How does Bisq protect its Users privacy?
Bisq is a standalone, open-source software that you can inspect before running on your machine, and as a result, you don't have to trust that any server is logging your personal details (as you would in the case of a website).
As for the trading process, your payment information is stored locally on your machine, and only your trading partner (and your mediator or arbitrator, in case of a dispute) can ever see it. All data exchanged between users is encrypted and signed.
To transmit data from one user to another, Bisq uses a P2P network built on top of Tor, which provides a high degree of anonymity. The user doesn't need to do any additional work for all of this to work—it is all integrated in the application.

Wondering how long does a trade take on Bisq?
There is no automatic order matching on Bisq, and trades are settled manually by humans. As a result, trades are not completed as quick as they would be on centralized exchanges, but can still be fairly quick.
Some payment methods are instant, while others can take a few days.
As far as Bisq is concerned, the deposit transaction needs to be confirmed first before the buyer can send payment. Bitcoin transactions take about 10 minutes to confirm, so with quick traders and quick payment method, a Bisq trade can be completed in a matter of minutes.

I'm unable to engage in Bisq trading due to the scarcity of offers in my currency. What options are available to address this issue?
If there have been no recent trades in your currency market, additional efforts are required to kickstart it. At the very least, it is essential to incorporate widely-used payment methods in your market. If these methods are not present in the available list of currencies, you can propose them on GitHub using the provided link. Additionally, implementing some form of marketing is necessary to attract users and market-makers in order to initiate market activity.
Please Note: A lack of substantial offers in a specific market doesn't necessarily imply a lack of trading activity. There may be individuals actively monitoring the market who would readily accept an offer if you initiate one. This scenario often occurs in markets such as CAD, AUD, NGN, and GBP.

Will my bank know I'm trading bitcoin on Bisq?
Generally speaking, Bisq doesn't deal with banks at all. All fiat transfers take place directly between users.
But there have been reports of banks closing accounts upon suspecting bitcoin activity. As a result, Bisq requires that the "reason for payment" field always be left BLANK when making a payment (if the payment method offers such a field).
If a reason is required, it should be something trivial like a "-" or "payment". If you want to use something else, please agree on an alternative with your peer using trader chat.

Do you include the $ you’re transferring is for the purchase of bitcoin in the “reason for payment” field?
Maybe that’s why they shut down your account.

Why BISQ?
With centralized exchanges, users often must deposit their funds onto the exchange, ceding control of their assets to the platform. While, BISQ on the other hand enable users to retain control of their private keys and funds throughout the trading process, reducing the risk of theft or loss due to exchange malfeasance.

Bisq is Private!
When we refer to "privacy," we are underscoring users' control over access to their personal information. Most centralized exchanges mandate users to disclose personally identifiable information during the account setup process, connecting users' trading activities with their real identities. This practice exposes users to substantial risks, as their personal and financial data may be vulnerable to theft, leaks, or misuse, ultimately working against their best interests.
#Bisq fixes this💯
#decentralized #dex #nokyc #stacksats
Bisq is Secure!
When we use the term "SECURE", we are emphasizing the protection of users' funds. Centralized exchanges necessitate that users temporarily store their bitcoins on exchange servers, which, when done by thousands of users, presents significant incentives for these servers to become targets for hacking and the potential theft of users' bitcoins. Regrettably, this scenario of hacks and thefts unfolds repeatedly.

When we say censorship-resistant, we are referring to freedom: users' ability to voluntarily trade with one another without interference from a third party. Centralized bitcoin exchanges are highly susceptible to such interference. By their nature, they must operate within one legal jurisdiction or another, putting them at risk of being fined or shut down if they do not comply with the laws and other rules of that jurisdiction, which may include restrictions on who can trade and what can be traded, and which almost always include requirements to collect personal information as described above.

The payment methods on Bisq vary in chargeback risk, regional availability, transaction size, fees, privacy, verifiability, and other characteristics. The top consideration for maintaining payment methods is chargeback risk. PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App are not supported on Bisq because chargebacks for payments made with those services are relatively easy.
