I think it is worth adding Tor natively into apps and not rely on Orbot. nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z 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 ( nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c ) 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.
When i worked on the green wallet they compiled tor as a static lib and used it directly in gdk. Definitely possible if you don’t mind native integrations.
