[bisq-network/proposals] Allow 1sat/vByte fee for withdrawals (#343)

> until someday RBF is implemented in Bisq.

BitcoinJ has not implemented it and Bisq use BitcoinJ.
Beside that it would not help for trade transactions as they are created interactively by both traders. Thus a RBF tx would required to re-do the trade process and as it cannot be assumed that both peers are online at the same time after the trade this is not feasible to do.

10 sat might be too high, I think reducing min. fee to 5 sat might be safe IMO.

Going much lower to 1-3 sat are not worth the risk as a fee spike can lead to many failed trades. It is not only damage for the involved user who caused it by trying to save a few cents, but its damage to the trade peer and add costs for Bisq support and cause reputation damage for Bisq (not every user will understand the complex reasons).  

And it can be even worse as described above. When we had last time that fee spike with many failed trades, there have been a few power users how had a long chain of such transactions and polluted othere traders by that. This continued long after the fee spike. It was a nightmare. Damage for all involved was huge and I guess we lost quite some users in that time. Support costs have been considerable and it required also lot of dev support. So would estimate just that costs to about 10k USD.

So lets not play with fire after getting burnt several times in the past. Bisq is a complex collaborative system and not a single user model. Your savings can result in costs for others. Your risk appetite might cause damage to others.
