Flow:
Degoogle your device with GrapheneOS
Run Mullvad VPN, Orbot, Tor browser
Use Zapstore or Obtainium to get FOSS APKs

Create a new nsec (your private key) in Amber, do not plug the nsec anywhere. Use Amber to cryptographically sign your nostr notes for you. You are in control of approving and signing your nostr events. Like a hardware key signer for nostr.

Open Amethyst and sign in using Amber. The nsec is kept on the device in Amber.

Go to Amethyst privacy settings. Run internal tor or orbot.

Go to citrine. Enter your npub (public key) (NOT NSEC) into "accept events signed by and referred to". This will keep your local nostr relay on the device limited to you being able to write to that relay.

Go to Amethyst relay settings. Enter Citrine relay url into the local relay section and save. Enter your Start9 private home relay into personal relay section and save.

Select an Outbox relay: this is where your notes will be sent and read by others from.

Select an Inbox relay: this is where your likes, replies and zaps are sent and where your client pulls them from for you.

In general relay section toggle read or write up/down arrows on about ten other relays to read from to get content

Add a LN address to your profile or use your <yournpub>@npub.cash

Go to cashu.me and save it as a pwa
Onboard, select a cashu mint and setup ln address
Select auto redeem
Copy NWC to add to zap settings in Amethyst with a long hold on zap icon

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You now have a:
- private phone with a local nostr relay running on it
- private nostr signing device with private keys secured
- a client running over tor
- private self hosted backup nostr relay
- anonymous zaps and lightning address

Nostr is a powerful freedom protocol, use it to the max
