A new version of Bisq2 came out with some nice features, namely Lightning support and QR code scanning. But regarding the later...
The QR code scanning is a separate bundled Java app with a bunch of binary code. To be precise, there are 76 shared libraries which would have to be patchelf-ed to get QR code scanning to work on NixOS. Either that, or I'll have to run the webcam app in a container. Either way, that's still 76 libraries for which I'd have to identify dependencies, find their matching packages in Nixpkgs, and hope for the best. Not to mention the amount of churn I'd have to put my new-ish SSD through to build, build, and rebuild, until it works. I had plenty of difficulty getting QR code scanning to work on Sparrow, and that was child's play compared to what I'm looking at with Bisq2. About 4 years ago when I packaged Bisq1 I destroyed my SSD in the process, so I'm mindful about these things.
So, you know what I'm thinking...
I have no plans to fix Bisq2 QR code scanning. Sorry, but either it will remain broken or another brave soul can take a stab at it.

Next time I go shopping, I'm going to bring slips of paper in different denominations. That should work as payment, right?

I see that truth table, your beautiful handwriting, and what looks like matte. Yum!
I have no idea what you're making, but I know it will be awesome.

Bitcoin Lightning can be non-intuitive sometimes.
The author of Primal is npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr
I'd ask him about how to troubleshoot the situation.

Holy shit!
This is THE startup of 2024!

Yes! Let's do this!

OK, I have an initial Nix package of Bisq 2. I haven't gotten past the Tor initilization:

Perhaps it's a network issue on my side.
If you want to give it a go, run: nix run github:emmanuelrosa/erosanix#bisq2
If you have a 4K display, then you way want to use this:
$ nix shell github:emmanuelrosa/erosanix#bisq2
$ bisq2-hidpi
#nixos

Yes, you'll need to do that eventually.
Isn't it weird. though? Usually, a business needs to raise their prices even if they don't want to, and of course customers complain about it. But with Bitcoin, prices need to be lowered overtime, and there's no reason for anyone to complain :)
Bitcoin is such a weird animal.

Yes, Nost plebs are fucking based.

Regarding the software dependency hell, the Nix and Guix package managers address the issue. In short, all packages are the output of pure functions (in the functional programming sense, like Haskell) and therefore different versions of the same library can be installed at the same time without conflicts. You can have say libc version X, version Y, and even variants like version X'. Each application will use the correct version.
I use Nix.

I think that's perfectly fine. Besides, you can upgrade the M2 drive to 2 TB; It shouldn't cost much.
For your lightning node you'll also need a bitcoin core node. The blockchain is currently about 500GB un-pruned and without the transaction index. I'm not sure whether LND needs the transaction index. I know core lightning doesn't need it, but Eclair does. Even with 1 TB you'd still have enough room.

Have you checked the local computer shops for NUC-like hardware? If you import a computer you may have to pay taxes. That's what happened to me when I imported hardware into Thailand.

You can also create custom wrapper/decorator Nix functions to make packages behave differently. For example, I have a wrapper function which applies NVIDIA offload rendering. When I want a package to use offload rendering, I just wrap it in my configuration.nix.
