[bisq-network/roles] Comptroller (Issue #111)

> Do you have an idea why the percentage of fees paid in BSQ is going more and more down?

Yes I think it is for a couple of reasons:

- The absolute minimum fees when paying in BTC to [avoid dust is 0.00005 BTC](https://bisq.wiki/Trading_fees#Current_rates)
- BSQ decreasing in price following the publishing of the [adjusted cycles USD/BSQ rate](https://bisq.wiki/Updating_BSQ_trading_fees)

For the first reason when the price of both BSQ and BTC fall as has happened over the last few cycles the fees collected from BTC trades is higher relative to fiat amount traded for BTC trades due to the BTC dust limit for fees. This has the effect of increasing the amount collected in fees from users using BTC to pay for trade fees.

For the second the USD/BSQ is set at the beginning of the cycle, however if the USD/BSQ price falls during the cycle the total relative fiat amount of BSQ used to pay fees will be less than anticipated at the start of the cycle. This does not effect BTC fees as they are always proportionate to the amount of BTC trade not accounting for the dust limits described above. In the last couple of cycles the USD/BSQ price has reduced during the cycle mainly due to a trader that was reimbursed a large amount of BSQ selling it on the BSQ/BTC market.

I do not think either of the above are anything that needs addressing. I think it is just a quirk of BSQ. I also think the percentage of trades fees paid with with BSQ and BTC with respective to trade numbers is pretty constant.
