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](https://forum.grin.mw/t/bisq-exchange-dao-vote-on-supporting-grin-again/9352):
>
> 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:

> <https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/350>
>
> \> \_This is a Bisq Network proposal. Please familiarize yourself with the \[submis…sion and review process\](https://bisq.wiki/Proposals).\_
> 
> Grin has been used in Bisq from the day when it started but had been deactivated due technical problems and the missing tool for verify the transaction (similar to Monero tx key tool).
> 
> Those problems have been fixed in the meantime and the tools are available since long.
> The Grin community has reached out several times requesting Bisq to re-enable it again. Due lack of dev resources on Bisq side that has not been taken care of. 
> Now there is another approach to resolve that old hanging issue.
> Here is the actual discussions about it:
> https://github.com/bisq-network/growth/issues/205
> 
> There has been brought up the point that Bisq had stopped adding Altcoins and it requires a DAO vote to make an exception from that. It is a unclear situation here as Grin was already added, so its not a new listing but to avoid wasting time about that ambiguity I propose here to re-activation of Grin and the get required work done as defined here: https://github.com/bisq-network/growth/issues/205#issuecomment-962480146
> 
> If you support that proposal please upvote the DAO proposal, otherwise downvote it.

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

Pazza

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:

> <https://github.com/grincc/agenda/issues/40>
>
> Solicit suggestions for agenda items for the first Governence meeting to be held… on Tuesday March 1 @ 15:00 UTC in grincoin#general channel on \[Keybase\](https://keybase.io/team/grincoin#general). Please comment to provide topics or suggestions.
> (Meeting can be followed on @keybase-ro channel - GRIN community \[discord server\]( https://discord.gg/5p4vCQY9km) via GRIN discord bridge).
> \## Proposed Agenda
> \- Provide more exposure to Bisq and other exchanges
> \- Overview on Grin CC github page and web site
> \- Bounties for training videos on Bisq and Tradeogre 
> \- Request for funding Groundskeeper @jankie / Mar-May 2022 (https://forum.grin.mw/t/request-for-funding-groundskeeper-jankie-mar-may-2022/9623)

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.

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.

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](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.

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…

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](https://bisq.network/downloads/)

You can also access support via Bisq channel in Matrix [Matrix bisq.chat - Bisq Wiki](https://bisq.wiki/Matrix_bisq.chat)

BisQ is working as intended for GRIN.

![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/grin/original/2X/f/fa4d9e711e3d308361853378a2dd9b43bead27a2.png)

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.

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
