This is certainly a very important role for BISQ and one that requires both skilled work, and a large degree of trust. Thanks for your efforts thus far! I haven't seen any reports from your refund activity and the last known info. was given by @burningman2. Could you please update publicly the current state of your refund activities?
If this summary was accurate, how much of the 4.511 BTC surplus do you have left from this month's refunds? Another question regarding this role specifically, will it have an associated bond? Thanks for your time. For those that might be looking through thread #80, here is the relevant suggestion:

|
There's no reason for this role. The donation address owner, @burningman2, should have this function. |
|
@huey735 No, those are 2 different roles. |

Report March 1 2020: Paid out 11.4729727 BTC in 45 transactions until Feb 29 [1]. From the 144701 BSQ which I received by refunding 11.5 BTC (0.03 BTC is difference to what I already refunded) I got 73901 BSQ already reimbursed, so it is missing 70800 BSQ. @cbeams, @m52go Do you think that is acceptable with our current issuance limits? Please note that this is not a compensation but a reimbursement of the BTC the burningman has converted already back to BSQ by burning them. It should have been requested in the past cycles already but I did not had time to get to that final report to have a correct overview. Summary: [1] List of transactions of payouts: Date/Time,Details,Address,Transaction ID,Amount in BTC,Confirmations [2] The disputes, including pending disputes, are as follows: Dispute nr. 1 Dispute nr. 2 Dispute nr. 3 Dispute nr. 4 Dispute nr. 5 Dispute nr. 6 Dispute nr. 7 Dispute nr. 8 Dispute nr. 9 Dispute nr. 10 Dispute nr. 11 Dispute nr. 12 Dispute nr. 13 Dispute nr. 14 Dispute nr. 15 Dispute nr. 16 Dispute nr. 17 Dispute nr. 18 Dispute nr. 19 Dispute nr. 20 Dispute nr. 21 Dispute nr. 22 Dispute nr. 23 Dispute nr. 24 Dispute nr. 25 Dispute nr. 26 Dispute nr. 27 Dispute nr. 28 Dispute nr. 29 Dispute nr. 30 Dispute nr. 31 Dispute nr. 32 Dispute nr. 33 Dispute nr. 34 Dispute nr. 35 Dispute nr. 36 Dispute nr. 37 Dispute nr. 38 Dispute nr. 39 Dispute nr. 40 Dispute nr. 41 Dispute nr. 42 Dispute nr. 43 Dispute nr. 44 Dispute nr. 45 Dispute nr. 46 Dispute nr. 47 Dispute nr. 48 Dispute nr. 49 Summary of reasons for disputes: |

Per bisq-network/admin#69, I've just updated the description of this issue to link to the new https://bisq.wiki/Refund_Agent article and @bisq-network/refund-agents team. The wiki article is just a stub for now. I've asked @RefundAgent to flesh it out, detailing the duties and rights of this role, etc. |
This sounds reasonable, though we may want to break it up over a couple cycles so as not to create a huge spike all at once. Before we do this for Cycle 11 (or possibly break it up over Cycle 11 and Cycle 12), I have the following request: There is a lot of confusion about this role, and the closely-related role played by @burningman2. To my knowledge, the relationship and workflow between these roles has never been properly documented anywhere. I would like to see this clearly written down somewhere on the wiki, probably at https://bisq.wiki/Refunds (which would be a member of the
I will create an issue regarding this documentation immediately after submitting this comment, and I ask that @RefundAgent and/or @burningman2 raise their hands to own that issue. I suggest make the writing and review of that document a condition for complete reimbursement in Cycle 11/12. The purpose of doing so is to make sure that all interested parties, especially stakeholders who see these large reimbursements spiking issuance beyond planned budget levels have a resource they can refer to in order to understand why things work this way and how it all makes sense. |
Done, see bisq-network/admin#70. @RefundAgent, @burningman2, please indicate who among you will own this and I'll assign you accordingly. Thanks. |
@burningman2 those are two functions that don't need to be separated into two roles. |
|
@huey735 Seperation of concerns makes sense for several reasons. Security, censorhsip resistence and to not mix different requirements (burningman does not need to scale with 100000 of users, refund agent must as well with language extensions). Both have very different risk profiles which makes it easy to scale up the refund agent (he is taking the risk). |
|
Fixed, thanks. See bisq-network/admin#70. |

Ok, I can take that: bisq-network/admin#70 (comment) |

Payout for dispute:
Amount: 0.0196676 BTC

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT@RefundAgent will cease to own this role starting with the beginning of Cycle 13 (the next cycle at the time of this writing). This means we are looking for a replacement to take over this role as soon as possible. If you are interested, please speak up! Note that basic documentation for this role is available at https://bisq.wiki/Refund_Agent and @m52go is working on putting together more comprehensive documentation of the processes involved between the refund agent and the donation address holder (@burningman2). Suitable candidates for this role will need to have a considerable amount of bitcoin on hand to perform payouts to traders. That bitcoin will be paid back through trades with the donation address holder. The Refund Agent may request compensation for the time and effort expended in handling cases and for the time value of the bitcoin used in these payouts prior to being paid back. |
|
Note that I have just announced this in the bisq.support Keybase subteam as well. I'll announce it more broadly if I don't hear any interest within the next few days. |
|
What will happen to trade funds in the interim? I know all funds get donated to some stranger in the 2 of 2 system. I assume traders will have to go directly to the DAO to get compensated in BSQ then trade for BTC if indeed there is any liquidity for that? |
|
Report April 3, 2020. This covers the payouts after March 15 which was reported above. I now give the collateral tx so the readers can check that the funds were sent to the donation address. The cases where I paid out to the buyer and seller addresses are caused by bugs such that the dispute was never sent to the Refund Agent but had to be settled on Keybase. I have given the nyms of the support agents that were involved, in case it was not only me.: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At this stage I am even and got compensated by the DAO 19 March ID payout tx af384ec62086bce704fc7ccdea41900b90b76eb08ff4564074de7dade105743c -0.072947 19 March ID payout tx ee73c63e23083b388d230c5e949c25f43b68dd0c58b5f02f7bc4f734bea4085d -0.0174716 19 March ID payout tx 713b97bf2fc82dcf68e48e2c64017d6fa74e8bb2916b013cc158946b58ef491d -0.050182 20 March ID payout tx 0486bfc5504417d032e736adaff8fa9bd4b2958179e71eb92ca985c3775be0fc -2.60028026 wiz 21 March ID 25 March ID payout tx 56ed5871a162cabd13a7991d6cb267921cfd42cdaf939e5d9693a8461f2d8351 -0.0220404 25 March ID payout tx 98a5212723ffc0ff913a7fe1ce8197468deb24bcd9a29a46268a5010a6057a9d -0.0338244 29 March ID payout tx ab452f470cf53f1a160c5bd365e94a831d7de662600cd09cd58fa00f2d2e678a -0.057526 29 March ID payout tx db678f3901f97af49b802fb2112ff9e65fdae7b52156ca0c04315f2305e4e450 -0.037026 31 March ID payout tx 9db4246df730710111a1000c5bde40c9fceb06773c1d428bb26e36830574ef58 -0.0220676 31 March ID payout tx 1 April ID payout tx 3dd3bcab478e729ff97cb4f9f44d23628bca733277ef062d9a357b003217a4f2 -0.0144364 1 April ID 2 April ID payout tx e6ec888a95d1d698a57e3cfa2b44102db8b61fb608d949a19c2ec1afcdf2a205 -0.048526 2 April ID payout tx 47e4d17ac0f4cba74b3de5ebde3b2beaa4b1b76f3183376085d76e7000c9e473 -0.016026 The sum of the BTC is 3.64436 for the refunds from 19 March to 2 April |

Reimbursement out of Bisq Refund completed out of BisqTicket closed the june 12th Summary: Trade ID: 5162117 Deposit: 368c808fe268f12a84034cfca8bb782ccadf5e03ed00e2aa4f5088562029e8f0 Summary notes: Reason for dispute: bug MediationThis trade was taken in July 2023. There was a bug showing the deposit incorrectly in Bisq so mediation was opened. Buyer sent payment, seller confirmed payment. I made a proposal to compelte the trade as normal. Arbitration was opened in July. It appears no arbitration ticket was opened and the trade was never reimbursed. Buyer and seller contacted me both at the same time this month in Matrix to enquire about the trade.

Never mind my question above. I understand now that I also see that the 5% reference in the "Summary notes" I quoted above was unrelated and thus a red herring for me as I was trying to understand this. I've obviously been out of touch with this aspect of the arbitration compensation model, but it's worth mentioning here that labeling the line item |

My role is to refund traders who cannot resolve their differences using the mediators. The traders have their BTC sent to the Donation Address owner if they escalate to me. In my role I need to pay the traders according to my judgement of the dispute and is reimbursed by a highly volatile BSQ at the end of each voting cycle. Check #80 for the present suggestion to reimburse my expenses which should reduce my exposure to the volatility.
