[bisq-network/bisq] How to calculate trade penalties? (#5324)

[MwithM]

> 25% would only be in cases where seller has not sent BTC, or has sent BTC 3 days late. In those cases I think buyer should expect 25% of trade amount as a standard penalty.

Maybe traders don't mind very much waiting for 3 days, but if they know for sure they're gonna get a fixed 25% of trade amount, they won't agree for any other amount with their peer.

> Problem with 2% trade penalties is the volatility of BTC price. If as above seller is 3 days late releasing funds BTC price could have moved by more than 2%. I think penalties should not be associated to BTC price movement but instead fixed to late payment / release or BTC funds.

Yes, maybe 2% is a very small amount considering BTC volatility and that traders can delay accepting the mediation, but that's another reason why using a range of penalties for the table is reasonable.
