We are in the process of updating notary nodes and during this process basilisk will not be 100% reliable.

For maximum reliability, use native komodod. And just saw some new releases go into the release pipeline that should improve Agama reliability in general.

Sure, I was just confused, because of that reliability post.
Is that just abaut the 5% interest that could be lost in basilisk?

there isnt a way to do atomic swaps without downloading a full node?
not practically.
literally hundreds of remote RPC calls would be needed. For basilisk mode it is much fewer and still there are problems. At least with basilisk connection problems, the end result is that nothing happens.

with barterDEX, if you get a connection error, you will likely lose the funds for your trade. So the consequence for a connection problem is much greater and there are a lot more requests needed.

So, while it would be possible to do, I decide against it. Just not safe. Now, if we can get some SPV wallets with a more complete set of RPC, then it would be possible. However, even bitcoin doesnt have that many SPV wallets and I havent found one with enough of the RPC (equivalent)

If somebody knows of such a SPV wallet, please let me know

And also that quote "with barterDEX, if you get a connection error, you will likely lose the funds for your trade".
I did not understand that. Why would one loose their funds if a connection problem occures? Right before the trade process starts the traders adress could be send to the network and only if the network send back "ok" to the trader than the trade process could be started and even in the event that the trader has any kind of connection problem before the trading process finishes, it could be done in the network and after he is back online, he could get his coins on his adresses.
