 Today we got our p2p order proposal merged and now Mostro have a new NIP on #nostr

But this NIP is not only for Mostro, it is to unify all p2p orders in a new large liquidity pool

Already implemented by nostr:nprofile1qqs0es4qhk84sqlkmk9jqxsamdn6fdhzdqm3lee484qa9dngftm6v8spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsdpzlm3 , robotsats and nostr:nprofile1qqsdhc93hklp988r3km4844fjln298nf8t7s92sar7dsqha88ph9cfspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9e3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucn89uv7r8lk who's next?

 Hi, you don't need sats to use it (unless you are going to sell sats :)
You can read how it works and how to use at: https://mostro.network/docs-english ask everything you want.

In this video there is a demo of how the web client works

 Hello, there is currently a limit of between 100 and 20k sats because have to continue testing to be sure that there will not be any failure

Read all the information here: https://mostro.network/docs-english/fees-and-limits.html 
 Hi, well, there are several differences. Mostro works completely within Nostr, orders are sent to relays and clients show them to users, then all communication between users and mostro, and between users themselves is also through Nostr events.
To use Mostro you don't have to run a mostro instance, that's something extra to decentralize the system.
You can read how it works in more details at: https://mostro.network/docs-english/ 
 📢 Attention:

📚Documentation for Mostro users is now available!

You'll learn what it is, how the Mostro flow works, and much more! 🤓

 🔜Coming soon: Order ranges from the Mostro web client https://image.nostr.build/707b1a06a53889b30f10529a999c68218df512d50ad1eb445e05cdd21b9b22da.jpg 😏
https://mostro.bilthon.dev 

Already available in the CLI client 😎
https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro-cli

Have you tried them yet? 😌What are you waiting for? 
 Hey Mostros! have you checked out https://nostr.net/ lately?😌

In the awesome list of Nostr projects and resources, head over to the Peer-to-peer section.
You'll find Mostro there! 🔥

🔸 If you want to try it locally, install the Mostro daemon: https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro

🔸 You'll need a client to interact with it. You can use mostro-cli: https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro-cli

🔸 For a more visual client, visit the web client (though it doesn't yet have all the functionalities of mostro-cli): https://mostro.bilthon.dev/ (https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro-web).

🔸 You can also find the mostro-core library there: https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro-core

Check them out! 
 Anyone use this yet? I tried didn't work for me but I'm sure I mess d something up
nostr:nevent1q... 
 Hey, when was it and what exactly happened? The web client still has several bugs that have been corrected along the way. If you found a bug, please report it so we can fix it.

It could be here or in an issue in the repository
https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro-web/issues 
 Well, you can try it again because the web client has been improving. If you are on mobile and cannot put an invoice, it is solved by using your browser in desktop mode. 
If you have any other issue just say it ;) 
 Curious about what #Mostro is and how to use it? 🤓

Mostro is a way to exchange #bitcoin in #LightningNetwork #p2p without KYC on #Nostr.

So far there are 2 Mostro clients being developed although we want to do more thanks to community collaborations. Take a look: https://github.com/MostroP2P

For now there is an exchange limit between 100 and 20,000 sats per trade.

You can try these 2 clients:

👉 Web client: https://mostro.bilthon.dev (https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro-web). Privacy lover? Generate a new identity in each exchange! ;)

👉 CLI Client:
https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro-cli
This one is focused on devs and to test the Mostro daemon, it has so far implemented more functionalities than the web client.

🔥 You can also install the Mostro daemon locally or on a VPS to have your own Mostro and then help decentralize it. All guides to do it at: https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro

If you have any questions, you can ask in our chat: https://www.nostrchat.io/channel/30d1992102c567d143a3df32ca985a16e9d8576e947e687b757848aeca5d9a7b

https://mostro.network/messages/

⚡️Here is an excellent article about Mostro: 
https://habla.news/a/naddr1qq2kuwfhvd95jst22cc5zhedw9p4yw20f9tnxq3qdgu6rp53h53l2xvcn95r7ju4vxkl7hmj2pmshvzkudzqrz84rsvsxpqqqp65wu837va

⚡️A video tutorial in Spanish by @CriptoPanas :
https://youtu.be/VHvuyAC_gAA 
 The disputes will be attended to by the operator of the Mostro where the dispute is opened (the idea is that there are many mostros and the orders can be seen in one place so that liquidity is not diluted) then when the operator of the mostro (or the solvers who designate) takes a dispute will contact those involved and explain the procedure. 

By aspiring to be decentralized with many Mostros there will not be a single way for the Mostros to resolve their disputes, each one will be able to use the resources they see fit.  

But in the operational Mostro until now there have been no disputes (few users still use it, the quantities are limited up to 20k sats and they are generally users who act in good faith doing tests) but the way to resolve them is quite similar to Bisq each user must Provide proof of payment or receipt before a certain time and the solver will determine who is right

If you have a specific proposal you can open an issue at: https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro 
 Hello, put your browser in desktop mode 
 let me know if the issue disappears :)

 Hey, we currently  plan to add it to @Start9 

Have you already tested Mostro? How did it go?😃 
 The web client is a little more outdated compared to the functionalities of the CLI client, but it works, we need more help there

You can try creating an offer and if no one accepts it, complete the process with another nsec so you can see how it works.  You can create as many identities as you want from the web client! 

If you have any questions, you can ask in our chat https://www.nostrchat.io/channel/30d1992102c567d143a3df32ca985a16e9d8576e947e687b757848aeca5d9a7b

Or in the telegram groups:
- Support: https://t.me/MostroP2P
- Mostro Devs: https://t.me/mostro_dev 
 Well, the idea is to make it easier and easier and reach more users so that it is as decentralized as possible, although it does not depend only on us  
 Released a patch for Python, Kotlin and Swift `nostr-sdk` packages that not allow usage of relays... 
 Tanks to you 🤜🤛 
 Did you know you can now buy or sell Sats with any fiat currency on #Nostr ?

#Mostro lets you do it! P2P #Bitcoin exchange without KYC, and using the #LightningNetwork. Fully foss. It's unstoppable! 

⚡️We want to make #P2P Bitcoin trading even easier and more accessible for everyone, so we're planning to release more Mostro clients.

Currently, we have two clients running: a web client (mostro.bilthon.dev) and Mostro-cli (https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro-cli).

📲 Next up is a mobile client! If you'd like to help with its development, we've created a Reward Board with Sats for those who solve issues

👀 Take a look: https://github.com/orgs/MostroP2P/projects/2

We must clarify that Mostro isn't a company but an open source project
🙏The amounts offered are a way to thank for collaboration and are thanks to the generous donation of contributors, mostly anonymous, but also to important institutions that have given us grants such as HRF 
 Thanks! Test it and tell me what you think 😃 
 Thank you! Mostro is in full development, of course it will improve with the collaboration of our community.
Now what we need most are people who lend a hand, contributing ideas like yours, testing clients, finding errors, developing
You are welcome to continue supporting 😃
