Totally possible, but it’s literally been supposedly right around the corner since 2021. Not a huge deal since they withdrawal cover fees, but it’s still a long overdue option
Also lightning withdrawal is inexcusably absent… still… somehow…
Visuals on this build look great. Only comment so far is that hitting the home button should probably take you to the top AND load new messages. Think it only does the first right now
#[0] how about a “global” feed that just shows posts your follows zapped? I guess it’s just another version of sorting, but would be great to have it as a separate option
I was thinking this morning it would be interesting to use nostr as a sort of handshake protocol to share access to exit nodes. You’re right… lots of interesting ideas to explore!
H/T to #[3] for introducing me to it. I don’t know how I hadn’t heard of before then.
Yes! From what I’ve read Tailscale has is a little less performant just because of all the added features. Guessing that results in lower battery life as well, but still probably better than OpenVPN and extremely user-friendly. I need to play around with wireguard directly too
Man, Tailscale is pretty incredible. I now have all of the following accessible from my phone at all times:
1. DNS resolution and ad blocking via PiHole/Unbound running on a raspberry pi at my house.
2. Access to my home network (media library, node, other personal data) as if I am on my home WiFi.
3. A free Oracle VPS instance that serves as an exit node for all my traffic This masks my home IP and provides an encrypted route for traffic when on public WiFi.
The VPS set-up was VERY simple. The most complex part was figuring out how to SSH into the remote VPS with the proper credentials. Since the VPS setup was only two lines of code I can up and move to any VPS provider if Oracle ends up being as shitty as many say.
Running your own PiHole/DNS is extremely easy using the DietPi linux distro for Raspberry Pi. I dont know how it is on other hardware, but there are many guides out there and this could easily be deployed alongside the exit node on a VPS.

Worth noting that if I had a personal relay for Nostr setup at home I could also connect to that at all times. That is on my short-list as well

Went to see a talk by Kip Thorne on the gravitational wave discovery back in 2017. Haven’t thought much about this stuff since and this podcast was a fun reintro.
I replace #2 with nostr.wine and a couple paid relays. Saves battery life and achieves a similar end state! In Damus you can optionally still add a couple public relays and just turn them off in the global feed filter
I’m only part way through but this episode was a fun one https://fountain.fm/episode/13472749167
Good point I always forget that 😅
Oh! I don’t use it but nos.mom (alternative to nos.lol) is supposedly a free filtered relay if you want to test the waters before going full bore on paid relays
The person I am talking to has specifically said she’s using Damus, but generally point taken. Hopefully most clients are making relays visible by now in some form or another
You can put your address in your profile on Damus and that sets up pretty much everything. ln.tips is worth checking out too if you haven’t! Lots of features
I highly recommend nostr.wine as they take care of some relay aggregation and rebroadcasting for you that other paid relays don’t. I joined a few though. You can always click on someone’s profile to see what relays they are on. I think some other tools like gossip might let you query your follows relay’s in a smarter way
Why only start with 5? Why not set something up to start by verifying anyone in person at nostrica? In person is a great place to bootstrap something like this
Definitely excited to see where this goes
I’ll put in another plug for nostr.wine. You add that relay and filter.nostr.wine with a couple parameters in the URL and it does automatic filtering and broadcasting to other relays that will make your experience more robust.
It’s more expensive than others but still cheap in the grand scheme of things and provides much more functionality than most!
