<p>Crypto transactions & exchanges are all about, or at least an important part, low fees.<br>
Most responses are supportive.</p>
<p>For me, I don't understand, with questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Why would the average trader - other than perhaps Bisq regulars - want to voluntary increase fees ? Won't the increased fees drive away users ?</li>
<li>What is the average user "buying" with the increased fee ?</li>
<li>Creating a "<strong>social badge</strong>" clearly contradicts the decentralized philosophy in a fundamental way, doesn't it ?</li>
</ol>
<p>Increased funding for Bisq is always a desired goal, of course.<br>
Isn't it more effective to try other methods like:</p>
<ol>
<li>Increasing volume/number of trades.</li>
<li>Provide extra services for a fee, like:
<ul>
<li>insurance mentioned above.</li>
<li>quicker response by mediators, arbitrators. Instead of 48 hrs, maybe 24 or 12.</li>
<li>etc.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Regular donate/support drives and links on the website.</li>
</ol>
<p>As for the slider, it looks very good indeed. Perhaps it should also have notches, marking some fee levels, to guide users:</p>
<ul>
<li>Low</li>
<li>Recommended (default)</li>
<li>Higher</li>
<li>High</li>
</ul>
