Found another two pieces of information in Peach Telegram channel that I believe are relevant for archiving purposes (and to better understand how Peach is going):

Regarding how the app manages the encrypted bank details that are used in the app when a SEPA Payment is made:

Secondly, as per Steph announcement (who I assume runs the OP account) today, Peach has surpassed the millionth CHF volume traded (which equals to roughly 45 BTC as of now). For a project that started in September of 2022[1][2], I find this amount awesome and it makes be believe that P2P adoption has a good future ahead.

I'm still confused with the meetups. Roll Eyes

When you go to the event, all the folks are supposed to be a Peach Bitcoin user? Or random bitcoiners groups are listed at peachbitcoin.com/for-meetups? I mean the group that goes to the restaurant to talk BTC.
And I may perhaps find a PeachBitcoin user?...

You can find more information regarding meetups here[1] @LeGaulois. As far as I'm aware the concept is to be seen as a partnership - if an organization is having a Bitcoin meetup for numerous reasons (to talk about certain aspects of the technology for example) they can get in touch with Peach and also provide the option for whoever is attending the meeting to exchange cash for bitcoin using Peach wallet as a safe "heaven" that promotes the exchange. You can already select the option of "Cash" whenever you use the app, but whenever you are near a Bitcoin meetup that has partnered with Peach, you will also get alerted that you can do a cash exchange physically (and, more importantly, in a safe environment that meetups provides).

The company also provides some cool merchandise to help promote the service and it also shares 1% of the trading volume with the organization body of the meetup[1]:

Quote

What’s in it for the meetup organizers?

Meetup organizers play an important role in the Peach cash trade: they are the ones who will need to explain how Peach works, and will be the point of contact for anyone using the feature during the meetup.

To thank & compensate the organizers for this, we give back three things:

1% of the volume traded. Important note: we will give back 1% only to the meetup organizers that can be subject to receive donations. Some meetups, due to their status or organization, will not be able receive it.
Peach merch
Visibility for the meetup on the Peach app.

To directly answer your question: Not all Bitcoin meetups will have a partnership with Peach Bitcoin (especially in the current early stages of the service, but this will surely improve long term). Whenever you're in doubt just look up into the application and see if there's a nearby meetup hosting this service and, when you're there, just look out for these[2][3][4] signs and you'll know you're in the right place.

From the list I've seen, I think that random groups can also be listed in the app.
The idea is for the user to choose to make the payment when meeting the person. The app being the escrow service.

Just letting anyone interest knowing - Peach Wallet has been updated to v0.2.5 (as of 27/04/2023).

Most important thing is they added more meetups and payment options to choose from.
If someone is interested to create new meetup location in their country/city contact them on website meetup page.
I saw they added Keks Pay for payment option for Croatia, and few other options in online wallet options.

Suggestion for Peach Bitcoin devs... create dark theme option for app please.

Do you know what happens to the money that is donated if the project fails to get the pitch?

So far they have 36 projects[1] competing for being within the top 8, and all of the sats gathered during this stage will be donated (independently if only 8 projects reach the final stage). No sats will be lost

I guess that if you ever used Peach Wallet and ended up liking the product/concept, it never hurts to donate some sats to see it it is able to reach the pitching phase

. The more P2P solutions out there, the better!

I really can try to help. Thanks for the tip. Wink

Now they have a very low percentage, it shouldn't be easy to get. We'll see.

We just hope they continue to grow and have enough sellers/buyers to go around.

Now that you talk about "growing", Peach Wallet is currently trying to get a "nomination" to pitch their product in Prague in the next BTC Prague event[1]. In order for them to make it, they are competing with more startups in a voting event - where you vote by donate sats - here[2] where the top 8 most voted will advance to the final round of pitching their product within BTC Prague event. All sats received will be donated to "Haima Ostrava, Clinic of Children's Medicine Department of Pediatric Hematology and Hemato-oncology"[2].

I guess that if you ever used Peach Wallet and ended up liking the product/concept, it never hurts to donate some sats to see it it is able to reach the pitching phase

As far as I'm aware, Peach Wallet generates a new/different address for each individual buy offer that you take. You can also change the payout address in Settings -> Payout address if you want to specify a different one.

Thanks! This can be really useful, to achieve increased privacy. As this way, we can manage each purchase individually and not combine two purchases and thus guarantee greater privacy.

We just hope they continue to grow and have enough sellers/buyers to go around.

@Peach Bitcoin I have a question:

When we buy bitcoin, the money stays in the app's wallet until we transfer it to another wallet. Whenever we make a purchase does the bitcoin go to a different address or is it always at the same address?

Congratulations for announcing your service here on the forum!

I already knew the app, since the beta version and still closed to the general public. At the time I already thought it was a very good app. But, with this version open to all things got much better.

I recommend using it, as it is simple and practical to use. Totally satisfied and I hope they continue to grow. By the way, I believe that with the approval of MiCA by the UE, this service will become even better.

I'll keep an eye out for news, and if I have any suggestions, I'll come here and share. Wink

10 years seems very long. Which jurisdiction are you based in which requires this length of data retention?

They are probably under Swiss jurisdiction, according to their privacy policy and terms & conditions page.
I remember they said limitation for cash trading was also according to Swiss law, and company registered address is:

2. This is an opt in into the newsletter. We now use sendinblue instead of mailer lite (t&c and privacy policy are super old tbh).

I would suggest that having an up to date privacy policy is pretty important. I certainly wouldn't be happy to find my data had been shared with third parties I hadn't agreed to.

App is region locked on playstore. I'm guessing you were coming from an IP address outside Europe? I tested it with a few Europe IPs and it worked fine.

Yeah, unfortunately I am currently outside Europe, and it seems their focus is only on some European countries as seen by the fiat currencies supported by the App.
I guess this is where I swallow the bitter pill, knowing that I will never be able to use their service.

We are working on 2 weeks sprint basis. Perhaps we can make that available on GitHub as well!

If possible please do indeed. I think that transparency is always great to see in any kind of company, especially the ones that are being developed within the cryptocurrency world. As for the sprints ahead, I'm really looking forward for those features, especially the one where you mention you'll make the app open source as well - I suppose it will eventually happen this year, perhaps sometime during the Summer. Fingers crossed!

I've also noticed that whenever a user wants to export their funds to other wallets, he/she isn't able to do a custom amount - they are only able to either send the whole funds or don't send at all. Do you also plan to implement a feature to tackle this experience?

It would be best if the service were available globally, but the EU is still a huge market with just under 500 million people and one of the richest areas in the world. In the future, there is always the possibility that the service will expand outside the EU. As for Russia, it is not only a matter of a personal decisions, but also the fact that most of their banks are on the blacklist, and anyone who would try to avoid these sanctions by offering this kind of service would only create additional problems for himself.

Not everything is so clear. For now, we are a small company and will scale up and solve problems as they come.
Therefore, at the moment we are focusing on those things that can give impetus to our development, I hope you understand.

1. Your privacy policy states that you collect the details of fiat payment methods, as well as receiving bitcoin addresses. How long do you store this data for?
2. Your privacy policy states you share email addresses with MailerLite for the purposes of marketing. Why can't users opt out of this?

3. I assume this is a 2-of-2 multi-sig. Is this correct? Can you share your additional script on top of the standard multi-sig script which allows you to spend these coins with a single private key after 4,320 blocks?

1. If you allow me, I will refer to this post.

2. This is an opt in into the newsletter. We now use sendinblue instead of mailer lite (t&c and privacy policy are super old tbh).

3. Our first test on mainnet (Under details you can find this part).

Then in 2 more weeks (sprint 11):

Code:

- fixing design to adapt to small screen
- change in account architecture: separating wallet and account

Following sprints:

Code:

- import p2p reputations from other platforms
- review of trading limit mechanism
- review of sorting matches with filters
- let seller edit premium/payment method after the offer is published
- create multiple sell offers by finding one escrow
- implement market stats for both buyer and seller
- implement full wallet functionally (this is when we plan to make the app open source too)

What's up with the rumors you are going to release Peach app as open source software?
That would be great, if it happens.

I'm happy to tell you that it isn't a rumor - Peach Bitcoin twitter account actually tweeted[1][2] that same promise:

Quote from: Hispo on April 18, 2023, 10:45:06 AM

I just took a look a your web and I must say it is a delight to the eyes, I love the artistic approach you went for.
If you would like a suggestion from me: you should consider to add support to markets or BTC/FIAT pairs from countries where Bitcoin has a wide volume and increasing adoption. For example, Nigeria, Venezuela and Argentina. 🍑🍑🍑

I may be wrong on this assumption, but I would say that Peach Bitcoin is, for now, focusing only on the EU markets. They recently stated that they don't operate in Africa for now[3] and all of their offers regarding currency reflect their Europe focus. Take, for example, their US stance regarding expansion[4]:

Quote

Peach is not available in the US market and don’t plan to be for now

While they are losing a great deal of customers of US (for example), I think that a steady and organic grow is always recommended when we are speaking of small entities starting out. EU has a great deal of users that they can target and once their product is more matured perhaps they'll revalue again their stance. Entering in the US means being (perhaps) even more regulated since they have different legislation applicable, but only time will tell I guess.

@Peach Bitcoin - Could you eventually share, if possible, a roadmap of things/features to come? Every time I check your Twitter page you've got raving reviews and it seems that the developers behind the product are great, so kudos for that!
