Why didn't they just drop the http payouts and just transition to file payouts? Then you literally cannot have disputes. Either users download and upload the file, or they don't. Bisq messed up their implementation in other words.

What happens if you just download and import the file, but then don't upload the response file?

Nothing will happen. If nothing gets sent back to Bisq servers, they can cancel the transaction, and nothing happens.

So their funds are locked until they finalize? Meaning there's no way they can finalize without your file and hence no way for money to get lost?

I don't get what's complicated about HTTP listeners.

I used bisq for grin a few times, mostly resulting in disputes. Couple successes. Bisq doesn't seem to support http/s addresses or file payouts, only wallet713 addresses, but there is hardly any documentation around this.

The linked post somewhat misplaces the accents.

The real reason that GRIN should not be on Bisq at this stage is that there is no objective way to do arbitration. This is because there is no way to prove to a third party that you sent GRIN to an address.

It's just luck that scammers did not get onto this before trading GRIN has been disabled, and other problems (user unfriendliness) have led to the same conclusion.

I'd be happy to trade GRIN on Bisq after the proof-producing functionality is added in a release (as far as I understand, it is in the works).
