[ANN] Bisq - Exchange, Decentralized.

[DireWolfM14]

BISQ announced earlier today that they're soon going to implement the lightning network[1]. Maybe Bitcoin Ordinals is what we needed to push services to adopt LN.

That would be pretty cool.  I know they have the intent to implement lightning functions in BisqV2, but I wasn't sure about Bisq1.  I don't think Bisq1 would work for lightning to fiat due to the multi-sig "escrow" function, but lightning to on-chain would still be nice.

I've been using Bisq 1.9.12 for the last month or so, and I love the new clone offer feature.  It allows a maker to create one offer, but clone it to use different payment methods.  For example, if I want to sell some bitcoin, but I don't care if I'm paid via Zelle or Strike, I can create one offer for Zelle, submit my maker fee and security deposit, and publish the offer.  Then I can clone the Zelle offer and change the payment method to Stirke, and I want to set a different margin for Strike payments, I do that as well.  If I use a trigger, I can different prices set for the cloned offer also.  I don't need to submit another maker fee or security deposit, both offers share the same fees and security deposit.  When a peer takes one of the cloned offers, both offers are removed from the market.

This will help makers by allowing them to use one offer (and one security deposit,) but advertise it in two or more markets.

Some other improvements made to V1.9.12:

Improvements
Allow cloning offers (with different price, payment method, currency, and trigger price) while sharing its maker fees and security deposits
Don't process burningman accounting data by default
Speed up burningman and statistics view loads
Allow dispute agent to resend PeerOpenedDisputeMessage to non-resposive peer
Prefer Burningmen's custom receiver address
Burningman Accounting: Show total fees and total DPT
Remove Burningman activation code (1, 2)
Add gettransactions method to API
getoffers (API): Return all offers instead of the only ones with a matching accounts

Any idea

I wanted to open Bisq this morning. Since it was freezing the OS up to not be able to use the mouse cursor, I had no choice to "hard reboot"  Win10.

I restarded the OS so, then tried to relaunch Bisq and now it doesn't open.
Yet, if I check the task manager I see it running



I deleted Bisq, installed it again but it doesn't solve the problem.

Not much can be found on the web about such issue, but I have the same as below
https://bisq.community/t/bisq-fails-to-launch-windows-10-and-other-os/10769/3

I checked the bisq.properties and it already has the “bannedSeedNodes=”


edit

Many thanks
I forgot to visit C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Roaming\Bisq

Hmm, never had any issues like that myself, and I use Windows also.  

First things first: make sure to back up the "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Bisq\btc_mainnet" directory.  That's where all your critical information like payment accounts are stored.  Then uninstall bisq using the Control Panel > Programs and Features tool.  Then delete the whole directory where the bisq data lives, i.e. "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Bisq" and restart the machine.  When you reinstall bisq make sure to use the latest version, 1.9.12.  Older versions will no longer function since the latest upgrade.

After rebooting, then installing the new version, don't start bisq.  Copy the backup of the "btc_mainnet" directory back to it's original path, then start bisq.

Hello,
where can I find the 32bit version, the 64 bit doesnt run on my laptop?

[citb0in]

Well, first of all you need to specify which OS you're intending to run Bisq on. Have a try and look at the source code. You should be able to compile it for your architecture.

Here on Bisq wiki you'll find everythind you need to download and install Bisq

Be sure to check this Reddit thread  and this Bisq thread which is related to your question.

In all other cases hopefully @layer1gfx will jump into this thread and provide some helpful information which may or may not lead to a satisfying solution.

Wish you best of luck

There is no 32 bits version.
I remember it has been asked to the devs to build it, but with the lack of time (or something else) they prefered to not make it I think.

Bisq just released new beta version of Bisq2 exchange with lot of changes and improvements compared to well know old version.
They made Bisq2 from ground up with multiple trade protocols (Liquid, Multisig, Easy, Sumbarine Swaps, Lightning, Monero swaps...) and privacy is improved in new version.
Chat and support is now included in Bisq2, and multiple user profiles can be created in the same Bisq client with one Bisq node.
Find more details on their blog page and watch video explanation:
https://bisq.network/blog/bisq-2-now-in-beta/

Bisq2 Beta download page is available for Linux, MacOS and wind0ws, and for notifications they have Bisq mobile app (iOS and Android):

This is a huge upgrade, in my opinion.  Adding lightning functionality and submarine swaps will help maintain privacy also.  I plan to play around with it soon, learn the new features.  I'm looking forward to seeing it as the official release.

I agree, this is big change in positive direction fir Bisq, but we are going to have to wait a bit longer for submarine swaps and other protocols to be released.
Watch the video and you will see full Bisq2 roadmap, according to that I don't expect to see all protocols being integrated this year, but I could be wrong.
It's important to say that both Bisq1 and Bisq2 will still be active in the same time, until certain point when everyone will have to make a switch.
