In my world, most have no clue about bitcoin, nobody knows about NOSTR let alone SimpleX. To try to get people to download another app will be like pulling teeth. I’ve built a start9 server, running a node and iris relay but other than my Nostr peeps here its crickets. Even i dont understand half of this stuff.
Bring it, my place is always open to bitcoiners. Are you near Toronto?
Happy Friday Nostr bitches.

Have you tried the NEO store?
The episode with nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m drops tomorrow.
Not sure what time because I don’t really know what I’m doing but will definitely be out tomorrow.
Will be released on all streaming platforms and will try to post it here on nostr
Much love! 🫂🤙 
Can’t wait. You’re not suicidal by any chance are you?
I’ve setup Tor on all my devices and still can’t access my start9 outside of my Wi-Fi. I think this is something to do with my modem.
I’m not sure how to check that.
nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll may have a better or easier solution for you.
but off of the top of my head, the easiest one would be to use tailscale. it's a private VPN. install this app on your node and set it up on your phone. then add your relay to your nostr profile. i.e. wss://start9-node-name:1234 and then you'd need to launch your tailscale each time you want to connect to your own relay before you launch your nostr client.
the harder way, the way it do it, so i don't have to launch a VPN each time i connect to my node, requires some knowledge of command line and port forwarding on your router. if you want to go that route i can help later. heading to fireworks now.
I’m using the paid version of proton vpn and I’ve been looking into purchasing a new router to set up DD-WRT. Enjoy the fireworks there’s no rush on my end. I think I bit off more than I can chew. I went from using an iPhone to bitcoin, to nodes, Lightning, servers, Linux and now nostr. All in about a year. My head hurts. Tech support at start9 has been great btw.
No I can’t access my start9 outside of my Wi-Fi at all. I set it up but I haven’t figured it out yet. I’m new to all this stuff.
Welcome new Nostriches! Why would you want to run your own relay?
You don't have to do it. However, if you do, it puts you in charge of your social data for the very first time! No one can delete your notes or events. You are in change of your own data! Your notes cannot be banned, censored, or deleted. If any of these were to happen on any of the public relays that you use, you simply rebroadcast your notes and events to other relays. It's beautiful.
The easiest method is to use one of the "node" platforms out there from nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct , nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll, or nostr:npub1r29mgme6rnyj5sljdnerfty9ewwnj2nje76d0qqyhvt0wkhncxvsyc23pd . However, if you aren't afraid of the command line and have your own hardware, you can use Nostream by nostr:npub1qqqqqqyz0la2jjl752yv8h7wgs3v098mh9nztd4nr6gynaef6uqqt0n47m . https://github.com/cameri/nostream
You'll want to make sure your relay isn't writeable by the world, but is accessible and writeable by you and maybe your friends and family.
If you have questions, jus ask. Good luck!
I’ve set my own private relay through start9 but i dont think its working. Im also using DAMUS on iOS and amethyst on grapheme but for some reason there are more relays running on DAMUS than amethyst and only 2 followers.
Been playing with google pixel 7 pro with grapheneos for a couple of months. Not ready to switch until i get it right but so far this will do everything that my iphone 14 pro max does..
