#Amethyst v1.00.0: Full Outbox
This version completes our migration to the outbox model, where the app dynamically manages the relay list used to pull posts from your follows' own relay lists. By default, the app will connect to relays that aren't in your lists through our embedded Tor. Normal usage will connect to hundreds of relays. Many of them will fail, and that's ok. Nostr has baked-in redundancy; these failures won't affect your experience.
New relay lists were added to the UI to help you manage how the app works. Specifically, you can now block relays and add trusted relays. Trusted relays will connect outside of Tor, which is faster, but allows those relays to see your IP. You should only add relays there if you trust the relay operator. Proxy relays (like filter.nostr.wine) can be added to the proxy list. After that, the app will only use those relays to download the content for your feeds, disabling the outbox model. DMs and other non-outbox functionality will still use their own relays. Broadcasting relays can be added to push your events out there. Every new event from the app will be sent to all broadcasting relays. Finally, the new Indexer list allows you to choose which relays to use to find users, like purplepages.es.
For users of our Quartz library, we have finished all of the work to change the library's mindset from a fixed list to a dynamic pool of relays. Now, each NIP has its own dedicated folder and defines its own tags and caching structures. This expansion allows us to add diverse functionalities such as relay clients, relay servers, event builders, Nostr filter builders, caching systems, deletion and event hint indexers, helper functions, and more—all specifically tailored to each individual NIP. This modular approach creates the space to develop each NIP independently and integrate them into Amethyst as distinct modules, while still sharing Amethyst's main relay and cache engine when necessary. We expect fewer breaking changes as we move forward with it. At some point, Quartz will move to its own repository and be converted to a Kotlin Multiplatform project for each NIP/module. This will allow us to build demo/testing applications for each NIP in the same repo.

Its your search relays. You don't have any. I am surprised that tagging is even working. Go to the relay list and press the reset button on search.
And since you are there, do the same for the DM list.

#Amethyst v0.94.2: Fixes Tor leaks
This release fixes two Tor leaks introduced during the migration of two APIs in v0.94.0.

#Amethyst v0.94.0: Encrypted Media on DMs
Now every upload on DM chats will be encrypted to the destination's pubkey following the same spec 0xChat uses. This offers a massive update in privacy from the common "hidden link" design.

Amethyst's left drawer, backup keys. On the bottom part of the screen insert a password and hit export. The ncryptsec1 will be copied to the clipboard. Then add nostr: in front of it to make a URI and put it on the NFC tag.

FYI, we just fixed a bug where Amethyst was using the Tor connection to find Citrine. But that didn't create this strange screen on Citrine...

Make sure to make the NFC tag using the URI mode and add nostr: in the beginning.
nostr:ncryptsec1...

#Amethyst v0.92.0: Tor and NFC-hosted transient accounts
This version ships with a Tor service enabled by default to access .onion urls and untrusted relays from the Outbox model. It also offers NFC-hosted transient accounts: accounts that log off as soon as the app goes to the background, deleting all traces of the account from the phone.
Write your ncryptsec to an NFC tag and hide it in your clothing. When you need to use Amethyst, tap the tag, insert your password and login. Lock the screen to delete everything. If you are an activist and if your phone is confiscated, they will never find anything on the phone. Not even your public key. Ncryptsec is a NIP-49-based password-encrypted nsec. If you need, you can destroy and dispose the NFC tag.
Features:
- Adds tor node
- Adds multiple settings for the use of Tor
- Adds privacy presets to simplify Tor choices
- Adds support for NFC-hosted transient accounts

You should be able to disable DMs on the Phone's settings/notifications/amethyst

Hum.. are the listed options in the text not enough? Maybe it's too early for them, but not choosing your own relays is not very different than just using centralized Twitter. We have to teach them how to do this.

Interesting. Does the same thing happen when you try to unblock a blocked user?

You can just add a filter by his name or profile picture, like xDBupZD (you won't see this reply after you add it)

Yep, that is coming, we just need to restructure the way we cache counts.

That's strange. What happens when you press the unblock button? Nothing happens or do they disappear but if you close the window and reopen they come back?

Translation ai modeis + profile pictures. Some folks use 50MB gifs in their profiles, so 1GB is actually super easy in nostr.
