Recently, some Monero traders were complaining the XMR/BTC price on the Bisq Price Index was off from most exchanges. Indeed, it seems HitBTC is trading at a -10% divergence for some reason, I guess they have low liquidity or some other reason, but after taking a look we are currently using HitBTC for the following assets:

  • AEON - only 2 trades ever, last traded March 2019
  • EMC - never traded
  • GRIN - looks like only fake trades, last traded Jan 2019
  • PART - only 7 trades ever, last traded August 2020
  • XRC - last traded December 2019
  • XMR - obviously very important for Bisq

So I feel it's worth it to drop HitBTC as a data provider from Bisq to
make the Monero traders happy and make the Monero price more accurate.

@wiz You forgot to remove the test cases as well. See Travis results.

I guess that's what I get for building with ./gradlew build -x test all the time 😂
