What’s the whole transaction process? Do I need to meet sellers if I want to buy bitcoins?@cycryptr

When I first heard about Local Lightning, I knew it had value. There are so many reasons (good and bad) to exchange fiat for bitcoin in-person. I believe Local Lightning's good use cases can far outweigh the bad and can help people who need instant access to bitcoin solve problems that just couldn't be solved before.

Pros:

Instant settlement, non-custodial, and fun to use.

Cons:

None. It's straight forward and provides a simple way for in-person exchanges to happen.

How to identify every post is real? I tried this site, seems every user can post , the email feature cannot work currently.If someones post spams, how to stop him?

@cycryptr Great job, Lighting may gets much more popular in users. Is this transaction process can be like localbitcoins.com and otcbtc.com? You can set an official escrow wallet address, if some bitcoin sellers wanna sell bitcoin, they have to transfer same bitcoins into this official address for escrow and post the with locations and . When one buyer see this post on Local Lightning and decide to buy it , He would send dollars or EU to Local Lightning official wallet, after you receive the money, you can notify this seller release the bitcoins to this buyer. After buyer receive the right amount bitcoins , you can send right dollars to this seller's account. it's like alipay process. localbitcoins.com ,otcbtc.com, aliexpress.com and taboo.com all use this method to secure transaction process. Would you like Local Lightning and your another blockstack app use this transaction process.If you wanna do this , I have help you on the Chinese language translation and some front-end programming.

@cycryptr I really don't wanna waste time on the road to meet someones. At least two hours on the road even in the same city. You must find a convenient way to fix the escrow issue to secure the transaction process .

@cycryptr Though I don't use it for bitcoin exchange, but you can open up a branch for Chinese translations for me and get the files ready, love to join decentralized open source project like this. May be there is a better way to secure transaction 100% without middle man.
