<p>I support this proposal. Starting with a minimal effort and learn as we go seems best. I have seen there have been quite a few requests for f2f trades but I still suspect if will be hard to match these people on location.</p>
<p>For traders this would probably not be much more risky than any other system doing f2f trades such as localbitcoins considering the parties can choose their trade location according to local conditions. I could see a need for a feature to cancel the trade process if no trade location can be agreed upon, or include coordinates to suggested trade locations in the offer. I guess that would be what would be found out after running it for a bit though.</p>
<p>The risk for Bisq network seems minimal. If there are scams we can learn how to handle that and if there are robberies that still comes down on the individuals. The feature can always be severely restricted or retired if it turns out it doesn't work.</p>
