Here is how I would start from scratch to have the best private nostr device and experience. Time to level up npub!

Buy an unlocked pixel 7 or higher with cash

Flash with #Graphene OS

Download Tor browser

Download Obtainium

Add Orbot

Add Amber

Add Citrine

Add Amethyst

Add Minibits

Add Zeus

Add Oxchat

Add SimpleX

Add Robosats

Add NewPipe

Select all the apps to run through Orbot

Now set up your nostr profile

nostr:nevent1qqst3quznpsjvh5crsp90z5el4d7vuqv4ectlf8mr2qgxy9thqsd9gspz3mhxw309akx7cmpd35x7um58g6rsd3e9upzpmd5wqn399avtfslyalne52du4xx066ue5sw7rva72d7rp59hvqyqvzqqqqqqyz9jxw2

Turn on Citrine and add it to the outbox relay settings in Amethyst. Add trusted relays as they see everything you do.

To add a zapping wallet open Minibits and get a free LN Address and add a mint. Now paste your LN address into Amethyst in your nostr profile.

Once you have 100k sats open a self custodial LN channel with Zeus Wallet using their LSP.

You now have an anonymous device, running over Tor, with a nostr signing device on the phone, nostr running thru orbot vpn, with a nostr relay on the phone, with a privacy preserving wallet with no personal info attatched.

For private encrypted DM log into Oxchat using Amber.

You can host your own onion nostr relay and a SimpleX server using a DIY Start9 home setup.

For purchasing No KYC sats use Robosats.

For watching and downloading videos use NewPipe.

Use Freedom Tech to stay private & sovereign!

Lol I did most of these. One thing you missed was to take advantage of mnemonic keys that were available when I came first. And honesty, got the 6a instead of the 7 the extra hundo for mild upgrades that likely wouldn't be realized with graphine didn't seem worth it. And always on VPN is fine for my threat level. I still got to live life and for is slow as shit.

I use a 6a myself, but later models will get you the longest graphene support, if you keep the phone. Not sure about the mnemonic keys but still need to add an nsec into Amber to protect keys. I am not that into browser extensions. Creating a new key in Amber is best. I only use the device for nostr/lightning and only with tor/orbot. Wifi only airplane mode. To each there own.

The latest version of amber generates a mnemonic...

👍 I thought u were suggesting that you derived your new mnemonic from your old key.

No I'm not sure how to do that. I actually did it in blue wallet on another device and enters the words into nostros which gave me the hex for amber. (Amber lets you creat but not the other way around yet.) Nostr uses the same cryptography just a different path... So technicaly I can use my hex as a bitcoin wallet.
