> Bisq is complex software that many new users find confusing. Even users who have been using Bisq for a while are often unaware of certain features and tips to make the experience better. New features and updates can be communicated better.
> 
> Perhaps a twice-per-month interactive demo-style event where such features and tips are demonstrated could help with both: make new users more comfortable with the interface and educate all users on the full capabilities of Bisq, tips on how to how to use it better, etc.

Is there a better way to display new features/updates with the pop-up notification for those on old versions?

I think a walk-through would be helpful... things to consider at each stage. The FAQ's that constantly pop up should help provide a guide of things to cover. 

- e.g. taking an offer, noticing the sats v/byte at the bottom and what that means. Tangentially related: discussion on the memepool and how to understand what that effects. Often I would take offers and be confused when it hadn't gotten into a first block in an hour or so, and thought something was wrong. Setting proper expectations. 
- Payment methods and adding accounts, understanding not to just look at your local market for offers - i.e. USD. 
- Highlighting the BEST payment methods (universal liquidity - Revolut, Transferwise etc), consider adding. 
- How to buy BSQ - in current framework. 
- Some mentions of best practices, as per Bisq Community forum
- How to get involved in thriving community (Keybase, various channels, telegram, Github etc.)
- If there were stats on the amount of 'fraud' - that appease peoples fears and unease, that'd be cool to know. 
- What happens if something goes wrong? (i.e. bug? -> #support, can discuss with trading partner and try resolve, if not agent/mediator) etc. 

Short questions and answers in a way, that can be edited and excerpted from a longer session.
