[bisq-network/proposals] Enable face to face (F2F) trade in Bisq (#24)

[Harry MacFinned]

I completely agree that we should not expect to define a top-down optimal procedure at the first try. And if an optimal procedure can be found, it will only be thru multiple trials.
But, there is also the possible case where something could badly fail, and may be used against Bisq, as a pretext. Just once may suffice.
In France, we have people monitoring forums and searching for careless peoples advertising their holiday's dates, their vehicle plates, etc.

Certainly dozens of pretexts can be used to censor Bisq ... but with F2F the risk of physical violence is of course existent. It's a completely different game as sending fiat money from a bank etc.
I agree that it may really be a great development path for Bisq ... but imagine a people being hurt ... this could be used very negatively against Bisq.
I'm not completely confident about the "safe meeting place" guarantee. If things turn bad, you may have just more people hurted.

Safety on one side, no usability killer on the other side ... what a tightrope job !
