Buying BSQ should be simple AF. The benefit for the DAO should be pretty clear, i.e. increased demand (by lowering barriers of entry for new comers).

1. After digging into "Account -> Altcoin Accounts" and past all the shitcoins, manage to get "BSQ" buried amongst the masses [Star it at top?]. 
2. 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. 
3. BSQ address - must enter this... how? Where do I get this from? No idea. Why can't I generate it right from that screen? Why is there no easy reference to where that address is e.g. "(i) BSQ address is located in "DAO -> BSQ Wallet". I gather I am just copying the "your BSQ receive address"? Why not auto-generate that as it is there, automatically in new account creation? If I make a non-instant BSQ account, that address has to be different? No idea. Not clear at all. 
4. 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. Possibly another chosen fiat column to aide this? Or a BSQ/EUR , BSQ/USD , BSQ/AUD price assistance? Or user has default currency of choice in their program, and hovering over BTC price shows local currency conversion? 

I will stop here, but have ranted before about the purchasing process... which is just as issue prone. 

- No clear indication of what explorer and how to validate if funds have been sent.
- I and others have issues about nothing showing up, for quite some time after trade is done. Had to delete SPV file and resync. If this is fairly standard either needs to be fixed, or have a "(i) sometimes issue where funds are not shown in BSQ wallet, please "resync SPV chain (settings -> Network Info) if you have any issues before contacting #support in Keybase"

Feel free to add to the BSQ buying process critique, or I may if I go through it again. Wasn't intuitive or easy at all for a new comer.
