[bisq-network/proposals] Decide on interest rate for BSQ bonds of bonded roles (#120)

@clearwater-trust I did some more research and see what you're saying. I didn't understand correctly. A surety doesn't actually provide capital—the principal does. And a principal would pay the surety for that arrangement in order to carry out whatever activity they need the surety bond for. This payment is considered as more of a fee than interest. OK.

If that's the case, then the principal **retains control** of the capital in question. So they can deploy it to make profits, or...invest it and make returns?

With Bisq role bonds, the capital is being **locked up** and made unavailable.

I hope I'm not coming across as difficult. All I'm saying is capital has a cost. I can't think of a single scenario in which access to capital is made available for free.

If it wasn't technically complex, I would suggest doing a dividend instead. Could be adjusted based on the network's success, would be available to all BSQ holders (not just role owners), but would still compensate role owners for locking up big amounts of capital (while also motivating them to do better at the roles they hold).
