@riclas If the peer certifies then you can only trust it if you do it yourself. Any other peer could have been a sockpuppet from a scammer. So that will only work the same way we use our "local reputation" system where you see how many times you traded with a peer. Is or sure something useful but I think its rather limited. To have it globally would be much more useful.
If the verification process of the arbitrator does not include any private data I really don't see a biug problem in that.
Beside that it is cumbersome if you trade with 20 peers and need to do that verification 20 times. An the peer get verified by his other traders as well. You need to agree on a screen sharing session and that makes the trade experience not more smooth. Beside that you need to explain the user why and how to do that which adds more mental transaction costs to the process.
