<p>To make BSQ more accessible to traders, I propose to create a #buy-bsq channel to trade small amounts of BSQ outside of Bisq protocol. Payment methods will vary (main option could be lightning).<br>
This proposal has been thought after the evolution of <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="799819387" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/305" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/bisq-network/proposals/issues/305/hovercard" href="https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/305">#305</a> and it's inspired on the <a href="https://bisq.wiki/Keybase-Buy_Bitcoin" rel="nofollow">#buy-bitcoin channel</a>.</p>
<p>This is how it would work:</p>
<ul>
<li>BSQ buyers send a message on a # buy-bsq Keybase chat indicating that they want to buy BSQ, the amount (up to 0.001 BTC), and how they could pay (on-chain BTC, Lightning, altcoins...).</li>
<li>A bonded BSQ seller will reply with a price. Bonds are intended as security mechanisms to discourage foul play, so if a bonded seller were to act dishonorably, the buyer could make a case against them in the DAO and propose to have their bond revoked.</li>
<li>Complete the deal in private chat.</li>
<li>BSQ buyers must send BTC first, and then the bonded BSQ seller will send BSQ.</li>
<li>Only those who bond 200BSQ for six months (25920 blocks) and associate their bond to a Growth github issue will be indicated as trusted sellers on the "info" field at the # buy-bsq channel.</li>
</ul>
