<p>One solution for the problem that the offer maker need to be online could be that we offer a new feature with a new type of offer.<br>
This new type - lets call it "trade intent" - would not have BTC reserved and a taker cannot take it directly. It would only give an option that an interested taker can contact the maker and then the maker receives a message and has to go online to convert his intent into a real offer. Then the taker receives a message so that he can browse that offer and can take it.<br>
So there would be an out-of-system notification method required which helps to bring both parties online at the same time.</p>
<p>Here of course is the challenge which notification system we can use which does not require a running Bisq app. It could be simply email or any messenger but that comes with privacy and security (phishing) risks and it will not integrate well with the process.<br>
Better would be a proxy system where the messages are routed over our P2P network and utilize the Bisq mobile app. There though we have atm only the solution where your Bisq app need to be online, but there are ideas/discussions to extend that model to support offline mode.<br>
Unfortunately there is no perfect trust-minimized way to achieve that, but at least it might be useful for those who prefer convenience and it would extend the reach of Bisq to such users and with that increase liquidity.</p>
<p>Just wanted to push that idea out for further discussion and conceptual refinement if it is considered worth to go further.</p>
