[bisq-network/proposals] How long does it take users to go from running bisq to first trade? (#320)

[Mawueli Kofi Adzoe]

i think at a minimum you would need some kind of unique id on the client that feeds data to some kind of a central server to aggregate the data...i'm not sure this "phone-home" kind of behavior is a direction the project would want to take. it deviates from the concept of a proper privacy-first peer-to-peer network.

That thinking is wrong. Bisq already shares deanonymised data with its peers over the Tor p2p network. Each peer keeps the data. This leads to a sort of distributed analytics database. No central server or phone home involved. This same data can be exported to JSON on any of the peers for display on the bisq website(centralised service). Reference: https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/546. The trades view already displays all transactions that have gone on in the bisq network. Measuring time from 0-60 would be just as trivial. Note when client first runs bisq, then when they do their first trade broadcast that dataset(time0, time60). Nobody needs any identifying information. All everybody knows is someone took x minutes to get to their first transaction.
