[bisq-network/proposals] Monero Bisq User Research Project (Issue #349)

[UX-P]

Hi,

Please view my Week 3 update in the two links provided below:

Thanks @chimp1984 I agree, a lot of the confusion can be solved through being informed and educated about Bisq. 

Faq will definitely help.  I have listed a few topic ideas in this [competitor's report analysis](https://docs.google.com/document/d/19svHdhqickZAbuqa-cnKayYLuuchJwzLCzN646P-Jm4/edit?usp=sharing). 

>Bisq fees are high (not often seen though): Just show real trade fees and compare to other CEX/DEX. Make clear that total fee is trade fee+miner fee. Also mention BSQ for lower fees and make clear why BSQ is important to Bisq's mission. Make clear that security deposit is not part of the fees (some seem to confuse that).

Yes, also highlighting why it is important for the community to support DEXs, how these fees help in moving away from CEXs, and the longterm benefits.

> DAO is unnecessary: Show why the DAO is important for censorship resistence with links to existing docs

I have seen this. In the competitors analysis there is a 'word of the day' idea I hope interests Bisq

>  UI is slow: Same as above. Its not JavaFX, its because of complex code not optimized. Lots of headroom for improvement.

  What technological plans are there to improve the UI? particular the look and feel. Currently Bisq is designed for 'tech savvy' power users which seem to repel potential traders. 

>You need BTC to trade XMR

In keybase there is a 'buy-bitcoin' channel. Is there a way to perhaps provide a link on the UI for beginners? Maybe in a 'I don't have Bitcoin?'  section. Highlighting that these trades are with reputable Bisq users but all transactions are at the users own discretion.

Atomic cross chain swaps are a great solution to various pain points, a challenge a will be to make it user friendly and understandable to traders, but highly beneficial.  


Here is a [competitors table summary](https://github.com/UX-P/Monero-User-Research/blob/main/competition%20analyis.pdf).
