@RiccardoMasutti Could you provide some background why a font change caused so much effort (3750 BSQ)? I am not familiar with the webpage code but if such would be done for the Java app it would be a realtive small task.

Please stay up to date with upcoming discussions/decisions how we bring the expense/revenue balance back on track. We have to check all expenses for their value regarding trade volume growth. Would appreciate your input and contribution in the discussions there....

Hi chimp1984, thanks for your interest.
I'm actively following compensation balance thread and I agree with you that in the previous cycles a lot of of people took advantage of the DAO, demanding more than would have been fair.
This must be changed and all the stakeholders should vote more carefully.
Although it is only my second cycle, I realized that it is more important today than ever.

Regarding my request, as you can see, PR 324 is the one where I asked for the most. That's because I really worked hard on it and spent lot of hours to analyze privacy leaks in the website, to analyze anonymized user sessions via Matomo (device, browsers, etc.) to make sure that this change does not detract from support for our users, apply and test the modified source over different browsers.

Also, I'm not going to request a single BSQ for the same changes in the docs repo.

Ps: most of my PRs are growth-oriented, as you can check from this Cycle and Cycle 8. My actual focus is on Search Engine Optimization.

Also, regarding on growth and marketing, On February 4 I'm going to talk about Bisq at 'Le Fonti' which is the most followed economics, finance, law, and infotainment 24/7 live streaming TV in Italy.
https://www.lefonti.com/
https://www.lefonti.tv/

Our live streaming broadcasting is viewed by over 1 million online visitors, including business leaders, managers and investors, from over 125 countries worldwide.

@RiccardoMasutti can you explain why you deleted the contents of this compensation request?

Probably by mistake. Let me fix it

[m52go]

@RiccardoMasutti can you elaborate? I don't understand. GitHub comments don't just disappear by mistake.

Fixed.

I've been asking you about this for 3 weeks now, in private chat, and it was only when I put it on the public record 1 week ago that you felt the need to respond.

Since you've still given no explanation, after repeated request for one, I'm forced to think that you purposely deleted this request in a futile attempt to hide your history of obscenely high compensation requests in order to increase the chances that your future requests are approved.

And then you tried to cover it up by being vague and unresponsive...

You've compromised your integrity in my eyes and I have no interest in working with you any further.

Any outstanding and future contributions from you that I control will be rejected with a link to this thread.

Hi Steve, I think you misunderstood. I didn't purposely delete any compensation request and I still don't understand how it happened.
I replied to your private messages about it but I had time to fix it only today.

Sorry, I'm not convinced, and I have no interest in losing any more time going back and forth about this.
