Agenda

You'll find the general agenda of our growth calls here: https://github.com/bisq-network/growth/blob/master/docs/growth-meeting.md

As decided on our first growth call (6th of Dec '17) we will focus all our efforts for the next couple of months on increasing liquidity on the Bisq network.

Before we can grow the number of overall traders on the Bisq network, we first need to make sure that we have plenty of liquidity available in major trading pairs, esp. EUR and USD.

This means that anyone who considers themselves a potential 'market maker' or 'liquidity provider' is especially welcome on this call, to help us brainstorm ways to make Bisq an attractive place to be for you. We already have a number of ideas, and are looking to get your feedback.

Note that while we're happy to have pro and semi-pro traders serve as liquidity providers, we're also looking for anyone who simply has a need to sell BTC on a regular basis, e.g. for basic cash flow purposes.

This week will be about:

• market update
• highlight GRIN (up to 17 offers as I write this, with 3 of those offers to buy it)
• note on bisq growth in india (recently, indian banks threatened to close bank accounts of customers - - suspected to be involved with bitcoin)
• testing DAO (not specifically growth, I know, but I want to signal this is a high priority)

Feel free to add any remarks below or points you want to discuss on this weeks growth call!

@m52go Great topics! I am not sure if @ripcurlx will be back home with good internet (was at his parents place with poor internet connection). Could you take the lead for that growth call? Do you know how to set up a Hangout live stream in our Youtube channel?

I wanted to discuss also the new trade protocol, but maybe better move that to next week as it would get too much.

@ManfredKarrer yup, he actually asked me a few days ago. I'll lead the call today. I haven't done a livestream on Google before but will set up early to make sure everything is ready to go.
