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 bisq (npub1sqn…5net) 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.

quoting nevent1q…qg0zMy Bisq offer is still untaken, and there aren't even any rational sell offers either. Super bizarre situation, never experienced this before.
So I have decided to give Robosats another chance despite the insane, completely unjustified premiums... and I can't get it right.
I have accepted an offer, bonded a few thousand sats as deposit, and when I submit my LN invoice to receive the sats I'm buying, it just sits there doing nothing. It doesn't stick and it keeps saying waiting for buyer's invoice.
This thing is expiring in a couple of hours. Basically, I've lost my deposit, haven't I?
