Haveno ( https://haveno.exchange ) is a fork of bisq. It uses monero as the base layer, NOT bitcoin, so its good for transaction privacy....plus cheaper fees! It is a standalone desktop application that has tor built in and does everything over tor.

Currently in testing stage with fake stagenet monero and needs your help.

Haveno allows you to trade fiat and cryptocurrency for monero and other things like gold and silver. You are trading directly with another peer as you would with localbitcoinsLOLRIP and localmoneroWOOT.

The good thing about bisq and haveno, it can be a FIAT on/offramp. There is multisig and arbitrator protections when there are issues with the trade.

What to do?

  • Download binary from the release page and install (or build it if you are a fancy maid :)
  • Grab yourself some stagenet xmr from https://community.rino.io/faucet/stagenet/ and send to your monero address in haveno. -Create an account or 10 (all kept local, except the data you need to give to your trading partner)
  • Make and take offers and generally test things out as if it was real money.

You can test with real people, or launch a couple instances on virtual machines and trade with yourself.

I think a lot more testing is still needed to get a good solid proper release.

Any bugs found or requests it would be great to make an issue on github. There is also a haveno matrix/irc chat for help and discussing haveno

bisq docs may help as a guide on how accounts, offers, etc work.

Would be great to have an appimage so it is usable on any linux system.

If you check the github regarding running on other linux systems its almost a portable install. Extract the .deb, then extract the data file, go to the bin directory and launch haveno.

It has many dependencies and is fairly complex to build. There would be a lot more people testing it if we had an appimage, IMO

Great to see the progress, this is a very import project for monero and I really hope to see it succeed!

There is a new version out that was released a few days ago..

Can you explain the difference between this and LocalMonero?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really? Localmonero is a company and the site is hosted on usual webservers. Bisq and haveno are open source desktop applications that allow censorship resistant value transfer between peers. No company or website to shut down.

REALLY??????

yeah i know, I just meant functionally. But yeah, LM on decentralized networks, makes sense.
