<p>All those are very interesting points that are discussed every once in a while within the community.</p>
<p>I think that making changes to the trading protocol is not an easy task at all.  Mabye <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/hovercards?user_id=170962" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/ripcurlx">@ripcurlx</a> or <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/hovercards?user_id=23560607" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/sqrrm">@sqrrm</a> can help more on this.    But in any case I fully agree that if possible, it could be great to reduce friction for new markets while bootstrapping.</p>
<p>The problem of not requiring a security deposit is that people are lazy and without it they often do not comply with the trade by not showing up (f2f) or not making the payment (fiat bank payment).  But maybe Japan is completely different in this respect.</p>
