Agenda

You'll find the general agenda of our growth calls here: https://github.com/bisq-network/growth/blob/master/docs/growth-meeting.md

As decided on our first growth call (6th of Dec '17) we will focus all our efforts for the next two months on increasing liquidity on the Bisq network.

Before we can grow the number of overall traders on the Bisq network, we first need to make sure that we have plenty of liquidity available in major trading pairs, esp. EUR and USD.

This means that anyone who considers themselves a potential 'market maker' or 'liquidity provider' is especially welcome on this call, to help us brainstorm ways to make Bisq an attractive place to be for you. We already have a number of ideas, and are looking to get your feedback.

Note that while we're happy to have pro and semi-pro traders serve as liquidity providers, we're also looking for anyone who simply has a need to sell BTC on a regular basis, e.g. for basic cash flow purposes.

This week will be about:

• Set dates for USD Liquidity week
• Set rewards for participation
• Define reward criteria (maintaining 1 sell and 1 buy order in USD during the week)
• Define actions to promote USD Liquidity week

Feel free to add any remarks below or points you want to discuss on this weeks growth call!

@Francewhoa Great that you're joining the call this week! As most of the participants are watching the live stream, we could try out a short introduction round for everyone who is joining the Google Hangout this week.

#36

[Francewhoa]

Good morning @flix1 and @ripcurlx :) This is to let you know that something unexpected showed up. So I'm no longer available to join this morning.

I look forward to future contributions when I'll be available though :) Enjoy the call.

I think an important factor for US trading is to find more payment methods and/or to add more supported banks to Zelle (need investigation). Seems Square is a good candidate to get added.
