Bisq v2.1.6 release notes
https://m.primal.net/OeVL.png
⚠️ Security update
- To enhance security for buyers, sellers must have sufficient reputation to secure a trade for the specified amount. The required reputation score is determined using the following formula:
Reputation score = max. selling amount * 200
For a minimum trade amount of 6 USD, the required reputation score would be 1200, which can be achieved through any of the following methods:
• Burn 12 BSQ (approximately 25 USD).
• Lock 120 BSQ as a bond for approximately one year.
• Have a Bisq v1 signed account for at least 120 days.
• Have a Bisq v1 account age of at least 280 days.
BSQ can be purchased with Bisq 1.
For more details, visit the Bisq reputation system Wiki:
https://bisq.wiki/Reputation
* Since this release is a critical security update, the new version will be enforced shortly after its release to ensure the protection of all buyers.
✨ New features
- The new Profile Card comes with many features. Find the user profile details, trade terms, reputation, offers created and the public messages posted by clicking on the profile icon or profile name anywhere in the app.

- To improve on privacy, sensitive trade data will be automatically deleted after a certain period of time. This can be adjusted in Settings > Offer and trade.
- See trade details in the trade process window by clicking on the "Show details" button.
🔧 Improvements
- The create offer wizard has been consolidated into three steps to improve quickness and ease of use. You can choose the amount and price in the same screen and see the BTC conversion display.

Bisq v2.1.2 has been released, offering an improved reputation system, easier to follow chat rooms and more flexible offer book filtering.
https://m.primal.net/LfWM.png
Trades up to 25 USD no longer require sellers to have reputation, with higher amounts becoming available as sellers establish and increase their reputation scores.
This change makes it easier for new sellers to get started and should increase small trade liquidity.
https://m.primal.net/LfWV.png
The multiple, topic-specific chat rooms found in previous versions have now been consolidated into Chat and Support sections, with both public discussions and private chats being brought together under a single screen.
https://m.primal.net/LfWY.png
https://m.primal.net/LfWb.png
Offer listings can now be sorted and filtered more granularly by parameters including price, payment method and on-chain (BTC) vs. off-chain (LN⚡️) settlement. Try shift-clicking on column headings to set secondary sort conditions.
