Bisq is the best to buy Bitcoin!
But, yes, it can be difficult to install on a Mac. So don't be discouraged. Apple is doing this on purpose.
Apple does not want this to be installed on your computer.
Solution number 1:
1. Download the Bisq app (which is seem like you have done this)
2. Go to the "Applications" folder and go to the "Utilities" folder and open "Terminal"
3. Once in terminal you have to type in this command without the quotes
" sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Bisq.app "
4. It was ask for your log in password to your Mac and type it in and press enter.
5. Go back and now open up Bisq, it should work now
6. If it does not, then your Mac cannot install Bisq ( you can thank apple for that)

Solution number 2:
1. Get a used Laptop and I can help you install my Linux OS on it.
2. There is a good laptop reseller on ebay that I use to help people get into Linux
2. It will have Bisq and Sparrow already installed. My laptop OS is called "Sovran_SystemsOS_Light"
I have help many people use Bisq and Sparrow to buy Bitcoin withou KYC.
DM me if you need more help.
Thank you! I recall the whole command thi g didn't work 2.5 months ago. I will try this tomorrow and see. If not might do the option 2. I have a friend who's also who recycles tech and told me some months go that he might be a good source to buy a machine. Will reach out to you too ask see what makes most sense.
Welcome! Oh good to know about the command line. Yes, I would be happy to help get you a machine that runs good Bitcoin software without all the fuss.
Hi. 😉 I am back to this thread again. Tomorrow turns out to be two weeks later. I am curious to know why you say that Bisq is the best for buying bitcoin?
Also, have you seen their recently released Bisq2?
Because it gives us the option of privacy.
Yes, Bisq2 will be much easier for newbies using the Bisq platform.
Will be... But not yet? Is it not ready to use?
Yes, it is ready. I was thinking it is not ready for the Sovran Pro. Once it is, I will release it.
I would recommend learning how to use Bisq before Bisq2. It will give you a good skill in buying bitcoin with no kyc.
Unfortunately, I could not install on my apple machine. Spent hoursbeitng tortured. And then abandoned that effort. Cos ultimately apple wouldn't let me.
