<p>When something goes wrong in a trade, users must resort to mediation which involves a third-party suggesting how the BTC collateral should be distributed.  The mediator has the tools to build a transaction which the users then sign to accept and make the payout happen.  If one user disagrees they are forced to wait for arbitration.</p>
<p><strong>Bisq should enable traders to negotiate the disputed payout between themselves.</strong>  Since they are the sole owners of the 2-2 multisig they could do this anyway, but there exist no tools to let then collaborate in such a way.</p>
<p>Adding a simple form to trader chat would make it easy to interact.  One user could propose a suggested payout split to the other, which could then be approved or counter-proposed.  This process could repeat until an agreement is made.  The form could include some commonly-used payout suggestions the same way that the mediation GUI does, along with fields for custom payout amounts.  Once both parties agree to a propsal they sign and the seller broadcasts the payout Tx.</p>
<p>This should be considered an advanced feature and should have appropriate warnings about the ability to get scammed?  ("<em>if you are unsure about anything, choose Mediation</em>").</p>
<p>Mediation will continue to be an option for either party at any time.  Likewise with Arbitration, if they want to wait the 10 or 20 day timelock period.</p>
