[bisq-network/proposals] Remove ICO assets (#58)

[sqrrm]

I agree with @ripcurlx on this. Currently the project is not decentralized enough to be considered censorship resistant. The aim is to build that but any project starts off with just one person. At this point I think it's better to not list the ICO tokens and continue work to not make us unable to censor them. It's obviously still possible to fork the project and list them for those that really want to, but at this point it's unlikely that anyone would since it requires a lot of work and that's not what ICOs are about.

Once we get rid of the arbitrators and get the 2of2 trade protocol I think it will be easier to fork the project if someone really wants to, there will also be less attack surface and risk for contributors so that would be one good step on the way. With the future possibility of using bonded reputation for trading anything it should be possible to list anything and only loosely tie in to the bisq protocol for completing trades if the bisq DAO decides it doesn't want to list the asset through the client. As @flix1 says about not being able to do evil, I see a path forward to where it might be impossible to stop anyone using the protocol and I think that should be the goal.

I also don't feel like supporting scams that mainly add risk and badwill to bisq.
