Unpopular opinion, but here it goes: UX is the most important problem we need to solve for Bitcoin Privacy. We can hate on KYC exchanges all we want, but they've got UX nailed down. We cannot expect privacy to become the norm when I have to take an hour out of my day to make a P2P trade. Now that CASPs will start delisting privacy assets like Monero and blocking coinjoined btc with the EU's new AMLR, we're being stripped of using regulated exchanges even semi-privately. This makes P2P exchanges like @bisq_network even more important, but its of no use to regular users when you need an introductory course in computer science before understanding what's going on in the app. Privacy will only become the norm when we make it usable for everybody. If you're a UX designer, copywriter, or in any other way have expertise in UX design, please consider contributing BISQ: github.com/bisq-network/bisq ℹ️ If you're not a developer, contributing to GitHub projects can be scary. It really doesn't have to be. Everybody starts somewhere, and no one is going to chop your head off because you don't know something. Here's how to get started: If you find a UX issue in the BISQ app that could be improved, start by opening an issue in the BISQ github repository. Give it a clear title describing the problem you want to solve. Add screenshots or videos to your issue showing what the problem is. If you can, add a proposal for a potential solution. Bonus points if you can add wireframes, layouts or clickdummy documentation. For reference, see @uxerik_'s work on eNuts: github.com/cashubtc/eNuts/is… In open source projects, questions are your friends. In your issue, ask where you could find the corresponding code for your problem. You can also ask what assets would be needed to implement your proposal if you don't know how to code yourself. Remember that people are nice and generally happy about new contributors, even if you're a beginner. If you have any questions on contributing to open source projects as a non-coder, feel free to reach out anytime. My DMs are open.
