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

[The Blur Network]

Please don't misunderstand my tone... I do genuinely feel as though all of your maintainers are doing something with Bisq that is very unique and impressive.  I really appreciate the work that has been put into what I think is something of a revolutionary idea.  Your documentation is second-to-none in the exchange space, in particular. I remain thoroughly impressed with the ability of your group to work together with structure and efficient discussion.

That said, the point of my post was not to throw a dagger -- please allow me to apologize if it came off a bit too abrasively. I do understand the meritocracy inherent in these things, and I'm in no position to argue with your decisions, ultimately.  That is why I chose to speak to only the area that affects BLUR, directly.  I do not feel as though I am in a place to speak elsewhere.  

First, to answer your questions @ManfredKarrer :

> Are there other exchanges where BLUR is listed? If so what will you do to bring volume to Bisq to make BLUR different to the 120 of 130 altcoins which never have been traded in the last 4 months? I don't know BLUR so please apologize if I compare you with any other altcoins, I know that not all are the same, but unfortunately 90% seem to bring zero value (or at least zero volume) to Bisq and we don't have time to invest time to validate a given coin - too many out there

BLUR is currently being traded only on MapleChange (CCX is also listed here), apart from the PRs to Bisq.  To that point, our Discord server has had open dialogues about Bisq's proposed changes from this thread, the platform in general, and members of our community have been educating others on how to use Bisq.  While our community is only about 2 months old, it is growing, and actively seeking to educate others while doing our best to lower the barriers to entry in the Crypto space for both mining and trading.  

Blur Network runs on a dynamic algorithm called Cryptonight-Adaptive, created by the NERVA Project.  The algo changes every block, with the goal of making GPUs/ASICs too resource-intensive to be worthwhile. Blur CPU-mined, with each miner hashing on a full node.  Mining rigs won't work on our network, nor traditional stratified pool mining software, without a fair amount of modifications.  The goal is to enable anyone with a laptop or PC to generate a significant ability to mine blocks ...  not just high-end or specialized hardware owners. I believe our mission is very much in line with Bisq's.  We are aiming to be accessible, but require a rudimentary amount of technical knowledge. 

To return to my initial purpose in joining this discussion: Being that the same conventions were followed as those merged into master, for CCX listing... I do not see the fairness in a retroactive fee for BLUR.  We have done our best to make the review easy for your maintainers. Reissued the changes after the most recent commit (CCX listing) as per @cbeams request in another thread (though I can't recall where to find it) regarding the issue of spending too much time reviewing coins. It was mentioned as necessary for developers to reissue PRs as a single commit, and making sure that the only piece of the workload to be completed, is the merge by Bisq maintainers.  Otherwise, the agreement was to ignore the requests. I do recognize that your plates are very full -- that is why we have followed instructions, precisely as stated.
