Remove Litecoin as base currency about proposals HOT 7 CLOSED

I've been thinking about doing this as well, glad you suggested it. I wonder about keeping the underlying infrastructure in place, though. We don't have to remove it right away, but over time it may become a liability. It adds considerable complexity and now there will be nothing testing or exercising it. It'll be dead code that does nothing but get in the way.

I agree with removing the support. I also see that there might come a time when we need to re-enable it considering it's less than a year since it was first needed. I would probably keep the infrastructure in place at least for a while.

Yes lets see how BTC as base currency develops. Miner fees will for sure rise once again to considerable heights and then we might re-consider to go back if we don't have a new off-chain model by then. I hope for the next 1-2 years we are still good with BTC and on-chain transactions.

The proposal was accepted by 4 votes and 0 rejections. It is implemented in v0.7.0.

I have a little suggestion, hopefully not too complicated:

• would it be interesting to store the Litecoin concerned code in a github repo here ? This in order for potentially interested people to be able to put an eye on it
• would it be interesting to open an operator role for running some LTC nodes in order to be able to (re)propose this feature in the future (if there is interest) ?

I make this suggestion because I imagine it was some work to propose that, and it may be sad to have the code just dissapearing and forgotten.
I make this suggestion for the LTC code and nodes, but maybe it would be more appropriate for BCH ?

The code stays, we just deactivated in the UI the currency selection.

I've added the was:approved label to this issue. @ManfredKarrer, technically, only one of the @bisq-network/proposals-maintainers should actually close issues. (You can do this yourself since you're one of the @bisq-network/github-admins, but the best thing in the future would be to @mention the proposals maintainers and ask them to close the issue, so they can double-check everything is in order process-wise, add labels as appropriate, etc. (by the way, I appreciate that you probably did this on my behalf because of my recent health issues. Just mentioning it here all the same for completeness).
