probably not much because it basically offloads a heap of work from the app itself, one is the signer, one is the relay, one is notifications... they all sit there doing nothing until teh user pokes at them

oh yeah, pokey might be a bit of a power drain, the other to no

Hey man , I have a question about Pokey, do you use it to replace Ntfy with Amethyst? I'm trying to understand the utility of Pokey..

Yes, that's correct. And it's so much better. It gets all of the notifications.

I would install Obtainium or Zap.store and install Amber, Citrine and Pokey through there. Here's direct links though:

Amber: https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber/releases/

Citrine: https://github.com/greenart7c3/Citrine/releases/

Pokey: https://github.com/KoalaSat/pokey/releases/

Here's a brief note I wrote about using Citrine

How to use Nostr while you're offline via Amethyst

Yesterday, some of you may have seen my test notes as I was testing out a scenario where I had lost Internet access and still wanted to use Nostr. Maybe you live in a rural area like me and sometimes your cellular service is spotty. Maybe you are about to board an airplane and don't want to pay for expensive and often shitty WiFi. This solution will work for you, if you have Android.

First, you'll need to install the Citrine relay on your mobile device. This is a relay that runs locally on your device. You can install it after you download it from GitHub or you can use an application manager such as Obtainium or Zap.store.

https://github.com/greenart7c3/Citrine

Once installed, launch the Citrine application and copy the relay URL from your notification

I know that you can add an external backup to Citrine.

Is there a guide that can show me how I can download all my older events from a public relay I've been broadcasting to?

This would essentially make my Citrine relay home to every single event that I've signed and broadcasted on Nostr since I created these keys.

It would be super cool!

Yo 🤙 what does your citrine setup look like? I just downloaded and set it up, learning as i go. So far, it's not taking my notes (although i have authorized this npub and added 1 under kinds, and added it to my relay list).

Add it to both your local and private relay list in amethyst. You should be good then.

It’s literally a relay on your phone. It backups events you post or others depending on how you set it up.
You can also use it on Amethyst as your private relay.
I didn’t know about the offline posting feature Derek described.

What are your numbers on baterry usage with all that?

See translation

SLCW

@SLCW

Oct 28, 2024

My Pokey is pulling less than 0.1% of battery usage. I comparison, Amethyst is pulling 1.4%. So Pokey's battery useage has been very good for me. I suspect its battery useage is dependant on how many notifications a user receives over time, but generally speaking it appears to be very efficient.

Derek Ross

@Derek Ross

Oct 28, 2024

At first I was impressed that my battery usage is less than 1% but now I realize that Pokey has been stopping and not showing me notifications all day long, even though it is running.

Did you disable battery optimizations for Pokey? It should be set to "Unrestricted" to keep it from being closed or deactivated by Android's regular device optimizations.

I noticed that in Graphene, if you switch users sometimed it does not connect again to the relays when you are back. Is it possible that was your case? Maybe same situation will happen if the phone was turned off.
