[bisq-network/proposals] Action Protocol for Mediators (#307)

[sqrrm]

>>    There has to be some incentive to accept the mediation payout from the 2of2 since it requires the scammers signature. During the refund process nothing should be given back to scammers obviously.

And if the scammer doesn't give the signature? There's just a delay yeah?

I'm sure there's a doc somewhere, but I don't know where unfortunately. The process goes, buyer and seller send funds, including their security deposits, to a 2of2 with a presigned payout to the donation address. If the don't agree to complete the trade with the trade protocol, perhaps due to one of them being a scammer, there are then two paths forward. Either sending funds to the donation address and dealing with arbitration, which can be slow, or do the mediation. Mediation means the mediator suggest a payout structure and both parties sign their part of the 2of2. If there is no funds coming back to the scammer they have no reason at all to accept the mediated suggestion so the funds will go to arbitration where they also get nothing but it's detrimental to the DAO.
