It will compliment users that want to use Haveno but do not have any Monero for the security deposit as it will be a way for them to obtain Monero easily.

It will also be useful for those wanting to trade Monero for no fees.

You're doing this on the day Haveno has 2 competing markets launch?

Haveno buyers and sellers need Monero security bonds to make a trade. This means Haveno traders need Monero before they can make or take an offer.

This proposal is an easy way to buy or sell Monero with no security deposit.

Think of it more of a replacement for Local Monero than competition for Haveno.

Maybe what you’re thinking is like an XMR version of Bisq's “Get your first BTC” room?

https://bisq.wiki/Getting_your_first_BTC This dilemma is real and understandable, while it’s not clear what would be the best solution:

For new users, Bisq requires between 0.002 and 0.007 BTC for traders to make their first trade: [...] It can be difficult for new bitcoiners to acquire their first coins, so this requirement is often a barrier for new Bisq users. The Get your first BTC room offers one possible way to get this initial bitcoin without signing up for a centralized exchange.

Basically the same thing for Haveno, I guess.
