FAQ

Why should I use this site over a traditional exchange?

This site is perfect for anybody looking to buy/sell bitcoin in their local area, with cash and without KYC or ID. Most exchanges today require ID and KYC verification, impose arbitrary restrictions and can freeze your account without reason. Many banks also impose transfer limits to exchanges or account closures to those they deem suspicious.

This site is perfect for anybody looking to do simple cash trades, without worrying about leaking their privacy, or having their accounts frozen.

What are your fees?

Using this site is completely free, but you must use it at your own risk. CitySats is not able to mediate disputes.

Is this website opensource?

Yes, you can find the code here: https://github.com/bitcoinwarrior1/CitySats.
