<p>Bisq has many places which strike a balance between privacy and user convenience.</p>
<p>However, some users might be ready to sacrifice one for the other, while not knowing exactly how to "configure" Bisq for that.</p>
<p>Therefore, Bisq could offer the users a choice about how they want to run Bisq / what defaults do they want Bisq to present them with.</p>
<p>A few examples:</p>
<table role="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th align="left"></th>
<th align="left">Maximize Privacy mode</th>
<th align="left">Maximize Convenience mode</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="left">Bitcoin nodes</td>
<td align="left">Bisq would only connect to a local or a custom node</td>
<td align="left">Bisq would behave as now, i.e. connect to the Bisq-provided nodes</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left">Connection to Bitcoin nodes</td>
<td align="left">only connect to Bitcoin nodes via Tor</td>
<td align="left">connect to Bitcoin nodes in cleartext (faster startup and shutdown times)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left">Funding a trade</td>
<td align="left">only offer the option to "Fund from External Wallet"</td>
<td align="left">only offer the option to "Fund from Bisq Wallet"</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left">Complete a trade</td>
<td align="left">only offer the option to " Retrieve to External Wallet"</td>
<td align="left">only offer the option to "Keep in Bisq Wallet"</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>These could be "defaults", which are set either way depending on the chosen mode -- but could be changed individually by the user under Settings as well.</p>
