You guys done it right, I have to say. Personally, I am still on Localbitcoins, just only because I find it a bit easier to deal with people I already trust, but the fact that you still have to trust LBC's servers not to die on you, is a huge advantage you guys will always have. Some day, if your platform doesn't actually require us to be online all the time (I just don't like the idea of leaving it open while I sleep), you might find more people like me making the migration.
But for now, this is decentralised P2P at its best. I like.
Hi!
Actually Bisq does not require you to always be online. You can connect, take an offer and then turn off your computer and come back later. You only need to stay online if you want your available offers to be visible (ie: you are a market maker).
Thankfully this will soon also be easier thanks to the new API which will alllow mobile apps to connect remotely to your Bisq node. That way you can leave a small computer with Bisq running and get notifications or place orders from your mobile app.
If you frequently trade on Localbitcoins... I highly encourage you to try Bisq on
September 20th as part of the kick-start. It's only one day and you have little to lose.
