Milei is the first libertarian president. This succeeding could help give the libertarian ideas a boost all over the world.

Liquid is custodial. Apparently Bisq 2.0 will support it though.

Bisq supports slower transactions that take days. I heard that hold invoices are already a problem on lightning as they lock up resources allowing dos attacks.

The bisq token is on the Bitcoin chain, so it's just equally expensive to transact.

Bisq is a bit crazy expensive right now. I just paid 0.002BTC or $86 in mining fees. It only made sense as the maker was offering a very good price.

Requiring 4 on-chain transactions per trade will kill bisq quickly.

Have you ever dissolved ice cubes in tab water and checked the water afterwards? Chances are you touched the ice cubes with your hands like in this ... uhm ... sponsored content. You will find skin floating in the water.

true story 😆

how do the images break the text?

many newlines?

Yeah, psychopaths feed on gullible people that see the good intentions where there are none and this precisely works because things like this affinity scam could plausibly be the result of well intended not so smart people. For the brief observer it's indistinguishable.

If you are well educated and smart and see a potential psychopath I think it's the right thing to do to make noise and point to the issue including by calling things scams in order to protect more gullible people.

NoStrudel is awesome! I think it's the first client that lets me filter the notifications by "global" or "following". In the latter I don't see interactions from people I am not following. I wish there was one third option: "followed by following".

Hmm ... I find banks and banking scary. After losing my only bank here in Chile as a foreigner and not getting a new account opened at the time I didn't feel at all like you about the issue. It's easy to lose one of 5 bank accounts but it really sucks to depend on others to do basic things that are just not available for cash.

"Good explanation" for the GA? Robosats will delete the messages. Sure, I'll have some screenshots for them but you will still have legal costs, lose your trade amount and maybe worst of all lose your bank account as banks can do that for any or no reason at all.

Well ...

Charge-backs are not the only problem. I was seller/maker on another platform and had a guy hurry me to release the coins he just bought. I grew suspicious as it was his first trade and asked for ID. He asked me to return the funds which I did.

Weeks later our FBI equivalent I guess knocked on my door because of wire fraud. I had to explain to the general attorney what went on as she assumed I was a part of a fraud ring because funds of some victim were flowing into my account. Turns out guy's Facebook got hacked and the hacker asked all friends to do some urgent wire to my and other traders' accounts. Whenever somebody would bite, they opened trades with me and the others locking up our bitcoins with the platform.

How can I trust these offers? learn.robosats.com claims it's "safe" but their arguments are not that convincing:

I see 12 offers but no hint as to who might actually follow through. The dispute is resolved on some simplex group chat I read? That's wild! Accounts are ephemeral? I can't imagine this platform to not be full of fraud! You guys actually used this and have experience as sellers? nostr:npub1ktt8phjnkfmfrsxrgqpztdjuxk3x6psf80xyray0l3c7pyrln49qhkyhz0 ? nostr:npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku ?

Robosats won't let me past the account creation. Clicking anything gives me an error and a stacktrace in my TOR Browser. The clearnet link got stuck creating the robot. Was showing a changing robot indefinitely. Firefox that is.

My LN sats sit in Phoenix, so I'd need to get liquidity with some other wallet first, too.

All that friction is a bit frustrating.

Robosats currently fails to show me offers. Just "Something is borked! Restarting app in 30 seconds... Error: TypeError ..."

Intrigued but my LN sats sit in a Phoenix wallet which is not supported. Damn, I see I will need to setup some actual LN node soon.
