Nostr Web Client

Robosats do its best to preserve the privacy of users, if you avoid re-using robots you can basically leave no traces of your trade on Robosats.

There are some payment methods that are absolutely private such as F2F, but as any other option it all depends on the liquidity.

But still, people have the preference of using these other non-private options for trading, which for some people seems to be not ideal, but not absolutely terrible.

The payment method is a free text so people can use even chickens for trade. What we can't do, for sure, is to ban payment methods. It's reposability of each user to DYOR and accept the counterparts of the method they choose to trade.

Taking into consideration Robosats is not responsible of the fiat side (where the privacy is lost), what are our options?

Well for starters you restrict the premium the seller can offer for non privacy preserving payment options. If you want payment via SEPA then max 2% premium. Fuck off. But if you want to offer F2F/gift cards then you can set 10% premium. You need to find ways to incentivise privacy and educate.

Also the interface is not helpful or supportive. Get AI to write user stories/experiences to help you improve the UX/UI.

For robosats to win you have to be way more user friendly than Binance.

Here is another idea. For someone with a Nostr account and making their first robosats purchase don't make post a bond in sats to create a chicken and egg loop.

Thanks for your feedback 🧡

I don't agree on applying restrictions based on payment methods, as I said the input is free text, anybody can just skip that restriction and the only thing you will as a result is to split the liquidity of a single payment method into 2.

About education, we added a lot of popups for the next version on that line, plus there always has been https://learn.robosats.org to learn. Truth is we don't get much hands to help on the project and that documentation is probably pretty old. All help is welcome.

I think Robosats already won 😁 But as said, we don't have a UI or Sales department to spend time thinking on how to improve everything, and AI have a lot of limitations on this area. All help is welcome.

I don't understand the last paragraph about nostr. Can you elaborate?

My last point was about making it easier for people starting out. Don't make them post a bond in sats when they are coming to robosats for the first time to purchase sats for the first time? I was thinking if they can provide a valid active Nostr pubkey then that might provide enough assurance for a small initial purchase. If I have this wrong let me know.
