This is an amazing announcement. It shows absolute commitment to the cause both on your and eXch part. I will need to have a look at the issues you are referring to with Bisq to understand why you launched the initiative but this is something that inevitably will attract a lot of attention from those that want these sorts of exchanges to succeed.

Following our recent Bisq issues we partnered with eXch to launch an initiative to write a better Bisq 1 client. The initial funding for the initiative is 5 BTC.

The dangers of AirTags and car rentals. How our team was TRACKED in the Caucasus ⚠️

On Friday we were organising a meetup for WizardSwap in Tbilisi 🇬🇪

We arrived in the country a few days earlier, rented a car and went into the Caucasus. We drove through the night across the valleys and up the mountains. The next two days we spent admiring the sights and hiking up to the glaciers.
On the third day, as we were returning to a hotel, our phones all chirped within 10 minutes of each other. We were being TRACKED. Our phones all detected an Apple AirTag following us.
Since all our phones received the warning we knew the tracker wasn't one of ours. Although we were far from any towns, we were on a road. Quite a busy one at that. Could it be that some other car was close enough to us to trigger the alert?

We tapped the notification and saw a map. 8h of our travels were laid out. Point by point. This could not have been an accident.
When an AirTag follows you you're given the option to have it make a sound. It will do so without letting its owner know. We clicked the button and heard a chirp from behind the car.
We stopped on the side of the road. Emptied the trunk. Pressed the button again. The chirp was right in front of us. We took out the spare tire and beneath it found an AirTag.

Disabling one is quite easy. Twist the metal cap off and take out the battery. Given its location within the car we immediately assumed it was installed by the rental company. We reached out asking about it and they starting off by LYING about it 🤡

Why did it take 3 days for us to get alerted? Usually you'd receive a warning after 8h, but in our case the AirTag was low on battery and didn't stay on for long enough previously. As for what happened to the AirTag - we attached it a donkey we found walking on the side of the road up in the mountains 🫏

"Funny", the only time I found a camera in my hotel room was in Batumi, in Georgia too.
(The manager had also lied, assuring me that it had been “forgotten” by a previous customer LOL)

About the Airtag, I'm not surprised that there is one (even if it's a disgusting practice), given that the country is at the heart of a zone of tension in many respects, but what I do find surprising is the company's lie about it, which is clearly shady. Did they provide you with more professional explanations when you returned the car?

Interesting! Only time I got bitten by bedbugs was in Batumi too.

They provided a rather generic "we need to know where our cars are", after additional pressure they explained there's fine prints disallowing the use of the car on some roads in one region, because they are very dangerous and insurance doesn't cover them. Also apparently this assists in locating the vehicle if someone drops it off at a random place at the airport parking. Although that second reason is usually solved by requesting a video of where the car was parked.

If they were honest about the AirTag from the beginning I probably wouldn't even mind it that much. Of course I would disable it or spoof its location. The lying really is the most egregious part of this

Isn't that the budget tracker that uses any iPhone to broadcast it's data? A serious tracker wouldn't have alerted your phone.
I really dislike how phone companies use every phone they ever sold as a free data provider for all other devices they sell.

Lol. Now give the donkey an iPhone so he can broadcast his location.

It is! Pretty silly of them to even use an AirTag when there's plenty of areas is very spotty. I suppose maybe it makes no difference to them since when the customer returns all this history will be uploaded to them anyways.

Only thing missing in this story is James Bond 007 coming back with a donkey in the end  
I am a bit surprised they don't have GPS tracking in their cars, and I am not defending the company that rented cars to you, but they are probably using AirTags as cheap protection from thieves.
It would be better if you didn't use iPhones (they can't do this with android phones), but dumb phones are even more secure.

Or drop him of in the nearest village or town.

I have an Android phone actually. But one of my team mates traveled with his iPhone. We both got the notification at the same time

The image looks fine. It's too big in my opinion but it's visible on the forum. I do support the notion of uploading Bitcointalk images to TalkImg. After all, that's why this image host was created. We can never know if and when we will have another Imgur issue with other service providers.

It seems to be appearing and disappearing. Maybe an issue with Bitcointalk. I'll use talkimg in the future, thanks for the tip!
