RoboSats is a simple and private way to exchange bitcoin for national currencies. Robosats simplifies the peer-to-peer user experience and uses lightning hold invoices to minimize custody and trust requirements. The deterministically generated avatars help users stick to best privacy practices.

## How it works
|
|
|
|
Alice wants to buy satoshis privately:
|
|
1. Alice generates an avatar (AdequateAlice01) using her private random token.
|
|
2. Alice stores safely the token in case she needs to recover AdequateAlice01 in the future.
|
|
3. Alice makes a new order and locks a small hold invoice to publish it (maker bond).
|
|
4. Bob wants to sell satoshis, sees Alice's order in the book and takes it.
|
|
5. Bob scans a small hold invoice as his taker bond. The contract is final.
|
|
6. Bob posts the traded satoshis with a hold invoice. While Alice submits her payout invoice.
|
|
7. On a private chat, Bob tells Alice how to send him fiat.
|
|
8. Alice pays Bob, then they confirm the fiat has been sent and received.
|
|
9. Bob's trade hold invoice is charged and the satoshis are sent to Alice.
|
|
10. Bob and Alice's bonds return automatically, since they complied by the rules.
|
|
11. The bonds would be charged (lost) in case of unilateral cancellation or cheating (lost dispute).

## Original idea
|
|
The concept of a simple custody-minimized lightning exchange using hold invoices is heavily inspired in [P2PLNBOT](https://github.com/grunch/p2plnbot) by @grunch
