Today's P2P Nostr using phone-running Relays trough Tor in production apps (works with no hacks) will be remembered as a key milestone in Nostr's history.

Is there a how-to for dummies on this yet?

Doubling down here, dummies meet nerds

Sign of greater things to come? No. Tor scales poorly as does nostr.

What we have here is a bunch of kids building dog houses dreaming of building cathedrals.

And what’s the solution?

Lower your expectations

Time to merge Orbot natively on Amethyst

And citrine hopefully. Local relays built into the app just make sense

good news - technically orbot +termux- python-nostr-relay + AmyClient should be sufficient in theory

Feels like running a bitcoin node on your phone and never using anyone else's node for anything...

But the outbox model breaks this no?

I'd imagine doing this with Pear instead of Tor would make a lot more sense

Haven't seen any app or found any way to run a pear server on a phone. Only running a pear client exits at the moment.

Perhaps a link to some explanatory docs/talk or maybe some key concepts I can use to punch into an LLM to better understand context of what’s going on here? Lots going on in Nostr world, those of us who just entered are struggling to catch up 😅

People needs a tutorial for both: Android and iOS.
