all relays would die, people still can dm you via your local relay in your phone. 🤯

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.

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.

Is there any way to make Citrine work with wss instead of ws?
🤘 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
Do you have the option to set user onion hosts to 'when available'?
I'm not seeing that setting in 0xchat.
this one?

@Ryan @.? Trying to find it
Ryan
# Citrine setup
Go to the settings tab.
Fill things in as appropriate. Leave the network related settings default.
# Orbot setup
In orbot got to more/hosted onion services.
Add a new service.
Citrine uses port 4869, so set that for both ports. Name it anything. "Nostr" will do.
You will need to restart orbot after you save. Then you can go back and copy your onion service address.
# Amethyst Setup
Add ws://ONIONADDRESS:4869 as an outbox and DM address in Amethyst. Also add ws://127.0.0.1:4869 as a local relay
This requires running Tor at all times!
😎👌
Thank you sir 🫡
