LN hold invoices work pretty well.
Using Lightning for escrows would be the ideal, especially for low value items. Do you know any tool or wallet that allow users to manage such thing?
reply
Valet ♦️ allows to "hold" incoming payments. There is CLN plugin too. Good one

Pity is only for android, ideally something OS-agnostic will be better to enable everyone to play in the game of trade. I'll give it a try anyway
reply
We don't have VCs $$$ to maintain OS agnostic wallets. Besides, Valet ♦️ is only on FDroid due to Googles KYC policy.
reply
Only for FDroid, lol, sure... the apk runs on any android phone, you should know that. I was simply saying that, despite being a great app, something that is web based or can be downloaded locally and run offline would be more suited for this.

How do you think it could work Lightning offline escrow?

ecash
reply
This is not true. Ecash does need internet.
Basically, hosted channels could be transferred similarly to ecash, even Lightning channels. So idk imagine Valet ♦️ does that.

A LN node is required in this case. One could ideally practice with Polar. Then, when comfortable enough, install in an existing node @Alby Hub to manage multiple HODL invoices.
Not ideal for routing nodes though because Hold Invoices can take up significant transaction space, even those involving small amounts, and the Lightning protocol allows 483 concurrent HTLCs to conform with the standard transaction size.
Without an LN node, one could also use Robosats coordinators as escrow service, but both parties must already trust each other and sync to not allow others to take the offer.

Not sure robosats is the right way to go. I'll explore Albyhub and see if useful for coordinating escrows. Thanks

Have been exploring it some time ago. It's the ideal tool, need to figure out where to install it together with LND. It also is apparently available only for testnet, or it could be disabled somehow to make it work on mainnet?
