Alice sits in her garden and wants to post an update about her thoughts using a nostr note. However, Alice's internet connection is currently down, so she is unable to share her thoughts with her network:

1. Alice initiates a new session with Samiz and creates the nostr note with her favorite nostr client.

2. The nostr client shares the note with all apps listening on her device, and also registers it on a local relay.

3. Samiz detects the note through the local relay and stores it in the running session.

4. Bob happens to be near Alice's house. He also has an open session with Samiz, so their devices automatically connect and synchronize, allowing Bob's device to store and access Alice's note.

5. As Bob sits near Charlie on the metro, who is also running a Samiz session.

6. Their apps automatically synchronizes and results on Charlie's device now storing and being able to access Alice's note.

do either Bob or Charlie also re-broadcast Alice's note to the wider network?

Yes every device they found will receive Alice's note, and so on.

They can also broadcast it to the internet once the connection is back either manually with #amethyst or automatically with #citrine (WIP)

If Bob passes a coffee place where his phone connects to the internet is Alice's note transmitted to the relays that way?

I thought she was checking out his butt 😄

She wants to take a picture of it 🤣

I don't know how i feel having my Bluetooth turned on all the time, seems like a security/privacy risk, no?

Not for security. For privacy, it all depends on your device name. Device name is the only way you have for others to know that's you, and there are some smart solutions for it.

My device name is a invisible special character, it doesn't show up anything. But i still don't feel confortable leaving my Bluetooth ON all the time when i'm not using it (e.g. for listening to music or connect my mouse/keyboard).

Having a special character is even worst for your privacy. If you use a device name nobody uses, it can easily be spotted anywhere in the word. "John Doe's Macbook Pro" is a way better privacy wise name for your device (not the best one)

As a non-tech person my thoughts are:

1- sounds like the ultimate censorship resistance tool.

2- sounds like a security vulnerability.

Can you elaborate 2?

I don’t know. I could be totally wrong about this, but seems like leaving your phone open to p2p connections could give someone a route to do something malicious. I don’t really know about this stuff though.

Not really, basically because it's not a "connection".

Samiz just sends data under a specific protocol where it'll be threaten as a plain text, that means there is no interaction or code running from the outside.

Re #2

Wouldn't you want to Nostr apps to see the notes that are received? Otherwise what's the point?

this was cool but doesn't work, right?

Did you test it?

Lol on which planet.
