Nostr Web Client

Hello. I am testing Oxchat and trying to use my own server. I have a Start9 server running the Nostr Relay. I have added my private keys to the relay using Hex format so they are white listed. I have added the .onion address to Oxchat and there is a green tick saying it’s connected. I have Orbot running. Now when I try to send a message I get a red exclamation mark and the message does not get sent. I have also tried the .local address with and with out Orbot and get the same result. It’s proving to be quite frustrating not knowing where I am going wrong. Any ideas where I am going wrong? #asknostr #start9 #Oxchat

The onion address is connected to your start9 server? Do you have turn on the SOCKS proxy in 0xchat?

I have tried that setting both on and off with still no better result. Yes, the .onion address is the address generated by the Nostr Relay on the Start9 server.

Are you trying to send a DM? If so, it will send messages to the counterpart’s DM relay list. If you can’t connect to the counterpart's DM relay list, the result will be a sending failure.

I have 2 phones with separate Nsec. Both connected the same way to the same servers. I should be able to send a DM from one phone to another via my private server. That’s what I think anyway. But it keeps failing. I have tried multiple settings, with Orbot on and off. If I use the supplied DM servers then the message goes through. Trying to use my private server fails.

I see, I think you should also check your server to see whether it suports kind 1059 events
