Different use cases, mainly.
Need to buy a few dollars of bitcoin, robosats is the best (only?) choice.
Want to stack a few thousand $ worth monthly, not using Bisq would be silly.
those you see are a reflection of the value that offer makers attach to bitcoin, they are not fees but rather premiums
Bisq1 is still perfectly functional, Bisq2 only uses Bisq Easy which is a different trade protocol, only in the future it will get a port of the multisig protocol.
Scammers are not tracked, rather it's user reporting having sent money to a seller with 0 reputation and never having heard from him again.
Bisq2 is currently aimed at nocoiners only, Bisq1 is where the liquidity is at
It is the name I give to the original Bisq, in contrast to Bisq2 is which is the new application that will one day inherit the multisig trading protocol.
There is confusion around about Bisq1<>2, as people think Bisq2 is a newer replacement to Bisq(1), which isn't the case for now, as they use two different protocols.
Currently:
- Bisq1: larger traders, lower premium, BTC required for deposit
- Bisq2: smaller traders, higher premium, no BTC required for deposit, used to get first BTC to trade on Bisq1
The XMR market is the most liquid, tried and tested, on Bisq1
atomic swaps are available on Bisq1 only for BSQ trades, while XMR trades follow the normal multisig trading protocol based on the security deposit: both traders lock the deposit, seller also locks the BTC trade amount, the BTC buyer sends XMR, and when that is confirmed, either manually, or for instant trades, automatically via federated XMR explorer nodes, the BTC is released to the buyer, and the deposits to their respective owners.
I think this link says yes but I honestly know nothing about the question other than finding this just now - https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno-meta/issues/14
As I remembered. 2-of-3 was an old protocol for Bisq, discontinued as it gave way to risky scams in case the 3rd signer colluded with a dishonest trader.
I was going to post an elaborate reply, before reading the GTFO at the end.
GM/GN or whatever they say in your parts.
The only gift card that Bisq1 supports is Amazon egift cards. But you could create a custom payment method on Bisq2 and see if any sellers are interested. You will need to offer a large premium for gift cards I presume.
heh came late to the party, but I just added a ln address 🤗
does Haveno use the 2-of-3 multisig trading model?
Bisq does not have trust issues nor security issues, the multisig trading protocol is non-custodial and pretty strong. Buyers in particular are extremely protected, it could be argued that sellers are more exposed to triangle scam risk.
But then again, any CEX could just hold your funds for whatever reason.
Other than that, there is no upper limit to the amount you can buy on Bisq, single trades may be capped to some thousands of fiat tokens but there is no limit to the number of trades you can start simultaneously, the only limit is the throughput of your fiat institution.
Nothing will happen automatically.
A button to "open mediation" will appear though, which the buyer can press, so a dispute is started after which most likely the mediator will suggest that the btc seller pays a penalty to the buyer, for late release.
There is an edge case, where the buyer sent for example a sepa payment very close to the trade period end, at which point the seller is entitled to at least a few days of delay to get outside of the chargeback window.
In that case the seller cannot be penalized for a "late release", as the liability is with the buyer not having sent fiat asap.
I would argue that a buyer sending a sepa payment very close to the trading period end, that arrives past that limit, or just barely within in, could be penalized for late payment.
that is smart alright, and there is no custodial business involved either, except the minimum required time the coins are on an exchange, so win-win.
You are right then, I did not understand, nor I am sure I do now though.
Do you mean that by selling and immediately buying again, you reset the capital gain so that, when you sell it again in the future, it will be calculated on the second purchase price, hence taxation will be on a lower amount?
