36 sats \ 5 replies \ @LibertasBR 18 Mar \ on: Currencies Used On Robosats bitcoin
This allows us to see how people in each country are adopting Bitcoin via P2P. Although it is not an exact number, many will end up using dollars for purchases. Is it possible to know the amount of money that is being transferred?

I don't think so, by design. You can see the fiat amount of buy and sell offers, but you have no way of knowing if the transaction took place or expired.

Expired we can check by snapshot. I have some draft code for that but like we discussed before, i don't wanna publish chainalysis for robosats just yet so I'm taking it super slow, getting a feeling for what's what.
We can't tell if it were cancelled though.

Great! I really like your project. I wish there was more trading volume. As it grows your data will become more and more valuable.

Yes. The spreads are very wide right now because order volume is low. I am trying to introduce local people here (I'm very much outside of the major political blocs right now, you know, the kind of country that gets rekt with USD debt) that are currently depending on USDT to be banked to at least not save in USDT and do some trades over robosats to securely hedge some of their longer-term fiat holdings - but even though thats a relative easy pitch conceptually, it is becoming kind of a hard sell when people have no concept of lightning.

That sounds like a worthwhile plan.
