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 :)

⚡ 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 @npub1v3t…yvjh 🔥🚀

Ah, seems I (social media volunteer) was a bit too optimistic with the current progress 😅😅, see an answer from a dev: It's working at a low capacity at the moment, and will keep runing this way for a little time. The LND node of RoboSats behaves very unstable. It will take over a week until we can fully replace the node and be back at 100%.

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

Oops, you mentioned the bond hold invoice. But the same still applies, as the seller's escrow is also a hold invoice too.

Anonymity is only possible if you use a truly private payment method. While CashApp is a possible (and popular) payment method on RoboSats, it is not very private and does not guarantee safe trading. My understanding is that CashApp allows you to use an anonymous username handle but there is risk of charge back by your peer. So a more private and irreversible payment method is recommended like gift cards, for example.
RoboSats let's you be as anonymous as you want! Every new trade on RoboSats is a new identity (never re-use the same identity more than once). So the anonymity really comes from the fact that RoboSats requires 0 personal information to make trades and the fiat payment method is done in E2E encrypted chat with only your peer.
So that's why it's recommended to also use a payment method that is private because your peer is the only individual who could "find you out" because of your payment method. To an outside observer (like your fiat rail institution), it would appear you sent a random individual money unrelated to anything bitcoin. Just be sure to not include something like "bitcoin" or "robosats" in the payment comment field haha 😁

Interesting stats 📊
As more and more users join the RoboSats order books (more liquidity and less imbalance between supply/demand), the avg premium on exchange orders is driven down from ~5% to ~3.5%!
Spread the good word of P2P to help reduce supply/demand imbalance!! 🤖⚡

Sorry to hear that 😢 Well, at least the same mistake won't be made twice 😅
Indeed, the BTC<->FIAT market rate will typically come with a premium and a positive premium is above that rate, whereas a negative premium is below that rate (AKA a "discount")
In future, you could try explaining to your peer in the P2P chat stage that you took this order before realizing the premium was negative, and hopefully your peer would understand so that you both could collaboratively cancel the order. Collab cancel means your bond isn't forfeited.

The goal of the Telegram chat was to make an easily accessible location to ask questions and seek help in a public forum. So from a community forum perspective, its easier and more accessible (wider audience available and existing user base) as well as an ability to sufficiently moderate community group chats.
The reality is also that casual (nontechnical) users who need the most help are disinclined to download a dedicated app to ask for help even if its a more private option. These casual users would more likely already have Telegram.
But regardless of privacy aspects, the fact the group chat owner account is currently irrecoverable is a different issue with services like Telegram.

Yes! Similarly and equally devious: whoever controls the fiat on/off ramps controls the world!
What good is a censorship resistant and immutable money if normies can't safely and privately exchange with it? P2P is the way 👍

Stack sats privately P2P with services like RoboSats 🤖⚡
If you don't see an existing order that fits your needs, create your own order!
Telling others to use P2P instead of VEXs (verification exchanges) helps grow P2P liquidity and makes Bitcoin a more robust privacy network!
