I am realizing that a taker/scammer could take an order and use the code to withdraw the money from an ATM right before providing the code to the maker. It would be difficult to prove the scam because the taker could show proof from his bank that the money was withdrawn.

It seems especially risky with orders of round figures in PLN that can be withdrawn at the ATM. nostr:npub1k3g092rlzvn7nftz3jte9pkx63zp705nh78r6hjpjm55fjg7r2cqx8stj3 Is there any way to prevent this kind of scam?

This could be discouraged with reputation mechanism but it seems that the app encourages creating a new identity for every order, which impedes establishing reputation.

As a taker I receive a notification almost instantly, when the order is created. From the moment I take the order, I have 45 s to provide the code. This is just enough time to get the code from the bank app and paste it to the offer, while switching between the apps. The maker receives the code and provides it to the merchant – verbally or by entering it to the POS device. This works basically everywhere now, also online, also in ATMs. Many brick and mortar shops have self-service checkouts.

At what point could it be improved, in your opinion?

I see. I first understood that the corrupt thing was BOLT12 instead of LND.

Pieter Wuille has spoken, so what? We know you've been bought and that the core team is corrupt.

You're creating a false narrative.

Everything worked fine until core 25; it was you who refused to fix a bug.

By the way, are you in favor of activating CTV, which is practically harmless (unlike taproot)?

This is the canary in the coal mine. Let's see if you're in favor of activating BIPS, which improved privacy. If you activate CTV, then I'm the one who's wrong.

Ask yourselves why LND is delaying the adoption of BOLT12, which is just as corrupt as core (WEF).

What's the matter with BOLT12?
