I really doubt Bisq is coming to Umbrel without some serious resource requirements optimization.

reply

Is Bisq working the same way as RoboSats ?

reply

It's similar in that it's a P2P exchange, but quite different otherwise. The important differences imo: for Robosats you don't have to download anything special and you trade Bitcoin via lightning only.

reply

What about this photo suggests it's coming to Umbrel? Does bisq not run as a web app normally?

reply

As far as I know it doesn't. But it has been in the pipe for a few months now as part of Bisq2, with one of the goals being to enable Umbrel (and alike) integration. See https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq2/discussions/350

No, Bisq is a desktop application. See https://bisq.wiki/Introduction

Bisq is a cross-platform desktop application that allows anyone to buy and sell bitcoin in exchange for national currencies or other cryptocurrencies.

Cool, so as Fanis reports, they are producing a web app!

So just plainly guessing based on the screenshot - is that some solution that deploys JavaFX as web app and that's how that could be inlined in Umbrel?

reply

Yes. For now. The true web interface takes longer to develop and cannot catch up with on-going development

reply

That'd be awesome! I hope they go for an api-first design in a robust and light backend so that it doesn't become a huge resource hog

reply

I believe API-first is a big priority for bisq2

reply

I wish Bisq had a web version, it would be much easier to use and could be used anywhere

I'm using robosats but I will definitely check out bisq. Hopefully the user experience will be the same if not better.

reply

Bisq's ux is worse but imo its architecture is better. It's almost always noncustodial, unlike robosats which is always custodial, and bisq is also harder to shut down because there's no one running a centralized backend. Robosats could be shut down by arresting the sole operator.

reply

This is awesome! Already running robosats on mine.

reply

So this is a real web app? Pretty cool. I've used to run a linuxserver/webtop[0] docker image with Bisq on it to have a headless Bisq experience over the browser.

It is running over something like webtop.
