Trade volume of Grin on Bisq

[pazza83]

Hi Grin community.

I am a contributor for Bisq.

In December 2021 Grin/BTC was added as a market on Bisq.

There was a discussion on adding it here:

Bisq exchange DAO vote on supporting Grin again

The well known and DAO governed exchange Bisq is considering to relist/support Grin. Bisq did allow trading of Grin in the past, but because of lack of payment proofs and the many hard-fork upgrades to Grin they stopped supporting Grin. Grin as privacy focused, community governed cypher-punk coin fits in very well with the vision of Bisq. Bisq like Grin is community governed and focuses on the coins that actually matter. If like me you would like Bisq to start relist grin, you can give the D…

The GitHub issue got lots of engagement from the Grin community:

Re-activate GRIN

Since Grin was added there have been only 5 Grin/BTC trades.

I thought it would be a good opportunity to remind users that you can now trade Grin on Bisq on a decentralized exchange, hold your own keys, and not requiring any KYC.

Also it would be create to encourage any Grin users that would like to be market makers on Grin/BTC.

Also I would like to buy some Grin but there are no offers

If the community has any suggestions how to make Bisq a popular exchange for people wanting to buy or sell Grin please share your comments.

Many thanks

What is needed is more exposure and ‘marketing’.
One thing that needs to be done is that we should put on grin.mw or on the grin community council github page (and linked website) an overview of exchanges and their ups and downs, for example if they are requiring KYC, if they allow withdrawal and deposit and if they are decentralized like Bisq.

At the moment Bisq did get some minor exposure on the forum and on Github, but this reaches maybe 5% of all Grinners. Most Grinners can better be reached via Telegram or Discord. Possibly if we have good up to date overview, we could link it in the Grin newsletter.

I am not sure how to advertise Bisq on Telegram and Discord. Maybe someone can make a nice meme or something. Also what would be great is a video tutorial showing how to trade on Bisq which we can link to on the website. The same holds for other exchanges like TO. Do not underestimate the power of youtube (or other channel) video’s. These are just my thoughts, maybe we can discuss it in the Community Council meeting on Keybase on March 1:

Sorry, was planning to download Bisq to buy more grinnies myself .

Bisq is great, but a bit hard to use to be honest. A tutorial about how to buy or sell Grin would be great

Listing all exchanges that support grin on the official Grin website is really a good idea!

The following extra info may be also worthwhile listed:

1. Available trading pairs and fee: Grin/USDT, Grin/BTC, Grin/ETH
2. Trading volume
3. Realtime price if possible
4. Requirement of KYC?
5. Deposit method
6. Withdraw method and associating fee
7. The tutorial/doc page for usage if available.

need VPN must has tor Network

I think people are guilty of advocating for the Bisq listing because they want it to promote grin, without actually intending to use it themselves.

[pazza83]

Thanks a website listing would be great.

Bisq has a YouTube channel with some walkthroughs on how to trade there: https://www.youtube.com/c/bisq-network

It would be great for someone to make a how to buy Grin on Bisq video.

Bisq connects to TOR directly to no VPN required.

@Grundkurs

using DEX has the potential to bite you in the ass

Yes, this is always an issue when using a centralized custodian.

I think the privacy and censorship reistance principles of Bisq and Grin are aligned well. Not your keys…

[readysalted]

i try many times stop here

[pazza83]

Hi @readysalted are you using the latest version: 1.8.2

I would recommend updating if not: Bisq Downloads ‹ Bisq - A decentralized bitcoin exchange network

You can also access support via Bisq channel in Matrix Matrix bisq.chat - Bisq Wiki

BisQ is working as intended for GRIN.

You just need to know, when selling GRIN on BisQ, you are required to deposit a security percentage of the amount in GRIN you want to sell in BTC.

@mcm-mike

BisQ is working as intended for GRIN.

There have been 2 trades in 2022 so far.

1 in January
1 in February

I was hoping that the market for Grin would be more active.

Currently there are zero offers to buy or sell Grin.

I’d like to buy some Grin. Can someone (multiple people?) put up some offers on Bisq? I’d rather use that than TradeOgre. I’m pretty sure both support slatepacks right? So it would be a very similar experience, no?

Or wait, do I put up buy offers first? I can try that
