I agree that Bisq should make buying BSQ simple.
I think it is easy to buy BSQ once you know what to do but it does take a little time to figure out. This could be made easier. There is a wiki that has been made that is helpful: https://bisq.wiki/Buy_BSQ
I think it would be good to take into consideration how to onboard new users to Bisq in the client on the [new UI design](https://github.com/bisq-network/projects/issues/47).
> After digging into "Account -> Altcoin Accounts" and past all the shitcoins, manage to get "BSQ" buried amongst the masses [Star it at top?].
Yes, I agree BSQ should be given prominence.
> Not entirely clear the effects of "trade instant (within 1 hour with this altcoin effects)" being selected changes. No "(i)" with further info. No link to wiki.
Agree, there is some mention here: https://bisq.wiki/Payment_methods#Altcoin_payment_methods but it could be expanded.
> BSQ address - must enter this... how?
I agree with the suggestion of auto generating an address if this is possible.
I am also aware that the BSQ address someone enters when creating there account will then be used for all their BSQ trades. I think this is not best practice. Changing the address every trade is not possible if you have multiple offers, and even impractical if you do one at a time. It would be good to know if this is something that can be changed. It might be I am not doing it correctly though!
> The BTC to BSQ is rather confusing initially, in that requires a conversion still to some fiat to get a grasp of what is being traded. No sats standard yet.
Yes, it is a little confusing but I think for altcoins comparing to a price in BTC is the standard. I look at the DAO dashboard to get an idea of the price in BSQ in dollars. There was discussion about including other prices, EUR was suggested, but this was discounted. I think USD comparisons are the standard.
> No clear indication of what explorer and how to validate if funds have been sent.
Agreed, I think a wiki would be useful. I have just learnt a little as I have gone along. Recently I noticed when clicking on BSQ transactions IDs it was opening up a BTC explorer. I know BSQ is fundamentally BTC but think that the BSQ explorers should be standard.
