<p>I think this will work and it is on the way to make Bisq become an arbitration court for general trades, a la Lex Mercatoria. There are still some problems, one of which is blackmail. Despite the deposits being equal and large there is an asymmetry between a rich trader and a poor trader where the rich trader still can blackmail the poor trader. Granted that the rich one risks losing his deposit but it does not hurt as much as it hurts the poor one. I doubt this type of blackmail will occur much in practise though.</p>
