The RoboSats Experimental coordinator entered an scheduled maintainance yesterday just as planned 👷‍♂️ The stop will take about 1 week. You know what's cool though? We recently pre-released our decentralized (multi-coordinator) client, so you can still use RoboSats. This might be a great chance to run some trade of small size in the new coordinators. You can simply open dex.robosats.com in Tor Browser :) https://image.nostr.build/f03bd2505af6e34d048445ae2ef7e3ad71b41665fa0c7402135f8fa20def368f.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x1591&alt=RoboSats+Experimental+maintenancd+stop+notice&blurhash=%5E4Oz0qE100%5E%2B00WBR5RikXtRaxWB00Rj%5E*t6_2ofozbHV%40WAj%5Bof00xu%5E%2BIU%7EWj%5BNFxuRkIoxuWB00t7_2Ri%7EWWBNLRkxts%3AR%25of00oJ%3FbW%3F%5E%2BWB&x=2bdc30abf948c269fbec2db12cd54b010d8dfd320fc1dd90279c2b929b99c079

⚡ Did you already try the decentralized RoboSats app? It allows you to connect with any RoboSats coordinator from your browser over Tor (and from your Umbrel / StartOS nodes soon!) We are hosting the client app for you to try it in: robodexarjwtfryec556cjdz3dfa7u47saek6lkftnkgshvgg2kcumqd.onion You can also use the shortcut https://dex.robosats.com in Tor Browser.

🤖 RoboSats v0.5.3 is out! 🚀 🟠 The main change on this version is the much improved F2F feature by @KoalaSat . The app now allows robots to add a location for face-to-face cash trades. The book page will display a map with all F2F orders. To best protect robots privacy, the exact location of the order is slightly randomized (just in case someone is reckless enough to pin their own house!). The location is randomized in a radius of ~15 Km. This means it's not possible to be precise, and the exact location for the f2f trade can only be shared on the encrypted chat. Note that enabling high-resolution maps can leak your IP to external tiling servers if you are not using Tor Browser. Of course, adding a geolocation tag to your order is only useful for face-to-face cash payment method. You can completely disregard this feature if you do not want to use this payment method. If you like the amazing work KoalaSat put into this feature you can let him know by zapping some Sats to @KoalaSat 🔥🚀

When someone explains why they have yet to use a P2P exchange to stack sats privately 😁:

In a P2P market, users create the large-scale liquidity that they want to see! P2P exchanges can't conjure immediately available liquidity in a slew of currencies (that’s not very P2P). P2P exchanges depend on your help with word of mouth advertising. So, spread the word! 🤖⚡️

You cannot "undo" the identity verification process! If you want complete privacy in regards to how much you own, don't buy on an exchange that records this information. Mixing coins doesn't change the institution's record-keeping of how much BTC you've withdrawn from them.

Help grow P2P liquidity in your local currency! Tell a friend! 🤖⚡ Note that sellers get more bang for their sats when selling on P2P exchanges w/ premiums versus verification exchanges (VEXs) Check out private (ethical) options when selling/buying BTC:

Consider Telegram groups deprecated. Long story short: the group owner was indiscriminately banned by Telegram and thus managing the group effectively is no longer possible. The silver lining: we can start fresh with a far more private messaging app.

P.S. ... Would highly recommend anyone actively using Telegram consider dropping it entirely in favor of a more private and secure messaging app (one where you can't be indiscriminately banned!!) If you have friends using RoboSats, please make them aware of this update! 🤖⚡

RoboSats requires ZERO personal info from you to use the platform! Simply create a fresh avatar identity and provide the fidelity bond (typically 3% of the order amount)! If you're unsure about anything, reach out to the public Telegram support group:

RoboSats on nostr has been a little quiet ... Sorry about that!! ICYMI there's an amazing guide created by qna@bitcoiner.chat that simply and eloquently explains how to use RoboSats!! Aptly named: "RoboSats 101" 🤖⚡ Check it out:
