[bisq-network/proposals] Connect traders and contributors more closely by extending the fee model (#280)

[deusmax]

Crypto transactions & exchanges are all about, or at least an important part, low fees.
Most responses are supportive.

For me, I don't understand, with questions:
1. Why would the average trader - other than perhaps Bisq regulars - want to voluntary increase fees ? Won't the increased fees drive away users ?
2. What is the average user "buying" with the increased fee ?
3. Creating a "**social badge**" clearly contradicts the decentralized philosophy in a fundamental way, doesn't it ?

Increased funding for Bisq is always a desired goal, of course.
Isn't it more effective to try other methods like:
1. Increasing volume/number of trades.
2. Provide extra services for a fee, like:
    - insurance mentioned above.
    - quicker response by mediators, arbitrators. Instead of 48 hrs, maybe 24 or 12. 
    - etc.
3. Regular donate/support drives and links on the website.

As for the slider, it looks very good indeed. Perhaps it should also have notches, marking some fee levels, to guide users:
- Low
- Recommended (default)
- Higher
- High
