[bisq-network/proposals] Increase buy limit for new accounts from 0.01 to 0.02 BTC (#95)

[Manfred Karrer]

Yes sure we are all learning... sorry for my alarming tone, the stressful event is not so far back in my memory ;-).

I think we should have a consensus about what it means when a generic proposal gets accepted. I had never intended that it means a binding result but more a signal to contributors to put priority on that. If it would be a binding result we need to increase the threshold and quorum to a level like the param changes. Now generic proposals require only 5000 BSQ quorum and 50%. In comparision a param change proposal requires 100 000 BSQ and 75%. That was intentional to give a low barrier for community requests and a high barrier for automated parameter changes. Some param might be less critical but basically all those should be considered very carefully to change, thats why I set those values high. 

So if the community wants to treat generic proposals as binding then I will make a proposal for increasing quorum and threshold to those of param proposals. I hope we don't need to do that as that would convert the low barrier proposal type to a high barrier one. 

Another issue with binding would be that nobody can force a contributor to work on something, also not the DAO stakeholders. 

And generally I think voting really has to be seen as management work not as expression of opinion. The best attitude for voting IMO is like you see yourself as single decision maker and be the responsible person for the result of your vote. But of course in pseudonymous voting people tend to hide in the crowd and that can lead to overall bad decisions. Our current democracies are very good example how badly voting works. Voting was not the core of the original concept of democracy but the last means if no consensus could be found and then the dictatorship of the majority was used to find a result. The main goal of democracy was to find consensus in public discourse.
