Bisq2 v2.1.2: Optimized Reputation System & Chat Consolidation

• "Bisq v2.1.2 has been released, offering an improved reputation system, easier to follow chat rooms and more flexible offer book filtering," announced the project.
• Trades up to $25 no longer require seller reputations, easing entry for new sellers and boosting small trade liquidity. Topic-specific chat rooms are now consolidated into Chat and Support sections, combining public discussions and private chats in one screen.

What's new

• Reputation system enhancements. The reputation system has been updated to improve security and trading experience:
  • Trade limits are now directly tied to the seller's reputation score.
  • Reputation gained through burned or bonded BSQ will double over the first year.
  • Relaxed reputation requirements for trades up to $25.
  • The minimum required reputation score has been removed.
• Chat rooms consolidated. Chats have been consolidated into Chat and Support sections based on user feedback. Messages from removed chats have been migrated to these new areas as appropriate.
  • Bisq Easy > Offerbook chat;
  • Bisq Easy > My open trades counterparty chats;
  • Support > Assistance tab;
  • Chat > Discussion tab;
  • Chat > Private chats tab.

• More flexible offer book filtering. "Offer listings can now be sorted and filtered more granularly by parameters including price, payment method and on-chain (BTC) vs. off-chain (LN) settlement. Try shift-clicking on column headings to set secondary sort conditions," said the developers.

• Fixed notification issues.
• Fixed application version in user profile.
• Many additional fixes and improvements.

NOTE: In version 2.1.0, the application Bisq 2 was renamed to Bisq2 (without space). Users running v2.0.9 or earlier should manually delete or uninstall the old Bisq 2 application after updating to avoid potential data directory corruption. However, the existing Bisq 2 data directory should not be deleted, only the outdated application.
