I need help. Can someone please help me and hold my hand through this? Can someone help me install bisq on my computer please?!? 😫 I am so f*ING frustrated right now... I am just reminded why I actually never tried using bisq or any of the other p2p platforms 2+ months ago when I first start asking about and going down that rabbit hole. I am even more frustrated realizing that now knowing how much cheaper Bitcoin was two freaking months ago. And here I am sitting down on my computer tonight... Serious to do some study and try to set up bisq and I can't get passed the fucking download. I am not a developer but I am also not a fucking tech retaard and yet this is beyond me. Ughhhhhhhh 😖😵‍💫😫😩 #asknostr #grownostr #p2p #plebchain #freakingnoob #bitcoin #btc

If you are running already macOS Ventura (13.0+) you need to do following to be able to start Bisq: enter following command in Apple Terminal sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Bisq.app hit enter and you will be prompted to enter your password to be able to execute the command as super user After running this successfully you should be able to start Bisq as always. If this procedure still does not allow you to install Bisq, a last resort workaround is to install Bisq in a Linux Virtual Machine running on your system.

Try going into your settings->security-> allow opening software from unverified developers. I would verify the installer file and the link will be below for a step by step. Then once verified install it and switch the setting back to verified developers only. For a more step by step. https://bisq.wiki/Downloading_and_installing

Two months ago I was trying to follow instructions for some commands through terminal but that was a bit out of my league and it didn't seem like I was doing it right or something... Obviously... because I am back at this struggle 2.5 months later. UGH. Such a bummer. It must not be meant to be with bisq and me.

Thank you! I ended up clicking installing Update on my Os so now I am stuck for half an hour before I can use my System settings and follow some instructions. I am jumping in the hot tub! I might just give robosats a go again too instead after this.

1. Visit the Website: Visit [bisq.network](https://bisq.network/) to download Bisq. 2. Download Bisq: Choose the version for your system (Windows, Mac or Linux) and download. 3. Install: Open the downloaded file and follow the instructions to install. In Windows, it is na .exe file; on Mac, a .dmg; on Linux, it can be a .deb or .tar.gz. 4. Open Bisq: Once installed, open the program. It will connect to the network and configure everything for you. 5. Configure: Follow the on-screen instructions to configure your wallet and preferences.

BTC Session BISQ tutorial probably has what you need (https://youtu.be/4LyEKA5Iq9I?si=jjuMCGUL5b1uegdw) I would also suggest looking at Robosats as an alternative (I prefer it over Bisq). For this you’d just need to download TOR browser (https://www.torproject.org/) and then search “Robosats” will running TOR (I works just like a normal browser), you’ll find their GitHub (https://github.com/RoboSats/robosats) which has their onion link (RoboDexarjwtfryec556cjdz3dfa7u47saek6lkftnkgshvgg2kcumqd.onion) which should be opened in the Tor Browser. You can find a helpful BTC Sessions tutorial for Robosats here (https://youtu.be/XW_wzRz_BDI?si=5Tuu7p3kganffZp_)

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) https://bisq.wiki/Downloading_and_installing#macOS 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.

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?

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.

yes, then get a thinkpad new or used and install linux on it. Download Sparrow wallet and Bisq or Bisq2. Then from there on use your thinkpad to buy and store bitcoin. You should only be doing bitcoin buying and selling on linux. A used thinkpad is here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/225560037009 A new one here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CJG1RJCX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
