+5 Privacy0 Trust - Uses hodl invoices 0 +5
A hodl invoice on the Lightning Network temporarily holds your payment, similar to escrow. The receiver doesn’t get the funds immediately; instead, the payment is locked until specific conditions are met. Once those conditions are fulfilled, the receiver releases the funds by supplying a cryptographic key. This method is useful for secure transactions or deposits.

Es el mejor P2P que he utilizado, llevo usándolo ya 3 años consecutivos. Y la verdad, para mi ha sido una herramienta bastante valiosa tanto para comprar, como para vender.
I've been using this service since 2021 and it is the best, why this is having this low score? Robosats is a copycat of this project so why @lnp2pBot is not "Mature service", "Escrow available" and "Verify"?
I have used lnp2pbot extensively, to exchange BTC for VES (Venezuelan Bolivares), never without any significant problem to the platform as such. I have never encountered any scammers and when I have had technical problems, they have a great support community in a Telegram group.
Added context: The Telegram group can be accessed via their own website by using the "chat" tab.
El mejor P2P que he utilizado hasta el momento, cumple bastante en cuanto a estándares de: Seguridad, privacidad, eficiencia y autonomĂa financiera teniendo en cuenta tambiĂ©n que es sin custodia. 3 años utilizándolo. Sin duda una excelente herramienta.
