I think both tasks have been rather trivial and the requested amount is too high IMO.

[niyid]

OK. What is Bisq policy of bounty payment for discovering a severe bug(showstopper)? And what in your opinion is a good value for each?

@chimp1984

I am still awaiting you response to the above.

[chimp1984]

bug(showstopper)?

For severe bug please use practice of responsible reporting. We will compensate fair.

[chimp1984]

what in your opinion is a good value for each?

For bisq-network/bisq#3513 I would request 50-100 USD (not a critical bug, only added catch and navigation call).

For bisq-network/bisq#3366 I would charge 100-150 USD. (adding a textfield using existing domain method, lots of back and forth in PR discussion)

Feel free to see my own requests for comparable "trivial" PRs. But its your decision at the end what you request.
As we suffer from lack of management I will switch to strict mode and only upvote what I would pay if I would pay a freelancer in a company.

What makes a bug a showstopper (critical)? I would think that is from the user's/tester's point of view and not the developer's. As I recall, if a bug cannot be circumvented (with a workaround) to allow the user to continue using the software, then it is a showstopper; and the triviality of the solution does not in anyway change the definition of a showstopper. With this bug, the Bisq instance was perpetually stuck during launch and the main screen never loads.

And I recall Bisq having a policy to pay 1000 BSQ for reporting a critical bug. Therefore I actually requested 500 BSQ for resolving it and 1000 BSQ for discovering it.

For bisq-network/bisq#3366 I would charge 100-150 USD. (adding a textfield using existing domain method, lots of back and forth in PR discussion)

Aha. The lots of "back and forth" and ensuring there is a consensus on terminologies and the delivery is all part of the effort put into the work, isn't it?

Well, good luck with your plan to treat Bisq like a gig job.

@niyid When persisted navigation view did not exist anymore it was just a blank page. I never had any further problems when this happened (mostly during dev testing) beside to click on the menu buttons to move to any other page.

Don't understand me wrong. I don't want to make your contribution smaller, just bring it to relation to others (like myself) and to ask the question how much would you pay a freelancer for such a task if you pay it from your pocket. I tried to give an estimate how much I would pay and use that for my vote decision. Others might have different views. We have been too tolerant and did not enough due dilligence in the past. In context of the low revenue (about 10-15K USD/month) we have to fix that lack of management and checks otherwise BSQ goes to zero and with it Bisq. I hope you understand and don't consider that as personal thing. You will see at other requests that I apply that to all requests now and will vote accordingly.

@chimp1984
Thanks for your response; but I am not taking anything personal. I have simply pointed out to you that the issue was a critical bug (showstopper). With this issue, Bisq would NEVER even load and the user/tester would be none wiser because he never gets any feedback - it just appears to hang.

This was different from the "blank page" you described. You have clearly stated that there was a work-around for the "blank page" which was to click on another menu button; meaning that was not a critical bug (or showstopper).

Of course we are all different individuals with our peculiar opinions therefore differing opinions are expected and welcome.

Regards.

[chimp1984]

Ah ok, then I mis-interpreted the bug and the fix.
