To make BSQ more accessible to traders, I propose to create a #buy-bsq channel to trade small amounts of BSQ outside of Bisq protocol. Payment methods will vary (main option could be lightning).
This proposal has been thought after the evolution of #305 and it's inspired on the [#buy-bitcoin channel](https://bisq.wiki/Keybase-Buy_Bitcoin).

This is how it would work:
- BSQ buyers send a message on a # buy-bsq Keybase chat indicating that they want to buy BSQ, the amount (up to 0.001 BTC), and how they could pay (on-chain BTC, Lightning, altcoins...). 
- A bonded BSQ seller will reply with a price. Bonds are intended as security mechanisms to discourage foul play, so if a bonded seller were to act dishonorably, the buyer could make a case against them in the DAO and propose to have their bond revoked.
- Complete the deal in private chat.
- BSQ buyers must send BTC first, and then the bonded BSQ seller will send BSQ.
- Only those who bond 200BSQ for six months (25920 blocks) and associate their bond to a Growth github issue will be indicated as trusted sellers on the "info" field at the # buy-bsq channel.

@chimp1984 is the salt something only known by the one who puts the bond? How would an external viewer verify and associate Keybase/Github identities to a bond?
