[bisq-network/proposals] Reimbursement proposal/request (#49)

[Manfred Karrer]

Related to a not yet published proposal for a bigger change of the arbitration system we might have the situation that we have to make reimbursements to users who experienced losses in a trade (e.g. the peer did not respond or was a scammer). 

Without going more into the details of that new dispute resolution concept we would need a solution for paying out such reimbursements in a decentralized way.

We could add a new proposal type to the DAO for reimbursements. If it gets voted ok the user who filed the request gets issued the requested amount. Technically it is the same like a compensation request and therefore it is quite easy to implement.

It is NOT intended for the current lost trade fee reimbursements which is often about very small amounts (cents to a few dollars). That would create too much "spam" for the voting process and should be still handled in some other - not yet defined - way, but as those amounts are relatively small I would not give priority for finding a solution for that. Best solution is to fix those bugs which causes it ;-).

I know that this proposal might be not 100% clear without knowing the details of those plan for the dispute resolution process but as I need to finalize the DAO and once the DAO is live on mainnet it will be hard to add any changes, I wanted to share the idea.

Beside that concrete use case it could be also use more generic for any cases where a reimbursement might make sense, for instance if users lose funds dua a bug or hack in the DAO.
