Thanks for the detailed write up!

As you said as well privacy is the core aspect of Bisq and even if we are moving in the direction to provide more choice for users to make their trade-offs between privacy and cost/convenience in the context of new trade protocols based on reputation I am a bit skeptical if the suggested model would still fit into the core model of Bisq.

I am aware that it is opt-in and some users might choose to disclose their trade history and other aspects of their identity. 

For reputation we will try to find solutions where privacy is still protected as far as possible. The account signing concept has achieved that to a good degree. This is for sure challenging and not all use cases will be possible. There will be decisions to be made to drop some options because it goes too far and would cause damage to the reputation of Bisq.
All that area is still very fresh and not worked out yet, so my comments have to be seen in that context.

My rough idea with enhancing "social aspects" in Bisq was more in the direction of making the trade experience more an emotional and social experience. Similar like going to a market and have nice interaction with the shop owners, browse the colorful offers and enjoy the atmosphere compared to the cold and boring emotional experience to do online shopping at Amazon. 

Beside my concerns regarding privacy stated above I think such an ambitious project would be too early at the current stage. We still do our first investigations and prototypes to see if the overall concept of multi-protocol exchange is feasible from UX complexity and engineering efforts point of view. 
Once we have a more clearly defined architecture we will see if a more generic plug-in model might make sense for 3rd parties to hook their applications into Bisq. But that is another challenge which would be too much atm to focus on, but if its feasible it would be certainly an interesting approach. Such a model would make it much more open and flexible for others to add their ideas also regarding revenue.

I will down-vote the proposal to signal that I am not in favor to fund that at the current stage, but I appreciate the quality of the proposal and the idea, though as stated have my concerns if it fits into Bisq.
