Hi There - Would it be possible to add the ability to import or sweep a paper wallet into Bitsquare? I’d like the ability to sell off Bitcoins from a paper wallet but there doesn’t seem to be any way to conveniently do this. If I’ve missed this feature somehow, please let me know, but I think it could be a great add to the service if you could very easily just import or sweep your paper wallet directly in so you can liquidate it anonymously peer-to-peer. Thanks in advance for your response.

No that is not supported atm but a good idea to add. BitcoinJ allows importing of a private key but i think its better to sweep it with a real transaction as the imported key would not be a HD key.  
If any dev want to work on that, should not be too hard. I am too busy with other stuff…
