[bisq-network/proposals] Migrate primary chat from Keybase to a new self-hosted Matrix team (Issue #355)

[WAT]

Identity can be currently verified on matrix by using keybase as a medium for 2FA: chat on matrix between userA and userB, A asks B to write them message M on keybase, so B messages A on keybase with "M", they can so get verified.
I currently did verification with MwithM and jmacxx.
The great downside to this is Matrix verification not working as web of trust: being reciprocally verified with MwithM and jmacxx, this didn't lead to MwithM and jmacxx seeing each other as verified as well, since they didn't do verification among themselves.
This doesn't scale at all and will definitely be a problem if we want to rely on trustless verification; we talked with MwithM about having an index of verified Matrix support agents on wiki, but that would be a trusted approach, and would also need someone to keep the wiki constantly updated.
Requesting a "web of trust" feature to Matrix, or something like cross-platform verification as it is on keybase, would be a possibility.
