joinmarket-clientserver VS bisq

It's complicated. The more steps you take to obfuscate your transaction, the harder it will be for an adversary to track your coins. You can look into using something like the JoinMarket Wallet to keep your transaction more private.

You can use coinjoin services like joinmarket to anonymize your coins. You can also send them through a lightning swap.

This is a bitcoin service delivered in a low trust manner where the bitcoin user need only utilize software they run and control for the services and can protect themselves from malicious third parties with very little trust or consequence from peers. This is the gold standard of Bitcoin service. Examples include lightning routing, lightning liquidity marketplaces like pool, coinjoins like joinmarket, coinswaps, submarine swaps like loop and others.

If you want to play with OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY, you can use the wallet in JoinMarket to create a fidelity bond. Be careful, though, because it's absolutely impossible to spend such a bond until its expiration.

I opened a GitHub issue - https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver/issues/1349.

So is this basiclly a fully peer-to-peer application, like bittorrent clients?

Or something like bisq (https://bisq.network) when the program runs locally peer to peer and hosts all user data locally, but still pings oracle servers for outside market price data?

We are on r/bisq and bisq.network.

https://bisq.network/ doesn't required ID verification and the fiat payment goes directly to the seller instead of the exchange, so it's less likely to get blocked by banks.

Bisq (https://bisq.network/) and Robosats (robosats.com) are non-kyc exchanges that have various forms of payments available.
