The first improvement they should work on is with the software itself, instead to work on features and alike.
I don't know about you guys but to me, the software is really hard to use. I don't mean how to use it because a kid can do it. But it takes all the memory of my OS. Up to the point, I can not do anything else, not even keep a browser open. I often need to shut down the machine or software and try again and again...
When I have a transaction to confirm, if I need to do it before tonight, better I start to try early in the morning! I can not stay behind my screen all day long! I know, my specs are not huge (4+2 GB ram) but I believe it should be far enough. No idea what others use, I started to wonder if it could be better to run a VPS (considering you manage the security of the server efficiently or move your coins once finished)
I don't know what to say. Perhaps making a light version or something around. In a release not long ago, it was nicely improved but then in the next version, the problems start again. (usually the DAO synchronization).
Wait what, for real? One of the computers I use is an old laptop, almost 10 years old. It was a decent, up-to-date entry level machine back then, and it struggles with video calls in the browser these days, but Bisq runs without a hitch.
I'm sure it could run better if it wasn't written in Java, but I've been using it on low-level hardware for years, always going smooth (with a bit of patience, like anything else on these older machines).
On modern hardware, it's blazing fast once it finished startup (during which it needs to connect to both Bisq and Bitcoin peers).
I remember when I talked in PM with someone here, he told me he can't use it properly with less than 16gb RAM.
I don't know what to say either: my old laptop has 8GB of RAM and I'm running other stuff in parallel, while having Bisq open and waiting for an open offer to be accepted.
By the way, with the mobile application, you only receive notifications right? You can't do anything else (i.e. confirm a TX)
Yes, it's for notifications only.
