[bisq-network/bisq] Buying/selling grin not possible through bisq? (#2261)

Grin was added to bisq in https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/2217 but as far as I can tell it's not possible to (reliably, or maybe not at all) buy/sell grin through bisq for two reasons:

 1. grin cannot be transferred without off-chain interaction between accounts in question (see e.g. https://blog.blockcypher.com/mining-grin-on-grinmint-how-to-request-payouts-1593835181eb). Easiest way with bisq seems to be that buyer of grin uses ip address as their grin address in bisq so that seller can send grin by connecting grin wallet/node directly to buyer's wallet/node. This feels awkward and might also be security issue since everything else in bisq runs over tor.
 2. currently it's not possible to prove that grin transfer has taken place: https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin/issues/2336

Was grin added prematurely to bisq?
