Description
This role is responsible for maintaining Bisq's fork of bitcoinj at https://github.com/bisq-network/bitcoinj. This includes but is not limited to doing big, valuable work like implementing Bisq's needs around SegWit and integrating that support into Bisq (see https://github.com/bisq-network/exchange/issues/1139).
This role is (or at least can be) more than narrowly bitcoinj-specific: we need one or more contributors to can stay on top of all Bisq's Bitcoin needs, to stay abreast of what's happening at the protocol level, to get proactive about things.
Note that Bisq also maintains a federation of Bitcoin Core nodes as a service to its users for the purpose of mitigating privacy risk caused by bitcoinj's approach to bloom filter-based SPV. The contributor playing this role could also become one of the @bisq-network/btcnode-maintainers (see #66) and help tune settings for all the nodes in our federation, maintain common `bitcoin.conf` files for the set of @bisq-network/btcnode-operators (#67) that run them, etc.
