BisqReviews of bisq.network

Bisq is not a company - it's simply a network of users who trade with each other using software. Many reviews here are pretty clueless about that and others obviously did not follow the trading rules otherwise they would not have lost money. It's very secure - you don't have to release bitcoin until they pay! There is much less trading going on and sellers generally ask more because it is much more private. There is a help forum available but you have to look around to find it. You also need a little bit of bitcoin to get started to put up as a security deposit for your trades. Definitely start small and build up confidence.

These guys are doing a great job and it shows on their product. The higher fees compared to an exchange are worth the effort when you think this is purely P2P, that's the real spirit of crypto. Their app still needs some tweaking, but I've been using for some time and feel they're improving with every new release.

Bisq improved a lot. They are fast and reliable when it comes to support. The team working on all forums where our issues are answered and solved. I am loving the new addition of coins and trading tools. Keep up the good work Bisq.

I love trading in Bisq as I have been using it from last 5 months and my funds never got held by them as their Decentralized arbitration system and security deposits always protect their traders, and more than that if you are newbie it is Instantly accessible, no need for registration or approval from a central authority is required.

Bisq has a good customer service and reliable. The trading tools are easy to use. They need to work on liquidity volume. I expect them to add more coins. My account was locked a month ago and they sort it out at an average speed. I do not have any other big issues.

Bisq functions different from what most expect. The negative reviews here are from people who didn't look into how to use it. XMR is a privacy coin, not a crime coin. Lot more crimes going on with usd than btc or xmr. go after the crime not the payment. And quit thinking victimless actions with rules against are crimes. I missed the part where the DAO is to be staked for income. The DAO is to fund devs and other contributors, and the value of it changes with the market. It can also serve as a bond and for voting. Keep all the activity on the exchange. there's no reason to send outside escrow, or finalize early. Could have been a charge back, but the way the guy described it, there was never a fiat payment. There's a limited number of trading pairs because they won't accept junk coins. The trades are slow. you must wait for a bitcoin confirmation, on average 10min. Then it relies on your trade partner to be ready. It is helpful to link the mobile app for trade progress notifications. The volume is low, catch 22. I did have some coins get stuck over a year ago, took a couple days to fix it, and a bug was fixed with the next software update. Support has been moved to Keybase Chat
