feature: password protected trades/offers

Hey @LeoSpyke

This is indeed a feasible feature that should be easy to implement.

An straight forward way to go about it is to add 2 new fields to the Order model: is_private and password. If an order is_private == True, it should not be served via /api/book . Only a direct link should be able to access the order. Once a user opens the direct link, he should only be able to take it if he knows the password.

We could further simplify it if the /api/order/ endpoint accepts the password as an argument (e.g, /api/order/?order_id=9999&password=abcd) and if we can relay this argument directly from the frontend by using the route /order/9999/abcd. That way users do not need to share link and password, but only the link. And we do not need to create a new frontend component to enter the password (less work, gud!).

This feature will require both, new backend and frontend functionality. I am a bit at capacity lately, but happy to help if anyone wants to take the challenge!

I think the buyer could have this option as well... I imagined like if you're in a multiplayer game looking for lobbies and there are "public" and "private" matches. The private ones have a password. Is that the idea @LeoSpyke ?

Idk if this is a lot for the escope of the application. I don't see any other DEX having this kind of feature. So maybe is worth collecting users opinions on this just like @Reckless-Satoshi did for the #1154 PR on Telegram.

Anyway, I'm willing to take this enhancement. Assign me if it's still desirable.

Yes, this should be a new field in the MakerForm under "Advanced Options" available for both, buy and sell orders.

Mmm, I think it is potentially useful! It will be a niche feature though. Therefore, it is best if this option is kind of hidden and does not clutter the UI or makes it difficult to navigate for newbies.

Awesome! We can turn it into a Sats rewarded task for 120K Satoshis. I am assigning you.
