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

[Chris Beams]

A quick response to say +1 in general and that I think F2F trading (and/or cash by mail) is the single most important feature we can implement from a privacy and censorship resistance perspective. Having the option to trade without banks and payment processors in the mix is critical to Bisq being able to fulfill its mission in truly adversarial environments.

With regard to arbitration, perhaps we could encourage or even require both parties to voice record their F2F interaction via their mobile device. Ideally these recordings would be stored locally and streamed back to the party’s (offsite) Bisq node for safe-keeping in case their device is stolen or confiscated, and the recordings would then be made available automatically to the arbitrator should a dispute be opened by either party. This kind of voice logging and streaming is something that a dedicated Bisq remote client like the one proposed in #25 could do, but obviously this isn’t a first-iteration feature.

Note that the audio could/should also be signed, with hashes exchanged between parties’ clients immediately after the recording is finished to make the recordings tamper-evident in arbitration.
