Hello everyone,

We are planning to have weekly blogs posts on Bisq DAO and related concepts. If you are interested in sharing your own experiences and views on this topic by writing a post, feel free to contact me at @arunasurya.

I would be happy to hear your thoughts, and work together in getting the finished post to our readers.
I am also available on Bisq slack.

@arunasurya I’m interested!

@arunasurya @peoples I’ve posted some topics here. Feel free to browse those for ideas. New topics would be fantastic too.

Do you think more of a technical or a sociological article is what you are looking for?

arunasurya · February 7, 2019, 6:42pm

I think we can do both. You are welcome to choose your own topic, and I would be happy to work with you on getting it published.

Hello fellow writers!

Here is an update on the Blog project and some steps on how to join us in this effort!

Introduction

We are going to publish blog posts on a regular basis and would like to hear your experiences using Bisq, thoughts on the Bisq DAO and any other ideas that you would like to share with the Bisq community and the rest of the world. We will share your blog posts on the Bisq blog site and other blogging platforms. You will work closely with the other contributors in producing quality posts and be compensated for your work.

In the spirit of the Bisq DAO, we would like to create an efficient blog writing process with the focus on the writer autonomy and fruitful collaboration. This process may change as more writers join us. A blog project lead will coordinate the project, communicate with the writers and ensure the continuous stream of posts. The current project lead is @arunasurya.

Blog writing process

If you are interested, join and introduce yourself in the #blogposts slack channel
Review the blog writing schedule, leave a comment on your choice of the publishing week and the topic OR contact the project lead with these details
The project lead will get in touch with the individual writers and work closely on the delivery of the post
The project lead will handle the editing and publishing process. All you need to focus on is writing
The final draft should be sent to the project lead one week prior to the publication week

Those writers who become regular contributors to the project will get edit access to the blog writing schedule. Currently, the edit access is only given to the project lead to avoid any confusion.

You can choose your own topic or choose one from a list of blog topics by @m52go here.

Compensation

The blog writer can file a compensation request for the amount of BSQ that they think is reasonable for their work. The compensation request is filed after the blog post has been published.

The specific details of the process may change with time. Feel free to leave your comments and suggestions here. We look forward to hearing from you!

I would love to see a few blog post from Bisq users or contributors to reflect on their view why they are using/being interested in Bisq.

Hello everyone,

Check out our posts on Medium: Bisq DAO for Bitcoin Maximalists and An Overview of the Bisq Network!

Also, take a look at our blog writing schedule in case you want to join us!

Your posts don’t need to be only about Bisq. They can also be about related topics such as privacy, decentralization, cryptography, Bitcoin, etc. We welcome different views and opinions!

Join us on Bisq slack on the #blogposts channel!

# Bisq Blog Project

The aim of the Bisq blog project is to publish quality blog posts on a regular basis. Our posts will express diverse opinions and thoughts by people in the Bisq community, including contributors and traders. 

## Writers
Anyone interested in contributing a post is welcome to join us! We want to have a diverse group of writers, from those with a non-technical background to developers and active traders. We are also open to those writers who want to write a post in a language other than English.

- The writers are responsible for delivering quality blog posts by an agreed deadline.
- The writers are also encouraged to contribute to the Bisq writer community by sharing their ideas on blog topics, publicizing, etc.
- As a writer, you have the freedom to choose your own topic, the length of your post and the date of publication.
- The topics are not limited to Bisq only, and can include your thoughts on related subjects such as Bitcoin, privacy, cryptography, etc.

### Communication
Communication is done on slack, either directly with the project lead or on the #blogposts channel.
The current project lead is @arunasurya.

### Compensation
The blog writer can file a compensation request for the amount of BSQ that they think is reasonable for their work. 
The compensation request is filed **after** the blog post has been published on the Bisq blog site.
