[bisq-network/proposals] Bisq Monero Wallet (#110)

[erciccione]

I agree with @niyid. Bisq should have as priority to have an integrated Monero wallet. They are right when they say that software should be made to please the market. The vast majority of the people on Bisq trade mostly Monero, but right now they have to pass through BTC, which is really bad UX and should be fixed as soon as possible, an integrated Monero wallet is the long term solution. 

> so it can benefit all alt-coins and not just Monero

@wiz don't think we should care too much about other coins when the vast majority of the people trade Monero and right now they don't have a clean way to echange it. The approach: "let's make something simpler that everybody can use", doesn't really fit here IMO, especially when we have a better solution ready.

I find a bit discouraging that a ready PR is being pushed away because complex and extensive to review, especially when has been worked on for quite some time. The fact that another extensive PR has been opened for two years without reviews, sounds more like a big problem to me and shouldn't be used as a referral of the generic workflow.
 
Let's keep in mind that if another decentralized exchange with a better Monero integration appears, it's safe to assume XMR trader would move there, with the result of Bisq losing *~97% of its users*. Would be a catastrophe and could potentially kill Bisq. Making trades for XMR users as smooth as possible should be a priority.

In short, my opinion is: **Let's brake this integration in chunks easier to review and let's ask monero devs to help with the reviews (i could set a bounty for this), but let's have a Monero wallet integrated into bisq, because it is a priority and worth the added complexity.**
