In addition to this video, we'd like to write a guide that captures this same use case. The two can be used together, of course, and it would be good if those involved (@leomcy, @flix1, @francewhoa) collaborate on them, or at the very least are aware of what the others are doing. See https://github.com/bisq-network/docs/issues/21#issuecomment-353301350.
@flix1 and @leomcy, please make sure to update this issue with a comment when you're looking for review. Chatting in the #youtube
Slack channel is all good, but for "official" status updates about work (and especially for requests to review), please favor adding a comment to whatever the relevant GitHub issue is. Comments here in GitHub Issues are written through to the #youtube
channel anyway, so you get the best of both worlds that way. Thanks!
@leomcy just published this draft of the video (link will expire in 7 days). Here is my feedback:
Thanks, Leo!
Note that I've uploaded the draft video to our new YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFH5SztL5cYOYcHji9pzV9p5bFbDpEs5q
This "drafts" playlist and the videos within it are all "unlisted", meaning that they're only visible to people with the links. This approach should make it as easy as possible to share and collaborate on works in progress like this one.
From the Slack conversation at https://bisq.slack.com/archives/C8GR3TFH7/p1515776644000795:
Thanks, @leomcy. The new draft you sent me is here: https://youtu.be/jVd6EPFqDbM
My feedback:
Funds->Send funds
tab. You can show users that tab, click on the address that just received the bitcoin and show them the controls below for sending it to another address.Also, @leomcy, could you accept the invitation to join our GitHub organization? You can do this at https://github.com/bisq-network, where you should see a link at the top of the page to accept my invitation to join.
-Item 2 is not critical. Leave as is. Better to publish today something that is less than perfect than waste more time.
-There's too much to talk about for Item 5, if we want to keep this tutorial under 5 minutes we should leave the explanation for another video.
-Item 3 can be solved in 10 seconds and definitely deserves a mention.
I'm fine with the above. Thanks, @flix1.
@leomcy's latest draft is up at https://youtu.be/-o9CKiivyIc.
There is one unfortunate moment at around 4:20 where the "payment started" button doesn't work and Bisq asks the user to "send confirmation again". Would be good to cut that out of the video, but it's not critical.
@bisq-network/contributors, please have a look at the draft linked above, and once I've got a couple ACKs, I'll make the video public and announce it via Twitter.
Thanks, all.
+1, one note though, when creating your account you don't select the country currencies, you just select which countries you want to trade with.
+1.
Some improvements still possible. But I would rather have a new video published every week than too much attention to detail.
I say ACK.
Closing as complete. Thanks, @leomcy!

Leo, regarding getting compensated in $BSQ, please follow the instructions at https://github.com/bisq-network/docs/blob/master/dao/phase-zero.adoc#submit-a-compensation-request.
I've just watched this video on youtube and thought I could share my impressions:
I really like this approach where guy is drawing stuff on paper to describe stuff that cannot be easily presented using screencast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpCWCm4KbiM . It could be used for transitions between scenes where presenter "takes the order" and then goes to bank to make the transfer, then money traveling to bank account of seller, and seller accepting the trade.
Thanks for the feedback, @blabno! Good feedback for future videos. /cc @flix1, @leomcy.
@cbeams, @flix1, @leomcy :) About this awesome video at https://youtu.be/jVd6EPFqDbM I love it. Very useful for newcomers. I actually learned a few things myself. Thanks :)
This is my feedback and proposals for future videos. Such as #3, #5, #6, #7.
Unlisted video. This is a good idea. Make it easier to collaborate. While reducing risk of publishing a video too early.
High resolution 1080p60. It's easy to read. I could easily view all details. For users with lower bandwidth they can always change their setting to stream a lower resolution. But streaming a higher resolution would not be possible.
Short. Usually for newcomers short videos are more attractive. Also makes it easier to find topic of interest. I mean this video focus on one topic. Which is how to buy coins.
Steps by steps. This format is usually the most popular for newcomers. They need to know how to do x, y, z. In this case how to buy coins.
Redact sensitive info. Wise move to hide from the video the author's private account information. Otherwise there is a risk of abuse by people with immature behaviors.
Congratulation. Good idea to close the video by saying "Congratulation". It's lots of work for newcomers to go through the initial learning curve with Bisq. This Congratulation acknowledge their efforts, grow their self-confidence, and increase their change of learning more about Bisq and using it.
Say forward. Say when there is a forward in time. For example at 3m11s at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVd6EPFqDbM&feature=youtu.be&t=3m11s The video was forwared roughly 30 minutes into the future. Before the forward I propose to say something like this: "I'll now forward this video roughly 30 minutes until after the 'The transaction is accepted by the blockchain' ". For users familiar with Bisq it's obvious the the video was forward 30m. But for newcomers it's not. In other words, if they see in the video a 3 seconds delay before the transaction is accepted they will expect that. Thus the need to say both that it's 30 minutes and it's a forward.
Black redact. Instead of white. I'm referring to this section at 3m21s at https://youtu.be/jVd6EPFqDbM?t=3m21s In this context a redaction in white is risky to create confusion for newcomers. Again for users familiar with Bisq it's obvious which section(s) were masked. But for newcomers it's not. In other words, masking using white on white or pale background is harder to understand. Also in this context white is risky to be misinterpreted as a bug. Masking in black would resolve this challenge. In addition to this, black is the most common masking color.
Say "Confirmation" processing. From 3m43s to 4m00s at https://youtu.be/jVd6EPFqDbM?t=3m43s There is a 17 seconds of silence and little or no visual action, during that silence I propose to say something like "I click on 'Yes, I have started the payment. This visual throbber at the bottom of the screen is a confirmation that the confirmation is processing. Bisq usually needs between 10 and 30 seconds to complete. For your convenience, I'll now forward the video to the next step."
Remove the visual glitch. Which is at 3m56s at https://youtu.be/jVd6EPFqDbM?t=3m56s User familiar with Bisq know that it's not a glitch, it's masking in white. But newcomers might be confuse by this flashing white square. How about either remove the white square before the next page is display, or a black square?
Introduce the "Trade process". This might be very useful for newcomers. I'm referring to the section at https://youtu.be/jVd6EPFqDbM?t=3m29s On the bottom left side of the screen. How about saying "This trade progress section shows the progress so far. Your action successfully done, your present action, and your remaining action(s)."
This task represents the first of the "how to" videos we'd like to produce based on the ideas in bisq-network/growth#4.
@flix1 will manage the production of this first video, in collaboration with @leomcy. Discussion is ongoing in the #youtube Slack channel now, and specific requirements and plans can be posted here to this issue as they are sorted out.
