What lnp2pBot is
lnp2pBot is an open-source Telegram bot that matches buyers and sellers of bitcoin and settles trades over the Lightning Network. The project site describes it as having no KYC, no registration and no identity verification, with no middlemen and no personal data required by the bot itself. Using it does require a Telegram account, which is normally tied to a phone number, so users who want to stay private need to account for that separately. Sellers lock funds with a Lightning hold invoice while the fiat payment is completed, and community channels list open orders in several languages.
