[bisq-network/proposals] Listing fee policy - step 1 (general) (#35)

[Avante Vandaleur]

One of the many beauties of Bisq is that it has a beat on the free market ground like no one else. Charging a fee to list won't solve the problem....I'd imagine it would only spawn another set of greater problems. As the great philosopher Notorious B.I.G, said, "more money, more problems." 

Its understandable to look first to fees/money for the solution. I suppose its all about what your end goal is. If its only to be a top 20 Coinmarketcap fill up station, then that...sounds perfect. ( `currently only 45%` ) 

It sounds like to me that the problem is more a lack of volume on the Bisq platform. Notice that it is a platform wide issue. Not just the unpopular altcoins. I agree it can be a nuisance to see listed coins that have not even a single sell order...much less a buy. 

####  So...one quick & easy vetting sweep for **unknown** altcoins applying to Bisq would be:
##  **Are they listed on another Centralized exchange?**  
If they are, you can forget about traders choosing inconvenience over convenience. Even if it means holding their own keys and protecting their wealth like Bisq enthusiasts understand. Unless its users already understand and practice these principles. For LESSER KNOWN altcoins, those based from Monero/CryptoNote would have a higher probability of its users already understanding this -  and thus valuing BISQ for its strengths. Just sayin.

The other thing I would say for new altcoins would be remove them quicker. Place higher & tighter trade volume requirements on them. Rather than "more than none" - set a minimum. Give em 30-40 days to hit it, if not pull the plug, and move on. Stay fresh.

There are WAY too many smart people behind and using BISQ to just think charging a fee will solve this issue. And I do hope BISQ continues to find intelligent solutions to the issues that arise.
