There's been a change in the way USD per BSQ is calculated. Now, for this cycle, it's 0.56 USD/BSQ.

Please update.

• Counter memchain-too-long error via (USD 1040,00)

The other items are looking fine, but for this I just wanted to know what is the reason for this amount? Was it because of the extended testing requirement?

[ripcurlx]

@freimair explained on Keybase that it is a combination based on the complexity of the issue and the testing requirements that resulted in this amount.

With that my team lead review is complete and I approve this request.

I just want to comment that @freimair's work on various critical issues this cycle were extremely valuable to Bisq, especially Tor V3 and too-long-mempool-chain. Thank you for your hard work 🏆

Closing as accepted.

There are some inconsistencies with the vote result calculation for cycle 12. We are looking into it. Please avoid moving any BTC in your BSQ wallet for now, they might actually be BSQ that failed to get colored.
