Probably nothing. Nothing at all.

I know this is significant...
But I don't understand it.
My phone -> Tor -> His phone
No public relays.
Did you said that citrine is wat 😳
Citrine is a relay on the phone by @greenart7c3
Yeah I know but I thought it wasn't suppose to send messages as an actual relay, that's cool.
That's... Wow.
It does if you open the connection to the outside world via Orbot.
E2E messages on The Nostr protocol via Tor
Can someone explain this please
In so far as Tor isn't a "public relay".
Citrine to Citrine?
Nice, didn't know Orbot let you publish a local service.
This is VERY SIGNIFICANT!
VERY!
Oh wow just realized you can tap the node icon at the top of amethysts DM screen to pick the relays used. Is this per DM?
Droid only? Wild!
No.
Aren't DMs signed forever by the author and are then easily leakable?
I agree. I want one as well.
I need an explanation of this particular bit of Nostr technology. Got a bollog post explaining it?
TOR can be seriously useful sometimes
In this way, the DM goes from my phone to his phone without anyone seeing it. But if people get access to his private key AND the DM event, they can decrypt it.
And that is the same design of Signal and others: You have to have both the seed/key and the local database to decrypt.
How do I make this configuration? I'm using Orbot + Primal/Damus on iOS. Or is this only for Android? I have the impression that Orbot works better on Android.
write the 'how to' and post it
often.
I don't know if it works. It requires iOS to open connections to the phone via Tor.
That's a story for @. to tell.
You are amazing. I wish I could help, but all I can do is sit and watch and admire from the side.
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. Thanks to @npub1m64h...uaks for the idea!
Download Citrine and start as local relay
Open Orbot
Tap more
Tap onion hosted services
Tap user services
Tap +
Add any name to service
Add 4869 to both ports
Hit save
Exit from orbot
Restart orbot by closing out or force close
Restart orbot and connect orbot vpn again
Tap hosted services and copy new onion url
Open #Amethyst and go to relays
Add ws://yournewonionaddress. onion:4869 to outbox relay
Remove any other outbox relay
Hit save

!
I saw that. I still am not comprehending enough about this to want to bother trying it yet.
What is happening
This is definitely significant.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for hosting my own outbox relay on my Umbrella, though?
The one on the app store is definitely designed to just be a backup of your notes, but is there a way to do something similar to this, or install a different relay implementation that would do the trick?

Well done fellow privacy focused plebian. This could be a good video tutorial at some point. I think if I start a channel, which I'm considering, this will be a certain addition. That said there will be a lot of things to go through.
Sounds a bit like Holochain there
Nostr via floppy disk next 😏
Oh yeah now we're cooking with gas
I wonder if there's a way to incorporate I2P instead of Tor as a Citrine relay.
