Just wondering, is somethink like RoboSats possible in Monero (Robonero?). The source code is open source (https://github.com/RoboSats/robosats/blob/main/federation.md) so it should be possible to make Monero compatible, just like Bisq was made compatible through Haveno.
I never used LocalMonero because it seemed a bit intimidating, but RoboSats seems friendlier and the Tor by default and per trade anonymous robot feature seems more privacy preserving than LocalMonero. It also has a Telegraph plugin. Liquidity would be an issue, but there’s no reason it has to rebuild the wheel. Simply provide a Haveno or BasicSwapDEX or Serai backend and expose their liquidity. Eventually, the Monero to Lightning code that was recently published could be integrated, so in theory the Bisq network could also be integrated for trades.
There’s been little incentive to port Robosats to Monero until now, but since LocalMonero is going, and BasicSwapDEX has stated they want a website front end, this is a good opportunity to use a technology that’s already open sourced, distributed, and been proven to work. And since its starting off after Haveno/BasicSwapDEX/Serai it can rely on the existing ecosystem rather than build its own from scratch.
A bounty may be appropriate for this to get someone interested to put in the time and effort.
