Should have asked your Mom what to do.

Nobody outside of Turkey cares about the Lira anymore, let another fiat currency in demise

The last time it impacted the broader market was 2018.

My understanding is the roadmap is not set in stone and if a dev joins who wants to work on XMR atomic swaps then it will get implemented sooner.

As it stands the current devs involved in the project don't have much familiarity with XMR Atomic Swaps, hence it appears last on the roadmap.

Cash by Mail is the number one fiat payment method on Haveno, which I have to admit is pretty darn based.

I am a little suss on the Haveno trade stats CSV, as it only had 3k rows. It's possible they delete the historical trade data beyond that. Does anyone know if this is the case? The earliest trade I have is 8th Nov '24.

If I compare Haveno volume vs Bisq from 19th of Nov, Bis is roughly 11x the number of trades and 20x the BTC denominated Volume. There should be room for both protocols to grow in volume. We just need more Sovereign Individuals to stop using CEXs.

https://retoswap.com/ is a Monero based fork of nostr:npub1sqn6rpml88nq8khuvvneuqztfmvalpsarr8grkwy837hzdw63ajs6t5net. I was able to modify my python script an generate trade stats for Haveno-Reto.

*Haveno uses XMR as the native currency so I just hacked the numbers back into BTC by dividing the XMR Amounts by 400 (the approx BTCXMR rate).*

As compared with the preceeding 6 months, total BTC volume is down 13% and number of trades is down 4%.

Altcoin BTC volume is down 5% and number of trades is up 4%.

This increase in altcoin number of trades, is likely due to more XMR delistings in the last 6 months. Bisq is one of the best places to exchange larger sums of XMR for BTC and vice versa.

Fiat BTC volume is down 29% and number of trades is down 7%.

These stats don't include Bisq 2, which one can expect has eaten into some Bisq 1 volumes.

Also as BTC price goes up and people typically trade fiat denominated amounts, the BTC denominated volume tends to go down.

Let's not kid ourselves, Lyn and Mark are definitely reporting this.

Could you grab the trade statistics CSV for HavenoRetoSwap? I'd love to see similar stats.

Also comparing volume is not the only metric. Transacting fiat is fucked so avg trade size in fiat is much lower than for XMR/BTC.

Note that while the volume for XMR is 2.25x, the number of trades in fiat is 3.6x.

The avg trade size for XMR/BTC is 11m sats, while BTC/Fiat avg trade size is 1.37m sats.

Yes. I can check back on a longer history but this has been this way for a long time that XMR volume >> fiat volume.

Do you have similar stats for Haveno? I used the market trade stats CSV.
