[bisq-network/proposals] Encourage usage of Bonded Reputation by calculating a score for all offers (#138)

[Steve Jain]

I think a variety of mechanisms are needed. Deposits and account aging were the original ones, and they've worked reasonably well. Account signing is another one, and additional methods for getting accounts signed are in the works. Bonding is another. Perhaps there will be more. In this case, I think variety is good. Over time we'll learn what tends to work better.

Bonding strikes me as particularly elegant, as it completely avoids the mess of dealing with fiat banking that account signing has to handle, yet provides even stronger protections.

I happen to think an additional confidence mechanism like this would be positive for liquidity, especially if it's one active market makers would prefer.

You can "buy in" to the network with time (account aging and single-account signing) or with identity (2FA account signing). This proposal would simply add a financial means to the mix. To my knowledge, BSQ is available to anyone who wants it, and this proposal wouldn't force anyone to use it, so I see this as a shallow criticism.
