So finally yesterday I did a couple of purchases on Robosats, and that went how it went.
This morning I was finally to catch a reasonable (0% premium) offer on nostr:npub1sqn6rpml88nq8khuvvneuqztfmvalpsarr8grkwy837hzdw63ajs6t5net of the right amount I like to buy to keep the total fees including network and exchange fees remain around my threshold of 1% of the purchase.
It was a fleeting one: I checked and there was nothing, then I refresh and it appeared. But when I took it, and Bisq did the corresponding availability check, it had suddenly gone offline. So I (kind of desperately, I admit) refreshed a few more times, and there it was again after a couple of minutes. So I pounced.
Parallel to that, my offer to buy was still sitting there untouched, even though I had increased the premium to 1%, so I deactivated it and I'll turn it back on next time I want to buy.
Never seen anything like that, over a week with no takers is insanity. The proof of that is that the sell offer I took was a perfect match to my own offer to buy, except I was willing to pay 1% over the premium, and still this seller made an offer to sell at 0% premium, rather than taking mine. Talk about irrational (yes, maker/taker fees are different, but the 1% would more than pay for that, and then some).
I wonder if there's some sort of problem with the platform that causes offers not to be seen (in either direction, because I couldn't see any "normal" offers I'd take either). I was buying as usual just a couple of weeks ago, and we had this update to v 1.9.19 last week.
