Bisq regulatory issues #341

Closed daveblack1 closed 3 years ago

This is a Bisq Network proposal. Please familiarize yourself with the submission and review process. The US is on the verge of passing regulatory requirements that will effectively ban cryptocurrency software development: https://www.coindesk.cc/coinbase-warns-infrastructure-bill-s-crypto-provisions-could-impact-20-of-us-population-39813.html GitHub is owned my M S. Bisq would be in danger of being regulated out of existence. Should the team consider moving development to a non-US, crypo-friendly development host?

Here are a few options:

  1. Gogs - self-hosted development platform. Ensures development can continue in any country.
  2. BitBucket - hosted in Australia. However, Australia is launching their own CBDC, which will likely become unfriendly to decentralized cryptocurrencies as they may follow the US's lead.
  3. More alternatives: https://www.guru99.com/github-alternative.html
