The mobile version of Bisq 2 allows you to access the Bisq Easy protocol from a smartphone, and it comes in two versions:
- Bisq Easy full node
- Bisq 2 remote
Bisq Easy full node
This is the full experience of Bisq Easy on mobile: the application acts as an autonomous node on the Bisq 2 p2p network, getting its own onion address and hosting all the features of the Bisq Easy trading protocol in your pocket. It is tailored mostly for buyers, who:
- are completely new to Bitcoin and want to get their first satoshis, so they can use them to cover for the security deposit on Bisq 1, in order to access a more advanced trading protocol, with larger liquidity and better prices
- do not own a desktop computer, or share it with other people, and prefer not to expose their trading
Cons:
- it will use more of your battery, because it has to manage the full p2p stack to be online
- your phone will probably kill the process after a while to free up resources, so you will lose the current state
Bisq 2 remote
It works in a similar way to what a remote desktop does, since you need a running Bisq 2 instance on your desktop computer at home, which will have to be turned on and connected, and will accept an incoming connection from the mobile remote app to make its features accessible. It is the preferred option for sellers, or frequent buyers:
- lightweight if compared to the Bisq Easy full node version
- all the profile information and offer book activity is managed in a single place (your desktop computer) so access to trades can be transparently available on two different devices
- even if your phone kills its process, the current state will be preserved on the desktop application
- this will be the version where access to new protocols could be added in the future, for example the MuSig upgrade of the existing Bisq1 multisig protocol
Cons:
- you need a desktop computer always running and connected to the internet in order to use it (this is the only downside, really)
