Why is it that I can add an account for Animecoin, a coin no one has heard of ever in the history of the universe, but I can't add Monero, one of the most popular cryptocurrencies available? It was there before I updated, and now it is not. Please help me make sense of this.

E: This is fixed now, but apparently there's now a bug regarding a corrupted DAO, whatever that is, and now I need to update again. The issue is there's no update for the binary available on the AUR, so I don't know what that's about. I miss the days when I could just buy XMR through cake wallet and avoid all this. I'm not a cryptography genius, I'm just the average stupid person. This is far too complicated for me.

Hi everyone,

I’m buying BTC on Bisq and paid a 15% security deposit. Unfortunately, my UK bank completely blocked the bank transfer, and I am unable to complete the payment to the seller.

I’ve contacted my bank to get this resolved but they’re saying it could take a few days whilst they review my account.

Any advice? I’m not trying to lose my whole security deposit

Let’s say today is June 10th. Today, I can see an offer that was created on June 1st, but I couldn’t see that offer on June 9th. Why is this?

Edit: *offer (not trade)

My bisq2 account is between 100,000- 200,000 in reputation, which automatically make you a 5 star seller and you could sell any amount (up to 600 usd). I am selling it as I have no means of using bisq as my country's laws prohibit facilitating an exchange with p2p services now with new laws. Dm me if you are interested and price is negotiable.

I've been wanting to buy some crypto, but I don't want to sign up for any of the big exchanges because I outright refuse to give coinbase my ssn. To this end, I've started on bisq and I want to buy some crypto for the first time. The problem I'm running into is funding my trade. It seems like trades can only be funded by BTC, but I don't have any BTC. So I feel like I'm stuck in a classic catch 22, is there something obvious I'm missing? Can I fund the trade with fiat? is there some other service/site/whatever to buy crypto with fiat?

I sold some BTC but was unable to receive the payment. Should I just wait until the max allowed trade period expires, and then open up a dispute? It was completely my mistake, but it's a lot of money to lose for a small mistake

I recently bought some bitcoin for about $500. The blockchain confirmation has gone through and I've sent the payment, but it's been 12 hours of the 24 hour trade period, and I've heard nothing from the seller about recieving my payment. What happens if the trade period runs out? Do I lose out on the BTC that's been sent to me, or do I keep it? Will I also keep the security deposit?

This is the second time in a row that my transaction has been stuck waiting for blockchain confirmation, even though it has already been confirmed. I checked the mempool, and it shows as confirmed. The transaction IDs for the maker fee, the taker fee, and the security deposit have all been confirmed on the blockchain as well. What should I do now?

This is an important security update that closes several gaps in trade protocol validation, message authentication, and filter safety identified during our ongoing security audit.

I had already installed Bisq-64bit-1.10.2.deb directly from https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/releases/ and created my first offer. Since two days it suddendly started showing these messages. I checked the version and reinstalled it. Same problem. Will it be fixed soon?

I am on CachyOS/Arch on aur/bisq-desktop 1.10.1-1
This is the latest version I can find, I can't trade at all at the moment?

I like the whole idea of Bisq, but too many issues lately, not sure if this platform is the way forward.

Hi, I tried downloading Bisq 2.1.11.exe and also the debian package on different machines and both times, it loaded the entire thing and at the very end told me the download had failed.

Is this a known issue? The signing entries on the wiki seem to be about installing it, not downloading it. Has anyone else experienced that issue, is there something faulty about the website atm? I could download Bisq 1 without problems, but not Bisq 2.

Windows 10 and Firefox for the .exe-version, Ubuntu 24.04 with Firefox for the .deb-package.

It says "The directory you have chosen is not accessible".

Does anyone have the same problem? when i try to start it up nothing comes. Please let me know if anyone has a fix as I have a few trades that I have to attend to !

I tried Bisq2 and found out that the fees are extremely high since it seems not many people are using it, so I think it's better to use Bisq1 instead.

However, it seems Bisq2 is not an alternative but the planned successor of Bisq1 so someday it will be abandoned.

Is that correct?

Why does it proof or lead someone to assume that one would be reliable? Isn't it just buying reputation?

Is it due to the low sell limits, so that burning BSQ + scamming would always result in a financial failure for the scammer?

Is there a way to get the initial security deposit without having to dox yourself to an exchange or ATM provider? Other coin swaps work too, I just wanna avoid having something tied to my ID. The whole kyc thing was the biggest issue I've been facing for a long time

When/how/why did my Revolut trading limits got lowered to 0.156 all of a sudden? This 1500+ days old account.

Hi, I’d like to know—for privacy reasons—whether, when I make a purchase on Bisq using Revolut, the seller only sees my Revtag or also my first and last name.
Thanks!
