I was initially turned off by the doxy mobile number.
When I thought about it, I realised that the seller already has my full name anyway from the deposit details.
A WoT makes a lot of sense.
the phone number is your web of trust and everything happens client side with encryption. Vexl doesn't know your phone number. As your network grows the face 2 face trades will be the likely go to for the best privacy. in Czech republic I only do face to face trades and I prefer it it's fun and there's no paper trail.
He doesn't need to have your full name. You can trade with other people even without revealing your identity. It's a bit risky, but when you will have for example 10+ common contacts, you can give it a shot.
They do when you use the fiat banks as a payment method. I couldn't get around that while still accessing euro liquidity from Australia.
Vexl has a different set of tradeoffs to Bisq, robosats, etc.
I'm actually starting to prefer the Vexl/meatspace model but I don't fully understand them all yet. I can see some incidental benefits arising.
