Interesting that Robosats (another P2P trading platform) has built a system with no reputation. You are encouraged to never re-use your robot tokens.

However, people do re-use their robot tokens, all the time. So, that's their reputation. You see the same users all the time. 

I wonder about how the Robosats no-reputation thing can work, over the long term. Especially when attacks like this come up.

Thanks for clarifying, this is a thorough explanation of what happened. Not sure if the bond method is useful as it also makes the whole experience complicated. 

If we want to live in a world with privacy and no third trusted parties, reputation becomes key. In the future this will be even more important. I think I realized that when I read "The sovereign individual" where this topic is discussed.
