Hi all, I’m new here.
Sorry for my poor English, it’s not my mother tongue.
I’ve taken an offer yo buy some BTC by a verified (green) seller.
After one network confirmation, I made the instant SEPA wire (I’m from Europe).
As the seller didn’t react after a few hours, I’ve sent a friendly message asking to confirm.
While I can see the seller is still online, he doesn’t react.
So I have added a tag to him (slow) to avoid making business in the future, because instant SEPA should be confirmed faster by the seller.
Now, there is something making me very scared.
When I return to the “Buy BTC” tab, I can see my “tag” applied to several seller accounts, some in NL, some in LT, some are green, orange and red, all with the same onion address.
Just after posting this here, the seller texted me to say he received my transfer. I feel relieved!
But it’s still strange to see different account in different countries with the same address onion, right?
When you message the seller and it shows they are online it does not necessarily mean they are near their computer. Some traders run Bisq 24/7 so ii will always show as online.
I would not worry about sellers having accounts in multiple SEPA regions. Some banks give specific IBANs, for example TransferWise gives a Belgium IBAN (BE), N26 gives a German IBAN (DE), Monese gives a UK IBAN (GB) etc.
Sepa instant time is 24 hours. Not slow. Sellers as makers need stay “online” with computer but may afk because offer only listed while bisq is running
