[bisq-network/bisq] Adopt fee model to de-incentivize offers with huge market price distance (#4630)

[chimp1984]

Yes we need to think about partitioning models at some point. It was always clear that the current model cannot scale up endlessly. My previous suggestions have been based on the wrong assumption that those high distance offers are never taken and have no value to Bisq, but that was a wrong assumption as the post from @pazza83 has shown.

To partition the markets by currency is likely the most feasible approach. To separate those markets so that you can choose which markets you support (the more markets the more network traffic you need to handle) whould be an option. This only need to be applied on major markets where are already enough users to not risk any network instability and not to be applied on small markets which would suffer then from not getting sufficiently propagated.  
Yes seeds could either be strong enough to support all or are flagged as USD seeds or EUR seeds and then you connect to the ones you are interested in.

But those are "happy problems" for the future ;-).

But beside that the proposal was based on wrong assumptions, it also has shown from some of the reactions that it is not well understood that the network is a shared resource and using it has some "invisible" costs. Those costs are not only on the users side but also on the DAOs side as the DAO pais for seed node operators and for devs who need to optimize network code to make it possible ot handle heavier load. This lack of awareness should be considered in our communications strategies... (as @m52go pointed out). Maybe a Wiki article or blog post might help to educate a bit about the nature of the Bisq p2p network.
