RoboSats is a P2P platform for buying and selling BTC-Lightning, designed to facilitate fast, secure, private, and decentralized exchanges. It is a free and open-source project created altruistically by nostr:nprofile1qqspuutgw44ueu3snj34vcwsdw4khngyfppq4v6f427a4tczw34329gpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtc8s5s6l as a gift to humanity, and behind every transaction is a team and a community committed to excellence:
1. The Coordinators (currently 6 active)
They enable transactions, ensure security, and mediate between parties.
They charge a small fee, part of which goes to a development fund to support future improvements.
They are solely responsible for the orders they coordinate, and users should do their research before deciding to trust them.
2. The Federation

They also stay in touch with any coordinators who wish to receive recommendations or collaborate on solutions. Both work almost entirely alone, voluntarily and without compensation, driven solely by passion and a shared vision for a project that is essential for the community and the freedom of individuals.
The magic of RoboSats, as with other free software projects, emerges when those who enjoy the platform, have their questions answered, or receive selfless help, decide to give back a bit of that value.
These gestures are what create community and ensure the sustainability and future of this project.

For now only with P2P Lightning Not, and soon with nostr:nprofile1qqs2gazhwghppw36yu0muuzqykdrcndzeafml50pnqfcy9xjx5rylssppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgmwaehxw309ahx7um5wghx7unpdenk2urfd3kzuer9wchsg3ewyk.
Mostro doesn't seems reachable on nostr, or at least the last time I checked.
Robosats is migrating its domains!
The usual clearnet and onion addresses are no longer available due to the original maintainer ( nostr:nprofile1qqspuutgw44ueu3snj34vcwsdw4khngyfppq4v6f427a4tczw34329gpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsp2zeht ) being out of contact for several months. In response, new domains have been created for both clearnet and Tor, and coordinators have agreed to make them the official ones from now on.
The following URLs are now available:
Onion (Best Option): http://robosatsy56bwqn56qyadmcxkx767hnabg4mihxlmgyt6if5gnuxvzad.onion
Clearnet Docs: https://robosats.org
Unsafe Clearnet Dex: https://unsafe.robosats.org
DNS redirection to onion: https://dex.robosats.org
It's still safe and recommended to access other coordinators' URLs, especially in situations like this. Note that Android and Desktop apps have continued to work throughout this time.
