<p>could you please expand here on your concerns about implementing the chat you mentioned on <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-id="446714052" data-permission-text="Issue title is private" data-url="https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/93" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/bisq-network/proposals/issues/93/hovercard" href="https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/93">#93</a>?</p>

<p>Actually it was an example, not an objection.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>For example for <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-id="444498213" data-permission-text="Issue title is private" data-url="https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/90" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/bisq-network/proposals/issues/90/hovercard" href="https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/90">#90</a> you can go to a lot of trouble to integrate direct chat... or just include a field for an e-mail address in the contract...</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In this case since the chat mechanism is already built for arbitration, I don't have any problems with re-using it. However if we had to choose between building it from zero... or just adding a simple text field to include an e-mail address... well it's clear which solution is simpler.</p>
<p>In fact if you have ever used Revolut to trade on Bisq, when it was first included it allowed the use of an e-mail address and users often communicated directly. Now that Revolut works only with a phone number... users still whatsapp counterparties when there are any delays. So direct communication already exists in practice.</p>
