 I think that with a little push, y'all can help get my Bisq 2 NixOS package over the finish line so that it gets merged prior to the NixOS November stable release.
Especially considering that it's easy to do :)

First, run: nix run github:emmanuelrosa/nixpkgs/bisq2#bisq2

That will grab the package from my PR, build it, and run it.

If you have a HiDPI display, then use this instead:
nix shell github:emmanuelrosa/nixpkgs/bisq2#bisq2
bisq2-hidpi

Then, go ahead a play with Bisq 2 for a bit to see that it works. Note: QR code scanning is unavailable at this time.

Finally, go to the PR at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/347160 and add a comment stating that you tested the package, and then explain the results: Did it work or not?

The package code has already been reviewed and I addressed all of the concerns. What's needed is to have users report that it works; Those who merge code in Nixpkgs don't usually know how to confirm whether a package works or not since they don't use the software themselves.

Let's make this happen, y'all.
