I have been asking for a combined #p2p order book since the Baltic Honeybadger '23.

I even tried and failed to build it myself. There was also Bushido... but it disappeared.

Congrats to Koala on getting it done!

This post is from another user.

My reasons:

- On Robosats, everyone who places or accepts an order is serious: both parties put down a deposit before starting.

- In this group, your messages aren't deleted for talking about scams. In lnp2pbot, for example, they are. They delete your message and the admin talks to you privately, so that no one else sees that there are scams.

- The Robosats coordinators are much more reliable than those at lnp2pbot. They are more empathetic and open to understanding situations. Those at lnp2pbot only want hard evidence, and if you can't prove a scam 100%, the scammer continues to operate even though it's obvious that they are a scammer.

Interestingly, lnp2pbot has a reputation system, but when it comes to resolving a dispute, that is irrelevant to them.

- Robosats coordinators are open to modifying the commissions for the channels you open with them. Negrunch, the lnp2pbot admin, not only sets a commission of 500 ppm on a channel he did not open, but also refuses to change it.

- Robosats is the platform that charges the lowest commissions:

2% peach

0.6% lnp2pbot

0.6% mostro

0.45% hodlhodl (with referral)

0.2% robosats

- Robosats is the only platform I know of where the scammer loses out if they get caught. This doesn't happen on hodlhodl, lnp2pbot, or any other platform, as none of them work with a deposit prior to communication. On all platforms, there are constant unsuccessful attempts to scam, as there is no cost involved.

- Robosats is the only platform with internal competition and incentives for its coordinators to do their best.

For all these reasons, I consider Robosats to be the best and safest platform for exchanging Bitcoin for money.

Holy 💩

In the last period I thought about how I can introduce friends, shopkeepers and small businesses to Bitcoin. Even when someone shows some curiosity, explaining Bitcoin can be a really difficult job; it has a lot of concepts and several facets, and since everyone has priorities and thoughts on certain topics, if you touch the wrong ones, you risk annoying and losing them quickly. In addition, spending time with someone that is not already sufficiently "hot" about the topic can be a waste of time and, worse, generate a repulsive effect.

So I designed a small brochure that is a really quick introduction to Bitcoin, with the goal to activate people and trigger some reaction and/or curiosity. The plan is simple: I ask if they know about Bitcoin, leave the brochure, and wait for an immediate reaction, or I have the option of following up next time and asking for feedback; so I can get some ideas on what topics to bring up to keep the conversation going.

As you can see, I chose to give the "debunking FUD" section a primary visibility (is the first thing you see when you open the foldable), since people often learn about Bitcoin via negative and alarming news, so they are good points to activate a first doubt. Then there is a synthetic explanation of Bitcoin's money nature, why it is radically different from fiat currencies, and what impact it may have at a social and business level.

On the back there is a section that points to a website where the user can learn more. Currently I'm using bitcoin.rocks, but I will evaluate other resources or I can also build something new, maybe with some specific information for businesses, that are critical for adoption.

The idea is to release it open source, so anyone can personalize it (e.g. the learn more target), and maybe produce versions in different languages.

The dimensions are 42x15cm open, 10.5x15cm closed, foldable in 3 points; so with a standard A3 print you can get two brochures.

Does that make sense? How can I improve it?

Could you work with Cashu instead?

It impacts the stock Pixel OS too.

As with regular recalibration of the charge limit, you need to allow it to charge for a while at 100% until it determines the new 100% capacity and begins enforcing the limit again. Meant to be every ~2 weeks.

I am optmistic about real privacy in modern times and publish quite effort on the topic, so that others can have verifiable privacy too.

On the other hand my dear counterpart, you have quite a few suspicious hardware decisions on your belt and already got exposed endorsing government developed tools like Tor.

There isn't a particular reason for me to call out the obvious attack vectors of using compromised hardware.

Should not have to install all of these for a mobile app.

Robosats already has six coordinators.

Its growth is incredible.
