The RoboSats Experimental coordinator entered an scheduled maintainance yesterday just as planned 👷‍♂️
The stop will take about 1 week.
You know what's cool though? We recently pre-released our decentralized (multi-coordinator) client, so you can still use RoboSats. This might be a great chance to run some trade of small size in the new coordinators. You can simply open dex.robosats.com in Tor Browser :)

⚡ Did you already try the decentralized RoboSats app? It allows you to connect with any RoboSats coordinator from your browser over Tor (and from your Umbrel / StartOS nodes soon!)
We are hosting the client app for you to try it in: robodexarjwtfryec556cjdz3dfa7u47saek6lkftnkgshvgg2kcumqd.onion
You can also use the shortcut https://dex.robosats.com in Tor Browser.

🤖 RoboSats v0.5.3 is out! 🚀
🟠 The main change on this version is the much improved F2F feature by @KoalaSat .
The app now allows robots to add a location for face-to-face cash trades. The book page will display a map with all F2F orders.
To best protect robots privacy, the exact location of the order is slightly randomized (just in case someone is reckless enough to pin their own house!). The location is randomized in a radius of ~15 Km. This means it's not possible to be precise, and the exact location for the f2f trade can only be shared on the encrypted chat. Note that enabling high-resolution maps can leak your IP to external tiling servers if you are not using Tor Browser.
Of course, adding a geolocation tag to your order is only useful for face-to-face cash payment method. You can completely disregard this feature if you do not want to use this payment method.
If you like the amazing work KoalaSat put into this feature you can let him know by zapping some Sats to @npub1v3t…yvjh 🔥🚀

Ah, seems I (social media volunteer) was a bit too optimistic with the current progress 😅😅, see an answer from a dev: It's working at a low capacity at the moment, and will keep runing this way for a little time. The LND node of RoboSats behaves very unstable. It will take over a week until we can fully replace the node and be back at 100%.

Yes! Good progress on whipping LND back into working order 😁 will be posting an update (which is just a summarization of what the devs have updated us with in the Simplex/matrix/telegram groups)

RoboSats Lightning Node is having issues connecting to peers since yesterday EOD. We are tracking the issue here:
https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues/7917
Apologies for the inconvenience, robo-folks
Thank you Lightning Labs for the prompt help!

You can definitely notify us over Nostr, but there might be a faster response in the RoboSats Simplex group chat: https://learn.robosats.com/contribute/code/#communication-channels

#[2] 👀👀👀 check out these great guides! If you've been hesitant about taking a dip in the P2P waters, there is no time like the present! 🤖🔥
Tutorials are awesome; they help to give you an idea of the order flow before having to dive in head first!

Simplex is kind of weird. I'm still figuring out how it works myself 😅 my understanding is that the group host device must be online to allow new users to join the group. So it could've been that there was a bad timing that the device was off line for a moment when you tried to connect. By now, it *should* be connected.
Not to mention, sometimes a message is not visible to another user, which I guess is an issue due to large group sizes (you'll notice it takes a while to send a message in the RoboSats group). But its private 😁 you can use an anonymous identity to chat in the RoboSats group

Hey! Sorry for delayed response. It could have been down, sometimes the LND freezes up and needs restarting of the experimental coordinator node. Anyways, its probably since been fixed of course! Sorry about that delayed response

If you have experience using an LN wallet with RoboSats, we would greatly appreciate your help updating the RoboSats compatible wallets doc! https://learn.robosats.com/docs/wallets/
Not every LN wallet is tested ... and some info is outdated. Help by opening a GitHub PR editing the doc! 🤖⚡

At some point when you send to cold storage (on chain) from buying sats on RoboSats (Lightning), you will have to swap out and incur on chain fee (and whatever swap service you use).
Using only cellphone, a good setup would be the RoboSats app, Blixt wallet for Lightning, and then using RoboSats to swap out at low fees or use another swap service provider with low fees like swap.diamond hands.technology to send your funds to cold storage. There are other wallets that users have reported success with, like Phoenix wallet and OBW to name a couple

Hmm tough question... 😁 biases aside though, there are plenty of alternative options besides RoboSats. Like Bisq, Hodlhodl, Peach, Agora Desk, LNP2P bot...
Find one that suits your needs!

When someone explains why they have yet to use a P2P exchange to stack sats privately 😁:

If you do not see an existing order in your local currency, make one! There can only be demand if people make orders!
But yea sometimes for certain currencies there is low liquidity. The only remedy is to tell others in your locale to take their money/liquidity to RoboSats instead of a typical exchange. (You can entice them by saying sellers get extra bang for their sats by selling on P2P exchanges with premiums!!)

Oh, nothing too special. Just a private way to stack sats peer to peer 🤖⚡
If tutorials are your thing, check out this guide https://bitcoiner.guide/robosats

Perhaps a little bit of all that contributes to higher premiums on gift cards!
Physical gift card code exchange is probably the most private method, but similarly its so private that its hard to defend yourself in a dispute because there's no definitive way to prove you gave your peer an authentic gift card code that hasn't been used already. Thus why e-gift card with burner email is recommended since you get email receipt proving your peer received the gift card code (but obviously not as private and people still use physical gift card code all the time without issue)
If more people used RoboSats as a sort of P2P bitrefill.. Then a circular economy of sorts could take hold where buyers stacking sats provide sellers with gift cards they can use for their daily living purposes. Rinse and repeat 🙂
