| Atomic BSQ trading | dev | ~8000 | https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/4414 | Working on making BSQ trades atomic. One transaction to send BTC to buyer and BSQ to seller, removing the need for mediators and refund agent. After the changes to trade protocol I had some discussions with the chimp and I now plan on changing the whole take offer procedure as it's currently not possible to avoid the deposit requirement. That would skip many steps, simplify the atomic process and avoid further unnecessary entanglement. BSQ used in atomic txs will not be possible to spend until confirmed since the source is mixed. |
