Hey,

Following on from my Bisq guide earlier this year, I've written a companion piece on Peach - a mobile-first peer-to-peer exchange with a simpler UX and a few different trade-offs worth knowing about.

How to buy bitcoin privately on Peach's peer-to-peer exchange

If Bisq felt like a lot of setup for your needs, Peach is worth a look. No security deposit required, available on Android & iOS, and trades settle on-chain with a similar multisig escrow model. The guide covers the full flow, including connecting your own node if you want to go further.

The team at Peach have reviewed it and gave it the thumbs up - which I'll take.

Peach's web app is also due in June, so I'll update the guide once that's live.

Next up: I'm working on a deep-dive into Lightning and how payment channels actually work. More soon.
