[bisq-network/bisq] Improve Transferwise account (#4931)

[pazza]

> * Add a button to the offer book next to currency and payment methods dropdowns: "Show all Transferwise offers"
>   This selectes show all in currency and TW in the method dropdown. A info icon with a tooltip gives background info 

This sounds good. Could this work for Revolut also for the same benefits?

>"With Transferwise one can send from nearly any currency and can receive funds with multiple currencies as well, so the currency selection does not make that much sense. The currency is mainly used for defining the trade price but Transferwise works as a global cross-currency payment processor")

Who are you referring to the currency selection not making sense for? Buyer, seller or both?  It might be helpful is you have a screen shot of how the implementation above would look.  

> * When the user selects a currency and then TW in the payment method dropdown we could show a popup with "dont show again" checkbox explaining that the currency selection has no relevance for buyers as they can send from any currency. By accepting the suggestion the currency selection switches to "show all", otherwise it stays to the currency the user selected. This is only at the BUY screen (showing sell offers). For the SELL screen (showing buy offers) the users is intending to sell BTC and receive fiat, so there the selection would make more sense to limit to the currencies he has enabled in his accounts. Here we could add a featuer to filter and show only those currencies (e.g. if I have EUR, SGD and CHF then my SELL screen shows offers with those currencies as only those I can receive). Maybe that could be combined with a general UI improvement to add a button for show only currencies supported in my account.

>From my perspective I would be less likely to buy a Kenyan Shilling offer at 3% above market rate then a EUR offer at 5% above market rate. I think the Kenyan Shilling offer would result in higher risks of AML / compliance checks. 

> * The popup after account creation will get better info and a link to the wiki. We should mention also the issue with primary accounts (only problemativ if linked accounts are set as primary) and that they become visible to any peer, which is a terrible privacy/security failure from TW side.

Agreed.

> * Add Full name to account

Not needed. One can have multiple names linked to Transferwise. Adding names would cause problems when name does not match. Eg 'John Smith' is shown as 'Smith, j' or 'John Richard Smith', 'Jane Smith' or ACME Corp. All of these could be linked to John Smith one email address on Transferwise (johnsmith at gmail.com). The primary payment account does NOT have to belong to the user.

> * Change currency selection to be only used for receiving funds and not have selected any by default. Add some link to the wiki so that users can set up their local account before they set up the Bisq account.

Good idea
