<p>I have considered this before. However I do think having a set minimum security deposit floor amount ensures that all traders have a minimum amount of skin in the game.</p>
<p>For example in a $100 trade for BTC I would consider $15 too low for any of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mentioning Bitcoin in payment reference,</li>
<li>Paying user from wrong account</li>
<li>Attempting a scam</li>
<li>Fishing for account user / data</li>
<li>Compensating the innocent party for the time spent dealing with any of the above</li>
</ul>
<p>0.006 BTC means that all traders traders have ~$300 on the line for their trade. This seems a good amount to me, if a little inaccessible for new users looking to start with small trades.</p>
