# Cycle 31 Report

I have not requested any compensation for this role since cycle 25 (6 months ago). This was primary as a result of me not wanting to request any more compensation until the payment methods I had proposed went online.

In the last 6 months I have worked with @jmacxx to get 22 of the proposed payment methods online. 

Most of the work was done by @jmacxx, the work I did for the inclusion of the payment methods consisted of:

- Writing a wiki page for each new payment method all accessible from the [payment methods wiki](https://bisq.wiki/Payment_methods)
- Liaising with @jmacxx regarding any questions / clarifications about the proposed payment methods
- Writing the required Bisq software strings payment method information (found at the bottom of each payment method github issue. For example: https://github.com/bisq-network/growth/issues/231#issuecomment-925515151
- Checking the payment methods when added and advising any changes needed

## Reflections

I am pleased that 22 payment methods have been added since I took on this role. I would now like to make sure as many of the  new payment methods can become established on Bisq. They have all been chosen as they have the potential to be good for users to trade with.

Next cycle I will create and publish a plan for moving forward with the payment role. 


## Other things I would like to do:

**Improve the UI of the National Currency Account screen**

![National currency account screen](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/66367547/147315391-19bfccd9-1cd9-4ab8-8534-be7350fc8451.PNG)

- It is not very user friendly.
- There is no option to filter by currency
- There are now too many options (>40), users should not need to be familiar with them all to choose the ones for them

**Improve the UI of the Currency selector in options**

![National currency account screen](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/66367547/147315568-1e7a8ee4-3ab2-4ba5-80a9-bf9869f649c2.PNG)

I would really like to make all currencies enabled by default. Otherwise otherwise users in less common currency markets might mistakenly think Bisq is not available for them.


If anyone has any comments or suggestions please feel free to share.
