as discussed on keybase:

i think i would give it a go in cycle 11 but i would only claim the bounty if i can match the requirements at the end of the cycle.

regarding marketing efforts: in the beginning, i would prefer focussing on promoting bisq on IRL events, like bitcoin meetups and hands-on workshops. there is now a trend of digital nomads moving from thailand to vietnam, and i think this should be one of our target groups to get onboarded - and meetups are always great for that. i am running now a bitcoin meetup in da nang and will speak about bisq and organize a workshop as well.

right now i don't believe another social media campaign would do much impact in vietnam, because the vietnamese are known for spamming routinely all their social media channels shilling shitcoins and ICOs nonstop, so i would not go that route to promote bisq right now.
i may put out some regular tweets and retweet the more significant bisq news... but twitter storms? probably not :)

as a rough guide i would just follow the examples of CNY and JPY market-making efforts...

Excellent news @doitsu232 !

I absolutely recommend the meetup + workshop route. The personal touch makes a big difference.

My theory is that for Bisq it is much better to have 4-5 frequent and committed users at the begining, creating offers... and then build from there, than to have 100+ casual users who try it once and then give up.

our next bitcoin meetup in danang is tomorrow btw ;)
there is also a bigger conference coming up at the end of february in hanoi.

after all the obvious reasons to have a break for a while i'd like to get back to this activity soon.
some of the members of our bitcoin meetup group will attend an online meetup organized by @fabiok https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Copenhagen/events/270277632
after that we will test Bisq in a trading workshop, i expect about 3 to 4 traders to join us.
more updates will follow soon.

I can allot budget for this bounty in Cycle 14 or 15, which I assume shouldn't be a problem since it would be too late to claim this bounty for Cycle 13 anyway.

One thing I get the impression was missing in recent efforts like this was a stronger marketing/outreach effort to complement market making, so I'd like to see more details on such things going forward (not singling out you/VND—just a general observation).

Weekly reports that summarize trading activity and marketing efforts would be great.
