Seems that while we were on the latest Chinese plandemic wave vacation, more INR traders have become savy to use Bisq:

Re: Use centralized exchanges, don't use P2P, my recommendation
by

And it's easy to prove that the red-herring of P2P dangers is falsely being used by those centralized exchange owners to shill their business and FUD the ignorant to their exchanges:
if one simply meets the counterparty and does the same P2P deals F2F using paper fiat in the waiting room of a bank or fiat payment processor, this whole P2P FUD boogyman disappears. 

Clearly you're not from India and you don't know how things go here.
But I can assure you that these are not FUDs and the thread I made was just for people to post their suggestions on how to go about trading P2P safely.
I don't want to get into argument with you because you don't live here. Come here if you can and start trading P2P using banks online and F2F too if you dare and see what happens.
Good luck with your client and I hope more people start using it in India. But you really have to ask yourself why people are not doing it?
Like I said, you have to find a way to make it more safe, so that the person trading using it don't get into trouble later.
Clearly you have not traded very much, including in India, which might be why you want to project your fears to others. It's easier to be scared, if others can be convinced to be scared with you.

 Neither have you walked in our shoes.
Our associates have traded P2P for years, in the surrounding Asian regions, some of which are real authoritarian and totalitarian regimes, such as Vietnam and Russia, where one can get a lengthy prison sentence simply by paying someone with bitcoins.

You have to ask yourself why so many people are using P2P exchanges, such as Bisq, in US, all over Europe, in Brazil, including using bank transfers?
https://bisq.network/markets/?currency=btc_usd
https://bisq.network/markets/?currency=btc_eur
https://bisq.network/markets/?currency=btc_brl

Supposedly, Indian unified electronic payment systems are the most advanced in the world. If they can't be used safely to trade P2P in India, maybe it's the Indian payment systems that need to be made "more safe", rather than P2P exchanges?

If you require absolute safety, centralized exchanges will not save you, as any user of a hacked centralized exchange can testify.
If you require some nanny centralized authority to assume all the risks for you, we suggest that you should stick to fiat and related regulated trade "for your safety", rather than FUD others to be scared with you.

Bitcoin was made to be traded P2P.

Re: LocalCryptos: An alternative to Paxful & Localbitcoins

1. No KYC required to use the platform.
2. Non-custodial. You have control over your funds (you can export the private keys).
3. Better UI/UX.
4. Support in-person (cash) transactions (unlike LBC).
1. LocalBitcoins also started without KYC, until they built up liquidity and user database to turn over to governments upon request. Has LocalCryptos promised anywhere in writing that they will close rather than ever do that, considering they are under Australian laws, which are some of the most draconian crypto laws in the developed world?

2. It's really not non-custodial, because one has to send funds into the LC wallet to trade. How does giving the user the private key mitigate LC being hacked and the hackers also getting everyone's private keys there?
(By contrast with HodlHodl, HH is really non-custodial, because the user send funds directly into the active trade's escrow.)

3. LC UI/UX is excellent! Maybe the best we've seen so far!
4. Their F2F option is also excellent.

Overall though, we still recommend HodlHodl and Bisq instead of LocalCryptos, because of points #1 and #2.

The OP argument against P2P is a red-herring fallacy, because the issue he warns against is the danger of certain fiat payment types, which he falsely presents as danger of P2P exchanges.
Actually no. This issue is about P2P exchanges and not about fiat payments.
...
Actually, your post above is also entirely about certain types of fiat payments, and your discussion in the other thread derailed almost entirely into specifically bank (fiat) transfer payments, and the FUD surrounding them.
(This was really the most sensible post in that discussion.)

We don't make any extra money if more users come to P2P exchanges we recommend, but centralized exchange owners DO make A LOT more money if they can FUD newbies to their exchanges.

And it's easy to prove that the red-herring of P2P dangers is falsely being used by those centralized exchange owners to shill their business and FUD the ignorant to their exchanges:
if one simply meets the counterparty and does the same P2P deals F2F using paper fiat in the waiting room of a bank or fiat payment processor, this whole P2P FUD boogyman disappears.

As far as I know the platform is still quite the same(correct me if I'm wrong), besides the AML/KYC requirement which is a big turnoff in my book. While users are a lot lower, I'd suggest using similar platforms that doesn't require AML/KYC instead:
https://hodlhodl.com/
https://localcryptos.com/
https://bisq.network/
We agree. It's time for all p2p traders to move to non-custodial exchanges, such as HodlHodl, unless they are the property of "The Land of the Free". (Last I checked, HH still doesn't want Americans for p2p trading.)
For Americans, Bisq works, except for the impatient and smartphone-bound.

LocalBitcoins has become just another custodial bank exchange. Once you deposit your btc there, within 3 confs they move it to their wallets, and all you have is an IOU in their database. Any still using it, prove this to yourselves in any BTC blockchain explorer.
Shame on LBC for becoming what they have become, relative to the way they started.

Avoid LocalBitcoins, if you are a mentally competent adult and believe that your p2p trading is your business only.

I mostly use platforms like WazirX and CoinSwitch. That suits me fine.
Well, you're a good man! "A good man always knows his limitations."
Make sure you only trade on KYC exchanges, so that your government can track all your crypto "for future reference"...

For those who are more independent, and ready to actually live the P2P nature of Bitcoin, we recommend Bisq.network and HodlHodl.

Re: Use centralized exchanges, don't use P2P, my recommendation

First, localbitcoins and paxful ARE centralized exchanges, with KYC. So, before posting such FUD, the OP should get the basic terms right.

It's true that Paxful has been a premier site where scammers hang out since it began, and LocalBitcoins can't catch all the scammers either.
We don't recommend those, because there are much better alternatives, such as for example HodlHodl.com.

The OP argument against P2P is a red-herring fallacy, because the issue he warns against is the danger of certain fiat payment types, which he falsely presents as danger of P2P exchanges.

I think all who can reason above the childish level can see the difference, but if you can't, definitely follow the OP FUD advice.

For the record, the only existing true P2P, non-custodial, truly decentralised BTC-fiat exchange is the Bisq.network, which we recommend.

Unfortunately, only 2 of the OP's "Indian brothers and sister" have even tried Bisq since it began in 2016, and 100% certain the OP wasn't 1 of the 2.
