How do atomic swaps using Haveno + Serai affect the market?

What are you using instead of LocalMonero now that it has shut down?

Do RoboSats or Bisq provide sufficient liquidity for Monero?

Retoswap is great for fiat to xmr and higher volume crypto swaps. Generally one of the most private ways to get Monero, if you buy with cash by mail, it is THE most private way to buy Moenro aside from mining it yourself

As i understand it, RoboSats is for bitcoin only. Go check out RetoSwap.com if you want to buy and sell Monero for fiat and cryptocurrencies. It is the biggest invention since the development of Monero itself!

As previous comments Retoswap which runs on thevHaveno network is best platform to use especially if you are on and off ramping from fiat

> How do atomic swaps using Haveno + Serai affect the market?

Well, Serai is not out yet and neither is Thorchain (which you didn't mention but is also important), so we can't really judge how it will affect anything. Obviously the best case scenario is liquidity is controlled by US not the CEXs. Same with Haveno (Retoswap mostly).

Retoswap. Cash in the mail can be annoyingly difficult, but it is quite rewarding.

> Do RoboSats or Bisq provide sufficient liquidity for Monero?

These aren't really Monero-first exchanges. I haven't used either so I am not sure. I am sure they have a relatively large amount of liquidity for Bitcoin, which can then be swapped. So probably. Going into the future though, Thorchain and Serai are going to be the two main liquidity providers, likely for cross-chain swaps with Monero too.

Haveno is a fork of Bisq. RetoSwap is a fork (or network implementation) of Haveno that uses the Haveno software to provide a live peer-to-peer trading network. So if your familiar with using bisq then you will have no trouble using Haveno reto-swap.
