I'm as impressed by this as the next guy, but the one detail missing from the excitement is that this peering style requires Tor nodes to exist. "even if every relay went down, you could still connect to my phone!" Yes - as long as there are still Tor nodes.
This is an enormous leap forward for decentralized communications but I hope the next hop is in the direction of true peer to peer approaches that don't rely on Tor.

Here is how I got #citrine to work as both a local relay and as an exposed onion service as outbox relay on my phone. Thanks to Ryan (nprofile…g7ce) for the idea!

Download Citrine and start as local relay

Open Orbot
Tap more
Tap onion hosted services
Tap user services
Tap +

Add any name to service
Add 4869 to both ports

Hit save
Exit from orbot
Restart orbot by closing out or force close
Restart orbot and connect orbot vpn again
Tap hosted services and copy new onion url

Open #Amethyst and go to relays
Add ws://yournewonionaddress. onion:4869 to outbox relay
Remove any other outbox relay
Hit save
