Advertize

Android app that pre-generates and schedules Nostr ad posts. Enter your nsec once, generate a batch of signed events, and the app posts them on schedule with no further interaction.

No key storage. The nsec is used only during batch generation, then wiped with 16-64 random cycles of SHA-256 overwrite.

Features

• QR scan the nsec instead of typing it
• Pre-generates 7 days of signed Nostr events (kind 1) with chained commitment tags
• Randomized posting schedule ~8h intervals with +/-2h jitter
• Smart relay discovery: fetches your follow list (kind 3), then their relay lists (kind 10002), picks the top 16 most common relays, refreshes 5 minutes before each post
• Live countdown notification shows time to next post, persists in status bar while ads are pending
• Auto-resumes on app launch or device reboot if pending ads exist
• Low-battery alert notifies you a day before ads run out
• BIP340 Schnorr signing via Go native library, compiled for all Android ABIs

Crypto is a thin Go module over git.mleku.dev/mleku/nostr compiled to native code via gomobile. No JNI hand-writing. All 4 Android ABIs bundled (arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86, x86_64).

Permissions

• Internet: relay communication
• Camera: QR code scanning (nsec input only, on-demand)
• Foreground service: persistent notification while posting, auto-starts on boot if pending
• Exact alarms: scheduled post wakeups
• Notifications: posting status and low-battery alerts
