It suppose to be simple but it is impossible to run any nostr client on CHEAP HARDWARE. You loose devs.

My phone is cheap af
but your client is not working good enough for me.
you need to join twitter
I need to code my simple client.... :-p
i run a nostr relay over tor and vpn on a decade old ThinkPadT420 8GB Ram i5, SSD, that has a broken keyboard. very easy and cheap. That relay is part of a larger package called MyNode which runs a Bitcoin Node, LN Node, Nostr relay and many other things all in one easy click (or maybe 12).
i5 is newer than my machines. I live in a poor country at country side ;) Imagine living in Cuba, an i5 is a power machine.
KEyboard costs $5.... your i5 at least $400 in my town, is this cheap for you?
for me cheap is $0 recycled from friends.
the i5 cost me $150 .... years ago.....yes
xD well...
