Demo

Installation

In order to install this script, simply clone the repository and install the requirements (if necessary) via the below commands:

git clone https://github.com/j4imefoo/nokyc.git
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Please note that you must be running Tor (either via the daemon or the Tor browser) in order for the script to properly gather offers over Tor. The easiest way to get started if you're unfamiliar is to download and run the Tor browser and edit TOR_PORT to 9150 as shown below.

Possible use cases

One can use this script to check on current offers and decide if connecting to Bisq, HodlHodl, or Robosats are best for you in order to buy or sell bitcoin. Take into account that it is possible to run this script wherever we have Python installed, including an Android phone using Termux.

While outside the scope of this project, it is very easy to automate using this script and, eg., get an SMS notification once the script finds a offer we might be interested in.
