Selling 30BSQ is too expensive. A partial solution is bonded trading.

A couple days ago I took an offer to sell BSQ. Maker was a new user, as expected, trying to use BSQ. I had to:
Set 0.006 BTC min security deposit (400%).
I ftrading fees are paid in BSQ I have to pay 31.8% mining fees at 52sat/vbyte, or 27.03% mining fee at 58 sa/vbyte. Cost is higher paying in BSQ because it doesn't have segwit yet.
I spent 8075 sats (4USD, 6% of the trade) to send the BSQ with a 25 sats/vbyte mining bid.

In total, taking that offer cost me more than a 30% of the trade amount and maker more than 10%.

30BSQ (about 60USD) to spend in trading fees is a sufficient amount to trade during more than a month for most of the traders. Buying higher amounts should be considered an investment in Bisq and not to pay trading fees, unless this trader moves a very high volume.

That's why we need to place a parallel market using a chat and bonds. I have just set up a bond for reputation, locking 150BSQ for 90 days. How to make this available, easy to understand and secure for buyers and sellers are still into discussion, but I have no doubt this is necessary for Bisq.

This will improve as soon as @sqrrm is finalizing the atomic swap between BSQ<>BTC.

That's why I wanted to emphasize that this is a partial solution. Maybe Bisq won't be able to scale to trade coffees, but it should try to be efficient for trades around 100USD, which considerable amount at poor countries.

Oh, that's great @ripcurlx . @sqrrm do you have a link to the scheme to be used?

I'm working on it but it's a big change. So far only in a local branch.
