sorry for the late reply but yes, in a decentralised exchange you are revealing your info to an other peer, rather than to a centralised exchange (or subphoneable entity), that makes a huge difference

small detail, centralised exchanges know how much monero went through them. for that particular account. If you KYC'd there, they know how much monero YOU bought or sold on their platform

by the way, check out my blogpost on that topic https://blog.nowhere.moe/opsec/chainalysisattempts/index.html, with my opsec recommendations

very nice, keep up the good work guys

haveno is in early stages anyway, but yea the more noob friendly it becomes, the better. Something is """hard""" to install when you do not explain how to install it properly.

Currently there's a way to install it on every OS, that's good enough for now. Also keep in mind that there aren't 20 dedicated developers working on haveno fulltime, you can't have everything at once with a small team of developers

there's clear potential, for monero adoption, to target small businesses that attend to basic needs like nutrition, transport, and shelters, to accept monero to be frank. Farmers, Bakeries, Cabs are all potentially monero adopters imho

lesson to remember: don't pay developers up-front, place bounties, and pay them only once they finish their work

how is it no longer plausible ? pls let me know who managed to prove the existance of a hidden volume and how, as up until now i didnt find anyone that managed to. If there is no proof that the hidden volume exists, you can keep claiming that there is no hidden volume.

yea as mentionned, there are a ton of difficult possible arbitration scenarios, i think there is a clear need to :

1. list the payment options (like bisq did on this page here https://bisq.wiki/Payment_methods)
2. detail each payment option with the correct trade protocol (which includes the precautions to PROVE that you conducted the trade correctly for the arbitrators (see localmonero's tips on cash by mail for example https://localmonero.co/cash-by-mail-tips )), the risks of the trade going wrong, and what to do in each case.

I opened up https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/issues/944 just now for the same

to that i would reply, that the arbitrators better be honest and behave correctly because the reputation of their network (ex:reto) is at stake, and yea definitely could be a good idea to have an external rating service, so that over time the scammy haveno networks are called out, and people avoid them

It's on my todolist yes, i'll try to showcase a dispute with abitrator resolution, a SEPA instant transaction, and also the popular cash in mail
