So far, Bisq has a modest size, is another reason why it would not be a danger to Bitshares, and has just what Bitshares needs: a Fiat Gateway full p2p. I think the time has come to add and not to subtract. It is the way in which all the big companies have grown.

I do not know if you realize another advantage of using an external p2p Gateway to Bitshares: If a node incorporated some FIAT exchange system, even P2P, there could be legal and regulatory problems for witnesses, depending on their country.
However, since Bisq is an external App used by each user, those problems do not arise.
I think this has the potential to be a great idea  that should be explored.

The Bisq forum is even less active than here. Their github project page seems a little active.

Strongly agree, practically there is nothing to do in the technical aspect, Bisq allows the exchange by Fiat of BTC, Dash and LTC.

https://markets.bisq.network/?pmarket=BTC
https://markets.bisq.network/?market=dash_usd
https://markets.bisq.network/?pmarket=LTC

Just add BTS, BitCNY and BitUSD. It is a commercial and negotiation work with Bisq more than technical. The implications of having a full FIAT p2p bridge (the only one that exists) with the DEX can be huge, especially in China, just what Bitshares needs now.

Using the infrastructure from Bisq for FIAT exchange could give both projects huge traffic increase.
1. Integrating BTS and BitFIAT in Bisq (use BTS for security deposit and fees) https://github.com/bisq-network/docs/blob/master/exchange/howto/list-token.adoc
2. Writing a bridge to use the Bisq network for FIAT trading

There are already bitshares usere on the Bisq forum: https://bisq.community/t/add-steemusd-support-thread/340/18

I have already mentioned it on occasion, but I think the best solution to implement an escrow system is to use the most decentralized system that exists now to buy BTC, P2P way: Bisq. Why invent the wheel, if it already exists?

If Bisq implemented the option to change BTS or BitUSD by FIAT, then the purchase can be moved to the Bitshares DEX and the problem would be solved. There is not much danger that Bisq can remove volume from the DEX of bitshares, since the vast majority of Bisq's trade is exchange of BTC with FIAT, functionality that does not exist in the DEX. The exchange of cryptocurrencies in Bisq is wallet-to-wallet, and of very low volume. I do not think it could interfere with the type of smartcoins trade and low fees of the DEX.

Bisq can now trade with any type of cryptocurrencies, so it seems to me that the best approach for this project would be to contact the Bisq dev and propose a collaboration. Both projects would add synergies and win, so that a p2p-bridge would be available immediately. Precisely Bisq has modified its connections Tor to be able to work in mainland China and it turns out that there Bitshares has a good market. Makes sense.

An escrow system is one of the next important features. It should be designed to handle conditional payment features like Byteballs.

Sellers’ funds are allocated on p2p-bridge in BitShares blockchain only at the moment of making the deal. When the seller confirms receiving fiat, funds are sent to the buyer.
If the deal is cancelled, the funds are sent back to the wallet. Thus we serve as an escrow and guarantee safety of making the deal to both parties.
So.. theoretically, is it possible that the operator of the website disappear with the customers' funds?
... or keys will be lost or stolen. Previously, this happened with such centralized services so many times.

The on-chain escrow feature implemented on Steem would prevent that from happening. We're talking about building a similar one in BitShares.
This is the most important feature that should be implemented in BitShares, cause this will allow to do cheap, safe and decentralized fiat gates, which is so necessary for the network!

take a look at this project, it is a alfa version of a "localbitshares" that now in test by Russian community

Considering that we want to grow the network, have limited human resources but have a governance system for funds,
how about we setup some bounties to implement features and let the shareholders decide which ones to fund:
* conditional payments (general)
* escrow system (specific)
* dividends feature (existing code)
* atomic cross-chain swaps (existing code)

Of course, we cannot ask the current set of developers to do *all* the work, but we can use the funds at our dispose (worker proposals) to find talent and let them do stuff while earning some money?!

Before submit a worker proposal for funding, dev team may try to post task requests on utopian.io, a project based on STEEM blockchain. Dev team may promise those who can deliver will get a big upvote in addition to utopian upvote bot. This will save a lot of time since workers proposals take time to get shareholder approved.

That's a good idea.

Maybe off-topic, but I think we should have some principles when discussing.

My principle:
* if an important "partner" business strongly wants a practicable feature, it gets highest priority.
* If more partners want it, it get more priority.
* requests from "potential partners" get lower priority.

Our dev resource is not unlimited, must focus on most important things.
