[bisq-network/bisq] New Payment Methods proposed for Bisq (Please comment on the ones you would like added) (#5287)

[pazza]

Hi @m52go

Thanks for the feedback. I would like to make the process as quick as possible.

I proposed the [Proposed payment method addition process and estimated timelines #206](https://github.com/bisq-network/growth/issues/206) here and am keen to meet the proposed dates for all payment methods.

The idea of the 60 day window is as follows:

- Give users opportunity to feedback about a particular payment method (The reality is though that this might be too long. Most activity occurs immediately after posting)
- Giving myself enough time to review the payment methods and recommend them to be added / not added to Bisq. I would like to review all payment methods this cycle to make sure I do not recommend anything that might not be a good fit for Bisq. There are ~28 to review so this takes a bit of time.

The 60 day is also followed by another cycle of 30 days to then give the arbitrators / mediators the time to respond to any proposed additions. I think this is an important step as there was some different opinions in the past about the feasibility of mediation for certain payment methods.

Once the above is complete I would also like to batch the payments for addition according to region / country. I think this will make quicker in terms of communication with devs and also easier to market the new payment methods to a particular user group (fiat currency).

I think the process I have chosen to follow means that things will progress more slowly initially but the end result will be more relevant payment methods are added quicker and hopefully uptake will be improved.

For example I know you are keen to add UPI, as am I, but I would like to batch together multiple payment methods. For example see recent discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinIndia/comments/mogpj0/any_bisq_users_from_india_here_follow_up/
