<p>The support category is (as always) the most active.</p>
<p>Noticeable posts on forum/github/slack :</p>
<ul>
<li>Still many posts about the scam beginning of may, but hopefully decreasing for the rest of the period.</li>
<li>Some demands (recurrent) about <strong>gift cards</strong> being included in payment methods</li>
<li>regular issues about users who didn't make a backup</li>
<li>regular issues about users using too low fees</li>
<li>Manfred's proposal for a new protocol with high deposit got regularly support</li>
<li>issues with DAO sync at launch</li>
<li>Randomly received BSQs -> <a href="https://bisq.community/t/randomly-received-26-06-bsq/7758" rel="nofollow">https://bisq.community/t/randomly-received-26-06-bsq/7758</a></li>
<li>bad experience with exchanges and tainted BTC (or something like) <a href="https://bisq.community/t/dirty-btc-coins-on-the-xmr-market/7798" rel="nofollow">https://bisq.community/t/dirty-btc-coins-on-the-xmr-market/7798</a></li>

</ul>
<p>As always, there is still a bunch of threads where, after asking his question, the initial poster never comes back.</p>
<p>Reading the forum/github/slack daily, the concerns about <strong>scalability</strong> remain the same as always. There is no improvement on this side (quite the opposite).<br>
It's not only a chicken and egg problem imo, but also a question of deadly embrace at work. Largely due to the doctrine about chargebacks, no new payment method has eg been added since months. It's a small erosion, but still an erosion.</p>
<p>My activity on the forum : <a href="https://bisq.community/u/Homard/activity" rel="nofollow">https://bisq.community/u/Homard/activity</a> (73 posts)<br>
I was absent (without internet) from 09/05 to 15/05.<br>
Reddit is regularly blocking access via the torbrowser, that's why I'm not present there.</p>
