Bisq is good. It’s my second favorite p2p exchange after RoboSats.

RoboSats handles txns in a similar way to Bisq, via escrow. So the sats are only released once the fiat is transferred, and vice versa. I’ve never heard of someone having an issue with it, and I’ve never had any issues myself. If there is an issue, it goes to arbitration.

Main difference is Robosats only requires a Tor browser whereas Bisq requires that you download software, which makes me a bit wary

True but Bisq does have a PGP to confirm authenticity but understand the sentiment.

In comparing those two service RoboSats is unique in that you can create any type of payment for BTC.

At a local BTC meet up we had a “buyer & seller” live demo and one paid for BTC with a gift card 😂.

Bisq has that. So not unique.

Guess I hadn’t tried that route yet 😅.

Good to know though 🤙!

Yep. Buy your Amazon gift card with cash, trade for sats on Robosats. You'll usually need to pay a slight premium, but it's still a better rate than the bitcoin ATM we have here and KYC-free to boot! Also, the ATM doesn't support Lightning.
