coinbaazar - Escrow Exchange is launched worldwide
Hope you understand that when centralized exchanges like binance get hacked, chances of you withdrawing your money are still possible that's if the exchange becomes active again because technically you didn't get hack, the exchange was and they're entitled to pay all customers but when you get scammed on P2P escrow exchange due to some flaws on the exchange, you're not entitled to recieving your funds back. We have numerous reported cases via localBitcoin which is the most popular P2P exchange that victim of fraud never received back their BTC. So, no system is perfect but I'm sure more better solutions will be introduced in the near future.

We need to understand that exchanges like Binance  , and P2P exchanges like coinbaazar , and LBC, works on different platforms. As far as funds are concerned, we saw not only binance but in the past other exchanges got hacked as well, possible every 3rd person in crypto community is a victim of such exchanges. So to ensure that you can use your funds whenever you need , In that regards P2P exchanges are performing well from past few years.Also avoid putting all eggs in one basket.
Yes, exchange like Binance and P2P exchange operated on different systems but to me the act of users not receiving back their fund when P2P got hacked is still a flaws and it will be good if better solutions are implement because such cases may discourage new investors or new crypto users.

There are comparatively less chances of p2p exchanges of this sort getting hacked . past proves it all , most of exchanges were centralized exchanges which got hacked.

The concept is quite different as it is used worldwide , not specific to single country or location.

It could mean is like a telegram group where people sell and buy or exchange their coins also for bitcoin or other altcoin. Is quite good to see this larger group named as exchange but I don't know how reliable because they do escrow in telegram or localbitcoin.

The best way is to trade is through an exchange like coinbaazar or LBC . In that way you always know that your funds are safe as company escrow is neutral and unbiased.

Okay, now I am so sure that you are just trying to shill your project and I don't know why you can't just come out straight and say it's yours, or you are part of the team, doing it this way will only cause suspicions and make people run away from your project instead of checking out to see whether it's a good one or not, so I think the best thing you could do is to create an ANN thread for your project and give all announcement regarding upgrade there.

I am not asking anyone to check it  , if u want to you can check out its your provocative, its not an obligation, i just created this thread to share knowledge about how can we use different platforms according to our needs. Also though its recently launched if u find its good use it or else if its of no use for you , you can just ignore. Atleast people should know whats happening in our community.

Most of P2P exchanges are generally used for exchanging of gift cards, paypal and other payment methods to BTC, generally people do not save or trade crypto currencies on P2P exchanges like they do on other centralized exchanges. The concept is quite different as it is used worldwide , not specific to single country or location. Their main aim is to trade and get the funds.

P2P exchange like LBC could be a good choice to trade, but that will be back to the traders itself.
I think p2p exchange or usual exchange could be the next target to get hacked as we don't know what the hackers plan.
And related to the binance hack news, I still prefer to stay with the exchange than to use p2p exchange because I feel comfortable to use binance or the other exchanges.

I believe that P2P exchanges do have their pros and cons, but if u check the probability of scammers and compare it  to number of trades that happen on these platforms its quite less. There are some payment modes which can be tricky some times but most of them happen smoothly. If we take all the scenarios in mind P2P platforms are performing successfully, Thus ensuring smooth transactions by resolving the disputes ethically in right manner.

Cryptocurrency trades aren't safe if there is no P2P platforms. Never to use these yet (coinbazaar,LBC) so I won't recommend it's reliability and User experience but the idea to remove the control over people to trade, I think it's a good leap. Hoping to see decentralized escrow platform so we won't rely on any governing bodies in the future.

Ideally, I think that was the maiñ aim of cryptos and blockchain, that is to eliminate the middleman at all costs but surprisingly, we have given the power back to certain ”so-çalled" crypto enthusiasts. Anyways we shouldn't forget that every system has pros and çons and hence p2p exchanges have theirs as well.

P2p exchanges have lapses when it comes to their support system and the number of scammers. That's the risk of peer to peer anonymous transactions. The truth is whatever exchange we use, we should accept the fact that there's always a big risk of losing our funds due to a lot of reasons so we should be aware in choosing specific exchange method.

Bitcoin FTW!
If you're choosing vendors with good reputation on a site like Paxful or LocalBitcoins you won't have too many problems in my experience, though it is indeed true that there are plenty of scammers on P2P trading sites and support doesn't always work to your advantage. I also typically get a better exchange rate buying BTC and other cryptocurrencies through a more centralized fiat exchange, though there are people out there who prefer to take the more anonymous route and P2P exchanges work perfectly for that purpose.

Rightly said , In P2P the control is generally in users hand as compared to other platforms , Also securities like 2fa, google authentication , otp login , all these paramaters are quite difficult to break at the same time.
I disagree. I do believe that P2P platforms are less likely to be hacked when compared to big exchanges like Binance, but this in no way means that they are 100% secure and all trades will be risk free.

For example, LocalBitcoins is the most popular P2P OTC platform, but there are plenty of cases here where people lost their money due to scammers.

We can't guarantee that p2p could really provide an assurance of security and safer transactions but I guess it could at least assure us that the risk of hacking is quite lower in this another decentralized exchange. The fact that they're offering lower fees than centralized exchange is an advantage of choosing it. After all, it's still in the process of long improvement so we can't really conclude that it's a perfect choice over top exchanges.

I like the P2P trading platform idea but to be honest I never used it before,
But due to this binace hack incident I really think that P2P trading should be push to start.
We should be the one to keep our crypto safe , We should be in control of our wallet.
