Did you check if Debian 10 already contains this software? Yes, it does not.

What the application you want packaged does? This relay client can be used ontop of LND to build the connection to the Sphinx client. AFAIK, this is the proper way to self-host the sphinx chat.

How does the application relate to the ideas of privacy and freedom? E2E encryption, self-hosted, Bitcoin. Especially interesting for merchants getting paid.

Alternative software I don't think there exists another communication platform that has Bitcoin payments so tightly integrated.

Integrations Which packages need/should be integrated with this software? (write x into square brackets or add your own)

Additional context It's not quite yet where I would use it professionally, but almost. So it's no priority as of now. But I'm very eager to see the further development.

If Relay gets packaged, then packaging the Tribe server makes sense too. It's used to route messages in a public group.

Yet another nodejs app :sob:

Are you sure it requires bitcoind integration? It doesn't seem to be the case.

Anyway, this app is cute but I don't consider it that valuable right now due to low network effect compared to other communication apps and sad nodejs impl. If someone wants to try packaging it, feel free but don't expect me to spend time on running tests etc.

Maybe I will create lower-tier components in experimental for untested apps if things like this one get any traction.

If there's enough demand to package the sphinx stack, it might make sense to also package https://github.com/stakwork/sphinx-meme, a selfhosted file server that connects to sphinx clients for memes & gifs & shared documents.
