Hi,

I follow the Bisq forum now for a while.  
And I made trades over many Bisq releases (0.7.0 to 0.9.4).  
I **never** experienced any problems.

My impression why people have problems is:

- PC not running stable.  
Hardware problems (i.e. overheating). Driver problems (network, storage, graphic).  
Software problems.  
I assume that any Windows PCs older than 2 years is infected with some kind of malware.
- **PC not running 24/7 until trade is completed.**

The quality of the Bisq releases is high in general. I never had any crash.  
I would recommend people who want use Bisq for trade:

- Run your PC 3 days 24h with a network monitor running (build in with Windows, Google it)  
Is your PC still running stable after 3 days continuous running ?  
Does your PC produce unexplained network traffic ? (malware ?)

I’m sure once your PC is healthy Bisq is running fine.

Thanks for the feedback. I would highly recommend any BTC trader to use OSX or Linux for crypto realted stuff. Windows is very unsafe.
