Before the 1.0 update as a BTC/altcoin buyer I was able to edit the security deposit to 1%. Now it’s not possible to go below 5%??  
That’s 0.1btc on a 2 btc order. Why is it so high??

As you may have noticed, there are scam attempts running atm.  
So Bisq urgently installs first counter-measures in order to make scammer’s job harder.  
Other measures should follow, but increasing the security deposit is one of the 1st one.
