117 sats \ 1 reply \ @solomon1923 OP 17 Mar \ parent \ on: Bisq 2 has just been released. I am a Bisq contributor AMA about Bisq or Bisq 2 AMA
I am bullish on there being a mobile version of Bisq in the future. One of the issues is Bisq is a decentralized peer to peer network. This makes it a lot more difficult to have it running on a mobile. As technology improves I am sure this will make the translation to a mobile a lot easier.
It is for the Bisq Easy protocol. The trading fees for the future protocols have not been decided yet but I imagine there will be a fee of some sorts.
Bisq Easy will run at a loss for Bisq, but it gets revenue from the trading fees from Bisq 1.
As feeless trades are just for Bisq Easy I do not think this will be much of a concern. Bisq did not make any revenue from Get Your First Bitcoin Matrix room to help on-board new users. Bisq Easy is essentially a development of this concept (small more convenient trades for new users).
Maybe. Personally I like the idea of a Bisq Fedimint that could form part of a trade protocol. Bisq likely has the reputation to achieve this but there are also regulatory issues to consider and Bisq's general dislike of providing any sort of custodianship.
One of the advantages of Bisq 2 is it allows developers to create new protocols that can be integrated into Bisq without taking on all the complicated codebase of Bisq 1. It is designed for trade protocols to be modular in that sense.
The protocol is very resilient. Contributors and users would be the easier options for any attacks.
Good question. I think not being a mobile application and replying on on-chain transactions have been a big barrier to adoption. Also people like convenience. I think more adoption will come when more bitcoiners understand the benefits of stacking no KYC sats, and likely have more difficulty doing it via a centralized entity. Users that have experiences issues with banking and exchanges often turn to solutions such as Bisq. I expect more and more people to run into these issues in the future.
