34 sats \ 4 replies \ @BTCLNAT 17 Oct \ on: Keep your bitcoin transactions private - using Robosats for P2P exchanges bitcoin_beginners
All P2P systems are the best option to get SATs without KYC. The big problem is that those who participate, fundamentally in this type of market are Bitcoiners, who are using this option to get SATs, but if we all want to get SATs and nobody wants to sell their SATs, then the problem begins.
It is likely that at some point, someone will have to give up their SATs and exchange it for shitty fiat, because we are not yet in Bitcoin standard, but it is not the most frequent. The biggest sales options are seen during the rise, but it is not an avalanche, because when you understand Bitcoin, you do not want to lose it.
Regarding Robosat specifically, I have the application but as soon as I open it, it tries to connect to Tor. Where I live the connection is very slow, so we use other VPN options, is there any configuration to remove the option to connect to Tor?
Just to clarify - is it true that the internet is very slow there, and so Tor (being slower) is unusable? Or is it something else?
reply
The Internet is not that slow, it is that it is SUPER-ULTRA-SLOW. It is a total disgrace. I have been trying to use I2P, as a secure browser to use Robosats, but the configuration that is given does not recognize it, the version of I2P is 2.52, because I cannot get 2.7 in the Google Play store, my location is restricted. I will have to activate a VPN and download it later.
For us here, lnp2pbot works very well on Telegram and Mostro on Nostr.

If you're using android, could you just run the apk for I2P?

No, I'm not aware of any options like that for the app.
It's strongly not recommended, but I guess you could do it via the desktop (or a regular browser on your phone), and just access robosats.com without tor. Here's the message that pops up when you do that:
"You are not using RoboSats privately
To fully enable RoboSats and protect your data and privacy, use Tor Browser and visit the federation hosted Onion site or host your own app."
You'd really need to know what you're doing, in order to do this safely and privately. Use your own judgement, but be cautious.
