Why not just use #Bisq?
Discussion
Please elaborate.
I don't even know if the person I want to support has a bank account. But Wallet of Satoshi or SME other lightning wallet will work in Lebanon.
So now I need to find someone there who will convert into USD...
I'm not quite sure what you mean. How will the conversion take place if the recipient doesn't have a bank account? I assume, from your comments, using an anonymous stablecoin like Haven isn't an option?
If my friend in Lebanon finds someone who accepts bitcoin. I'd send that person bitcoin worth 100 USD and my friend would receive 99 USD, or something like that.
It's way cheaper for me than sending a bank transferral using iban / swift
It sounds like you need a replacement for https://localbitcoins.com/
Of course they've closed but there must be something similar
I don't think they'd need a bank account.
Certainly in the UK, you send btc to the address that pops up on the screen and it throws out cash.
In the UK, the options I've seen are for pounds dollars and euros. I think that's the norm.
It usually dispenses dollars, euros and whatever the local currency is. I think.
The main issue is the cut they take, which varies between 5% and 10%. It's certainly worth considering as a last resort.

I'm sure there are more.
Oh and https://localcoinswap.com/
You mean I should offer to sell btc on robosats for Lebanese Lira? How would that help? I'm not in Lebanon and my friend needs USD...
I appreciate you trying to help me, I just can't see how bisq or robosats could be of any help
What about a bit of lateral thinking?
Could the recipient not use a bitcoin ATM?
