I created a Reputation System to classify BUY orders on my host and increase security for sellers. Some sellers have had issues with scammers who reverse their transfers after the transaction. The money goes back to the scammer, leaving the seller without funds and without their Sats. Unfortunately, this problem can happen on any P2P platform, and the best solution I found was to classify open BUY orders. Here’s how it works: After choosing a BUY order, access one of the links below to check the reputation of the buyer (Beginner, Intermediate, or Experienced). This reputation is based on the history on my host and helps to enhance security in transactions, but it does not guarantee total security. Orders marked as Experienced are from robots with more successful orders than those of Intermediate and Beginner. Use this classification to decide whether to take the order or not. Tip: If your BUY order is classified as Beginner, consider acting a bit more as a taker to improve your reputation. The seller (maker) needs to know how to protect themselves from this type of scam, as anyone can take their order. https://dex.thebiglake.org/reputation http://4t4jxmivv6uqej6xzx2jx3fxh75gtt65v3szjoqmc4ugdlhipzdat6yd.onion/reputation Why don’t I classify SELL orders? Scammers would love to know who all the Beginners are. Hope this helps! 😉

Most Used Lightning Wallets in Coordinator TheBigLake I would like to share the ranking of the most used Lightning wallets in my Coordinator. This list is based on the invoices my node has received to make payments over the last 30 days, from June 9th to July 9th, 2025, and can serve as a guide for those choosing a wallet. Here are the wallets and the number of payments in relation to the total over the last 30 days: * WoS - 42.0% * Phoenix - 10.8% * Aqua - 7.3% * Blink - 2.6% * Zeus - 2.1% * Boltz - 1.9% * Strike - 1.2% * Breez - 1.1% * Others - 31.1% It's important to remember that having a second wallet as a backup, with available balance for emergencies, is a recommended practice. The Lightning network can, in some situations, temporarily lock the balance of a payment attempt, which can cause issues if the order expires. Therefore, being prepared with an additional wallet can help avoid setbacks. I hope this information helps new users in choosing a wallet. Please note that this list does not indicate the best wallets, but rather provides statistical information for a specific period.

If you are afraid of trading on RoboSats, take a look at this. An interesting analysis of how orders end up on my coordinator. Data extracted from the last 90 days (Beginning on 2025-01-23 and ending on 2025-04-23) 2816 Successful orders without dispute 34 Successful orders in dispute 61 Orders punished in dispute 19 Collaborative cancellations in dispute 163 Collaborative cancellations without dispute Orders with takers (processed): 2816 + 34 + 61 + 19 + 163 = 3093 Disputed: (34 + 61 + 19) / 3093 = 3.7% Successful in dispute: 34 / 3093 = 1.1% Punished in dispute: 61 / 3093 = 2.0% Collaborative cancellations in dispute: 19 / 3093 = 0.6% Collaborative cancellations without dispute 163 / 3093 = 5.3% Successful: (2816 + 34) / 3093 = 92.1% So if you are with a peer in a trade on RoboSats, know that the probability of everything ending well is approximately 92.1%. I consider this a very good success rate. 😀 If you consider that collaborative cancellations without dispute are not a problem, the chance of a successful trade or a collaborative cancellation without dispute is 97.4%.

The new version of RoboSats (v0.6.0) is online! The RoboSats Federation allows multiple and independent coordinators to host the orders, improving robustness and decentralizing the app.
