[bisq-network/proposals] Certification for ownership of a bank account (#23)

[riclas]

 "Furthermore, you only have this during disputes, while this new feature
would provide data before trading happens."

No, an arbitrator's machine can be compromised by another entity for a long
period of time. The risk is exactly the same here.
When sellers start to complain about getting scammed, like they did with
venmo, you will see this is not a small tradeoff for privacy.

Try to improve the proposal and its tradeoffs, or come up with something
else :)
