If you have UX feedback for Bisq I'd open an issue on the Bisq repo or discuss it with the GUI developers on Bisq. Asking whether "Bitcoiners" want Bitcoin to stay obscure is like asking whether Americans want to stay Democratic or Republican. I'm sure there are some people who want Bitcoin to stay obscure but I'm pretty sure Bisq wants to onboard as many users as possible and continuously improve the UX as long as it doesn't negatively impact security, privacy.

I will say that I have been working on making my own seqwit wallet. And there is no official documentation. Ultimately I had to examine the source code and ask questions here. If you contrast that to other crypto's like etherium, then yes it feels like the community wants to stay obscure.

@noone392: We're a bit off-topic here, and it might be better to create another topic for that, but I assume you have seen the corresponding BIPs?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-06-29)

I started up Bisq today. It had a pop-up with elaborate instructions on how to "upgrade Tor v2 addresses to v3". This involved shutting down Bisq, deleting a dir and then starting it back up again.

Why not simply do it automatically in Bisq, without the user ever having to know about it?
