[bisq-network/proposals] Negative reputation tied to payment account (#27)

[sqrrm]

@HarryMacfinned It's not possible to tie the onion address to anything physical, it can easily be changed and the same one can also be moved between computers. I also think as you say that it's not desirable to have a reputation system like that as it becomes a way to identify users.

@ManfredKarrer I like this as I think this negative reputation system is a lot less problematic to the general privacy of the system compared to the account verification proposal. This seem to have very little drawback, the only real issue I see is a bad arbitrator giving incorrect ratings. That would be unfortunate for the user but pretty harmless for the system. It could possibly also be grounds for kicking that arbitrator out. This might not be as comprehensive as an account verification system but it seems worth implementing.

@cypherspace86 I imagine it would be only fraud attempts that should get a bad rating. Honest mistakes happen, but perhaps it would be possible to hide fraud attempts as honest mistakes and some kind of doubt could add up with a few too many 'honest mistakes'.
